Product Information

What makes a conker poisonous are the toxins in them called glycosides and saponins. The only animal that can and do eat conkers are deer - which have chemicals in their stomachs that can digest these toxins. G-clamps are designed for woodworking projects. This model has a fixed frame holding a threaded rod that connects to a flat end or swivel shoe. The T-handle attached to the rod is turned to tighten the clamp. These clamps have a smaller jaw size and a limited range of 25-150mm compared to F-clamps. There are alternative conker game scoring systems where scores are accrued according to how many times players hit the opponents conker, as well as bonus points for smashing the opponent’s conker. You can keep a conker in a damp dark bag to preserve longevity, however once a conker has dried out it’s not possible to successfully germinate and grow a tree! What’s the real name of a conker?

Go wild with natural materials – decorative grasses, flowers, and colourful autumn leaves all look great and are another thing to go on a hunt to find (bonus activity there!). How about little shells, pretty pebbles, or found feathers? As long as it’s not too big for their conker creations and is (relatively) clean or cleanable, anything goes! Craft materials like coloured feathers, googly eyes, paint and glitter also work well, and don’t forget fabrics, raffia, string or wool too.
