Im no fungi expert, but im pretty sure thats a death cap mate from the amanita family one of the most deadliest mushrooms on the planet.

Beautiful work mate :)

This book is great for beginners, it teaches the history of runes, how to use them, how to write them, how to read them...+ its really cheap i got it for 6quid (used) :) Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0892810939/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= Cheers Floki

Right so i jumped down to my local fabric store and the only natural canvas that they had was this one (pics down below) it's 350g/12oz and it looks very thin, im scared that its a bit to weak for what im trying to make, but then again ive never made a rucksack out of canvas before. Is this a...

A bit of an update on the summer shoes. Ive decided on a Vibram Fivefingers Shoes, ive got a great bargain on them. They fit very well and are extremely breathable and flexible. The only thing i recommend is if you plan on buying them and can't try them on first go for a one lower number then...

Yeah had a look at those, but they dont really have the color im after, i'm afraid the only way i'll get it is if i dye it (+ i think its going to be cheaper). Nah thank you tho, the postage comes around pretty much the same :)

Can anybody recommend a good dye for canvas? And is there anything special i should know when dyeing or just follow the instructions?

Hi sorry to interrupt i'm just in the market for a 3x3 tarp and had just put the DD 3x3 in the basket ready to buy, but now im seeing all of you lovely folk mentioning lighter tarps from 400g to 200g, what would they be called if you dont mind me asking?

I'll probably have another look around my local shops for the canvas on monday and hopefully they can at least point me in the direction of where i could find it. Dying it? Thats not a bad idea, i havent really thought of that :D PS Whats the tool youre after?

Do you mind me asking where did you get the leather, because i've been having trouble getting it lately? No i havent bought the canvas yet, i looked at some of the links, but it just seem that i cant find that old WWII color that im looking for :/

Well im inspired by the old WWI and II rucksacks and i love the simple design of the roll up bags, so i think ill try mixing it up a bit, but i'll definitely keep it as traditional as possible (leather and waxed canvas) :)

Ive got a question about waxing canvas, should i wax the fabric before i sew it together or should i wax the rucksack when its already made?

I agree that Cordura might be a batter/stronger material however i just love the look of canvas and leather together, its just something about it :) I dont attend on making a frame i think ill try and add some padding for batter comfort.

Yeah I decided on a waxed canvas material and all of the outer accessories will be made out of leather. Id love to get the salt and pepper canvas, but so far i had no luck finding it. :)

Yeah that sounds great, ill ask Peto for some advice. The thing is my country is pretty s~~t when it comes to things like that and practically everything else, also the postage would be pretty much the same, so i was thinking of ordering overline anyway. If you can point me to some suppliers...
