great work dude. reminds me that i really must finish that first sheath I've had sitting around for too long....

watch received saturday, many thanks

I'll take the watch please, DM incoming...

Congrats on the recovery. Are we going to see you more on the archery than the leatherwork now then?

Hmm, I wonder if it'd be possible to make something that goes on the top of an opened can. Leaving the can without any change (just using it as a fuel reservoir) and the attachment has a wick, some method of suitable seal around the opening, reflector and hanger/handle all in one reusable...

Hey Guys, Most important thing: Big thanks to the organisers. I did get a few photos on my phone, mostly from my wander Sunday morning, link below https://picasaweb.google.com/103120631720323581085/GiantsSeatBushcraftWeekend20120218?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCIDAv4Ww7vqoWg&feat=directlink...
