    Hazel knobsticks.

    Knobsticks are made by either using the shoot and roots or by a 'v' cut down. One of the arms/shoots it cut down and shaped the other is left long for the stick. Actually , quite difficult to explain , but I asked this of the professional stick maker 'the stick man' and he said I was quite...

    DIY snow shoes

    What about using one of those wallpaper steamers plumbed into a large diameter pipe , create a shelf so the wood that's to be bent doesn't sit in hot water and away you go......er in theory anyway ....not tested it myself but I understand walking stick makers have used this method.

    Forging... AKA... hot metal bashing

    The skewer looks very nice indeed and looks like a very nice fire poker. Bracelet of course will go rusty as you used mild but that would be excellent in stainless. I made a belt buckle that would look great with that , so if you make a stainless one i'd be up for buying one.

    Made this new knife.

    Cheers fellas , the only way I can think of to improve just such a knife is to use a stainless blade and stainless loveless bolts and lanyard hole. I say improve but what I really mean is super clean. As yet I don't know where to find such material for the blade plus to be honest I've never...
