No danger of offending anyone with that dewi - we all know what a litigious society we have. However, while technically possible that particular travesty rarely happens because of the expense of lawyering up - while suing Appleby's for not cutting you off is quite doable because if you have a...

Double post. Sorry 'bout that.

Impressive photography Bob.

Good luck with that! I recon that will come down to - as George Carlin put it - "My junk is stuff - your stuff is junk." All they have to do is insert a clause exempting rare collectables or antiquities.

Good point - I've always said that the zombies in Walking Dead are a metaphor for the unprepared, or simply for the Others. As always - Us against Them.

a. Now that you point it out I do see some glue line - I'll try to do better. b. If you mean something like this - I have been working on the assumption that for rough use items like sheaths or harness that you want the thread to sit in a groove below the surface to protect it from abrasion -...

I've never seen anything quite like that, but frost is cool... That was on my cold frame a few winters back. When it is cold enough for such things most people consider dashing from the door to the car as being outside - and probably never see them.

There are some great leather craftsmen (and women I imagine) on this forum, and I believe in learning by emulating what is being done by the experts. To that end I have watched a lot of videos, and looked at a lot of pictures on the internet to try to learn to make the best sheaths (I'm also a...

Fire role.

I like that one a lot. Looks great now and as mentioned is likely to age gracefully. Outstanding.

It depends a lot on your hosting acct and the way you have it set up. I have 2 different hosts with several wordpress sites between them, and one (lunarpages) really doesn't do anything to assist you with security other than alert you to fix it if something gets out of hand - the other one...

Congratulations! Did you give yourself a cheer? I did when I did it the first time.

Wax should work, but inevitably you will occasionally swallow a flake of it.

That is called a sub hilt fighter, but you surely could skin with it as well if you were into such things. Do an image search for "Loveless sub hilt fighter" and you will see some of the (rare and pricey) masterpieces of fantasy knives. Any collector would love to own one.

White pine works good and is very common in my area. Albizia julibrissin - an invasive exotic which we commonly call mimosa is outstanding. I try to make the hearth and spindle out of the same piece of wood if possible. Verbascum - commonly called mullein may make the very best spindle if...

I almost agree with you, but then I consider the tremendous amount of gun violence in my country which seems to corelate directly to the relatively vast number of guns. On the other hand violent crime has trended down (here) in the last decade or so despite lax gun laws - which I attribute...

Free charging stations for plug in electrics at restaurants and shopping malls are becoming quite common.

So would it be bad manners to pass yours around to empty it if one inadvertently brought it already filled? If I was going to carry a flask (a habit I think I'll not start at this point) I suppose I would fill it with my favorite tipple which is Jameson Irish whiskey - does that make me...

On occasion I have knowingly paid more than the lowest possible price for one reason or another, so there is that too.

Nice work - I like both. I might copy that second one more or less - probably work in a dangler somehow. I've promised a sheath for a woodlore type knife to my 17 year old Granddaughter. That kind of snap arrangement might help to keep the knife from getting lost or bunged up long enough for...
