[Jeffro]

Anyone found any cool stuff lately or in the past?Did you take it?

Tell us about your scabbing exploits.

I'm always scabbing free meals at mum and dads. But then again who doesn't :lol:

[Puk]

I found a shed fallow antler last week and brought it home. It will make a good bow rack for the chek-mate when i mount it on some natural timber. not as good as a shoulder mount buck would have, but beggars can't be choosers.

Oh yeah, and i didn't have enough salt when i shot my fox, so the farmer let me use a lot from a bag of stock salt. So i suppose i scabbed that.

I also got the filling for my target for free, out of the rubbish of the two local agri-businesses (and the slightly damaged wool-pack to put it in.)

i scabed a cut throat razor from my grate unckle he had 3 from when his father started to shave back around 1915 so i got 1 and 2 other people got 1 each

[Puk]

Do you use it for skinning our game or yourself?
You've got to be careful with those things!

puk i have used it once and cut myself. its not sharp enuff to shave anything but your arm so when i get a strop ill try and use it in sted of a normal razor

A mates wife is a hairdresser who used to use straight razors,

her advice was to blow up a balloon, put shaving creme on it and shave the balloon to practice, messy but better than "gunston-ing" yourself

[hoytman86]

ive scabbed someones old hose out of the trash on side of the road

[Gooderz]

i onece scabbed a go cart (proper one with bike wheels), 2 old road bikes which everything worked on it and my mate scabbed a couch and a CD player and 2 speaker that he re wired and thenm they worked. 8)

I love Hard Rubbish :D

Over a period of time I scabbed a heap of old wood pallets and some mini orb iron sheeting and made a nice rustic book shelf.

I was also offered a small colour tvas the buttons on it were not working/broken. $4 later and about 30min and we had new tv for the bedroom :D

And then there was the BMW that I was told if I could get it going I could have it. Got it going but we all now how that ended don't we. :roll:

[Garden Gnome!]

Ive scabbed heaps over the years from falling of bikes and Tatto's :wink: well that part is true.

I've also Just recently scabbed a leather recliner and matching poof, replaced broken board in poof, welded broken leg on recliner.

Scabbed our dryer from the tip 17 years ago replaced broken rubber belt on back, works beautiful now.

Have picked up my hunting steal from the tip too, as well as 2.5 thousand rounds of 38 specials which I gave to my very gratefull uncle.

The back verandah from our aunty's burnt house.

An 8 foot compressor tank which I converted into a BBQ/SPIT.

[Clinglish]

I have scabbed heaps from lengths of steel, and timber to chainsaws and a welder once ,Most of the stuff was in need of a small repair or just some knowledge to get going or to use.
The latest Have been about $1500 worth of curtains
A Zodiac inflatable tender worth about $255US new It will cost about $100 to repair
And a rooftop camper That needs a new matress and a patch on the canvas as well as part of the frame is broken .I reckon maybe $50 to repair.
I love being a scab ,It means stuff that might end up as waste will get used .

[Grunter]

Last thing i got was an old beer Keg, bloody empty of course of B#$^(*% from this site. Turning it into a little Smoker come BBQ grill pit that is fully portable for hunting trips. When finished will post pics in " How to Section" here.

[Jeffro]

Damm good idea that Grunter and ive been wanting one of them .You dont often see kegs out the front of houses.But when I do ill be surely scabbing it.

[bowhunting4eva]

um i have scabbed a bow for a few months when i first got into hunting, scabbed an arrow i found, a deer antler and other numerous little things. Nothing better than getting something for free.

[Grunter]

Do not see them lying out side the pubs here for to long anymore. Told by a mate who runs a pub, that they have to pay a lease on them as well. Should be finished next time home, will post pics like i said. Might be able to inprove from what i have done.
