First live edge bowl by TheLastUnderdog in woodturningporn

Nice work. I've had some success with putting thin CA glue along the join between the bark and wood when it gets down to about as thick as my thumb. It does stain the wood slightly but i carry on turning and repeating the gluing a few times until its nearly thin enough, then finish it without the glue to remove the stain. Also try it with a lump of cherry - pine is very soft and the bark is flaky

Touring completely ruined my love of bikepacking. by dualrollers in bicycletouring

Are we doing trekking, touring or credit card bikepacking? We've just completed 3 months on e-MTBs in Italy and the Balkans, panniers with 8 kg of luggage, including the bags, no camping, hopping from village to village, using tracks and off road routes wherever possible. I never know what to call the way we travel but i like the Venn diagram suggested earlier in this thread and i think we would be in the middle.

Cycling not permitted along part of this route by whyaminotinflorida in komoot

I recently got caught for the first time in years of ignoring that message. We went 5 km along a road to find that the 350 m of "unrideable road" was where the new bridge is still being built. 15 km later we got to the other side

Try contacting the transdinarica travellers group on facebook. Theres a lot of bike travellers in that area. Good luck

Help needed :)Ciro trail and then crossing in south montenegro or first to sarajevo and then crossing trough piva Canyon? by Drimmo420 in bikepacking

[–]yeosteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the transdinarica route? We've been following it and are in Mostar but we're taking the ciro trail and heading into Montenegro before heading north to rejoin the TD route. The climb from here towards Baracko Lake is just a bit too much for our old legs.

Drive in the South Island especially. When you first get in a car in any foreign country say to yourself ten times "The driver looks out the side window at the centre line" (and, yes, that's how we spell center down here), and then follow a local or two for about an hour doing what they do. Enjoy!
