What did you buy today?

[Keith_Beef]

I went across town after work to the archery shop.

Picked up a 68" bow with a draw weight of 35lbs, to get started again after a 25 year break and half a dozen carbon-fibre arrows.

I also bought a stick of the blue resin that the chap in the shop used to fix the piles in the shafts... thinking I might be able to use it as temporary glue for holding bits together while fitting up, drilling, that sort of thing, when making knives, jewellery, other bits of general metalwork.

I have two dozen arrows that I ordered a couple of weeks ago currently in transit.

What are you making ?

 

[Woody girl]

Oh I do loads of things. Always doing something.today I made some antler tine topped ferro rods and antler buttons. Tomorrow I plan to use some air dry clay and cookie cutters to make Xmas decorations to sell at a craft fair. Then there is the ongoing project of making shopping bags from recycled materials which I give out free to cut plastic bag use..... never a dull moment. Then if I get fed up crafting things there is foraging and making jam or wine or wierd flavoured spirits. (Hawthorn vodka is my last idea) there is also knitting felting carving spoons...badly..... ( must practice more).... list goes on. I'll have a go at anything. Made a leather belt, pouch, and knife sheath this year, and a wool bushshirt shirt. Next bushcraft project is a wood gas stove from tins. I love it.

Wow, it makes me feel lazy I’ll search a few of your threads for examples

Sorry Mike not yet posted any photos as I don't know how. Not good with computers in fact don't have one. Just use my phone. Still with these dark evenings switch off the tele, put on a cd or radio and get going there are plenty of ideas to inspire . Good luck.

Nothing too exciting but hopefully very handy for carving on a budget. A small double sided hoof knife. Don't know how to post pictures but here's a link to the same one

Ive used sharper spades but it looks like it will do a job with some sharpening without costing too much.

Today I bought a Tormek T-4 Bushcraft Edition water cooled sharpening system. Well its actually for xmas from my wife but that's a long way off when things need to be played with.
Was after one last year but finally made up my mind that it is a great purchase.

Where from and have you any details on what makes it a 'Bushcraft Edition'?

Cracking bit of kit mate; worth the money for all manner of sharpening - the triton version has cheaper jugs that fit just like the Tormek brand but cheaper

It’s just the sales pitch because it’s forest green-ish as opposed to blue and you get the knife and axe jig with it and a complementary Kansbol knife from Mora mate...

That’s a strange one, the Zulu. I’d love to see the mill in action doing the jigging on those handles. One of those knives that did nothing for me but I’m getting to like.
