Just rub in a ring of contact glue around the back edge and allow to dry. Trim off any tails with sharp scissors. I.ve done this for years on fabrics up to 18 ounce canvas, with no problem. Regards Ceeg...and a Happy New Year to All.

Have made a total of (now) 8 doorstoppers, rope work covered half gallon flagons. The recipients just have to put the sand in themselves, I've done my bit by drinking all the contents. Regards all Ceeg

I've made 6 natural jute-covered four pint cider flagon door stops, for Xmas pressies, Enjoyed every minute. Regards all Ceeg

My Bushcraft fantasy, is to walk in the local woods and hedgerow-ed by-ways without feeling the need to pick up all the trash and detritus of so-called civilisation. As true as I sit here Regards all Ceeg

You get a stronger fix of the eyelet by making a small cross cut, just big enough to admit the head of the cone-shaped male piece, rather than removing any of the material . The flaps of the cross cut will be rolled back and trapped within the ridge collar of the brass insert. I can't help...

Blue polka dot galluses. Regards A slimmed down Ceeg

A layered foam archery target.

I watched all the way through, fascinated. The process of it and the tools needed have a remarkable resonance in some aspects of applied knotting work, even the use of that "third hand" (Swedish fid) and the baton (splicing sabre). And, yes, I too can vouch for the aching fingers in the doing...

Ha. The book was Herrmann's Intuitive Archery....the one I had from Son, was Herrigel's Zen in Archery, And as I pointed out, when apologising, I said that , if I had come across the book that I believed was sent in error, then I would probably have ordered it anyway. On the other hand, the book...

One of the pleasant things of mellowing with the passing years, is that I rarely have cause to be irked by the irritating situations that life throws at one from time to time. I ordered a a book to do with some of the mystical things which associate with intuitive archery...hmmm, it sounded just...

A beaut of a 44@28 Assyrian bow from Bogar of Slovakia. Shoots sweet from the box. 'Fellah knows his stuff alright. Ceeg

By golly, I do like the ditty bag...the build quality and substance looks as if it would easily cope with a direct hit from a twelve inch , HE shell. Regards Ceeg

Nice one! this is exactly the set-up that I use for "leathering" a wire eye splice. This is always done with the Baseball stitch, except I start from the centre and work towards the ends and I find it easier to keep the twin strands parallel, if they're drawn over a thin screw drive until just...

Just raised an order for a Vermil Victory. May be a lonnnng time arriving. Ceeg

Uncleboob, you've probably done the task already. I found that a folded hem will staple in position very easily while you sew, basting tape is better, but expensive for small repairs. Ceeg

On the other hand, could you not sew a short but stout leather strap to an appropriate position on the belt? , with a holdfast arrangement, ( buckle or Sam Brown stud), to secure t'other end . Just slot the strap directly through the sheath, or the axe frog , no hooks ,Carra's, danglers or...

A seagrass straw hat, now in its 12th season. Just needs an annual reshape over a pan of boiling water. Regards all Ceeg

A smallish, layered foam target for " garden" Archery. A small pressure washer. 10 mtrs of 6x19 wire, for splicing practice. Rgds Ceeg

Not only very well written, it is a piece that draws and involves the reader. Salutations, Storyteller. Regards Ceeg

Job done. I reasoned that antler handles had been around for much longer than modern adhesives and I sought to try out the method of boiling the crown, knowing that you get just one shot at it. Another thought, was that I couldn't see First Nations successfully winkling-out all that core...
