to get the top flat i rolled a steel band and just welded on some flat sheet

Good idea... Will look into that.... Thanks

Yes I can't see any reason why not, that's all mine is....

Got my hands on some air tanks ages ago.. sick of tripping over them so I thought I would try and make a tipi stove.....Seems to work really well, just got to sort out the flue now..... Sorry about the pictures couldn't turn them around..

My daughter has been on my case for a while for her own bushcraft knife, so here we go!!! Comments welcome

Barethrills got it spot on. All i did with the little knife was to use letter's from hobbycraft. The bowie was a stencil i had made now to make more knives.

Finally got up the nerve to have a go, and im quite pleased with the results....amazing what you can do with some cotton buds, sticky tape and a battery charger...

Thanks for all the comments.... I'm hoping to start knocking a few of these out... Watch this space.. Paul

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated! Paul

After using the large bushknife i made (and my mate now owns) i thought i want one now!!! I made this from a leaf spring... Sheath is a bit ropey but it does the job!!!! Comments always welcome.. Paul

[ Hi, a few people ask if i could put a hoe type thing on the back of a tomahawk, had a day off last week and come up with this.... Have done a bit of digging with it made a little trench. What do you think???

Very nice work.

Yes i think its do-able!!!!!!! l will have a go.... if you like it we can talk later.....

Hopefully Mark, just really busy at the mo. Have you used that woodburning stove yet mate?

Will do that on my next one. I like that idea.

Hi spandit got a homemade forge and a proper anvil but the hammer is a cutdown 7lb sledge hammer mate.

Finshed this off this weekend, from an old ball peen hammer laying around the workshop. Is the spike too much??? let me know what you think! Many thanks Paul.

Made these strikers this weekend all hardened and ready, but have not got any flint to try them, does anyone know where i can get some in the West Yorkshire area, or i would trade one for some flint...... These strikers were Reliant Robin leaf springs....

Hello Scott. These are the materials i used, except for the tomahawk which was a ball peen hammer. The small cooking knife was the rebar which i forged, the rest were stock removal method, the parang being an old leaf spring and the leather handled knife was a file... Thanks for the comments...

After a few beers i was asked by a few mates if i could turn various bits of old metal into some bushcraft stuff, may have got a bit silly with the pointy bit on the tomahawk, but my mates were very suprised with the outcome of my challenge.
