    Another Ventile smock...

    Easy done! Luckily I have caught mine before multiple stitching has been done... aligning over the zip can be a nightmare!

    MakerMoot - Nov 13-15 2026 (Extended 12-15th)

    I have a Fister+Rossmann Cub sewing machine going spare and a couple of bags of surplus bone/horn/shell/antler bits if anyone wants a bit of a trade in stuff to play with - what have you got that I could play with in return :)

    Chris Reeve Shadow III. Survival Knife.

    I always wanted one and promised myself that my saving from my writing for Survival Weaponry and Techniques magazine would pay for one ... The pay was so poor that I never did manage to afford one! :(

    The Opinel #13. Musings on big Opinels - a fairly rational view.

    I always have a No9 on me on camps - never had it jam yet - and that is in We(s)t Wales! I love the Oppies "slicey" action :)

    Tidy Weekend in my Woods with John Fenna & Stewart (Red Kite)

    My take on the weekend.... I made a saw - from round wood - and a maul from dry wood (a bit rotten for the job in all honesty), cut some willow to clear a path, hacked back some brambles that were encroaching on the access, bimbled, boozed, and chilled... His camera is better than mine!

    Booked it just now - let us hope for good weather ... or at least not too wet :)

    My Covid-19 and later projects

    Project 185 Bowsaw Made from cleft Ash using only traditional tools - Gluts, wedges, maul (all home made), ax, froe, drawknife (on a home made shaving horse), hand powered drills and cabinet scrapers. The bolts came from my "bits" box and the cord is reused 550 paracord. As you can see my tool...
