I use a stamp for the weave http://www.theidentitystore.co.uk/products.asp?SubCatID=55 as well as one for the sea shell edge. I actually prefer the Tri-weave stamp but I struggle to do it without the pattern being lost lost some point.

This is Alan's bushcrafter style with damascus stainless steel. The blade is 3mm thick and 95mm long. The handle is stabilised burl with thin black liners. The fit and finish is exemplary as you would expect. The knife has been used but not heavily. It has been stropped but not heavily...

As I say not my first leather project but definately my first sheath http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41705 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46681

Thanks. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you all. I am very pleased with it. It is my first sheath but I have done a few leather projects before so can't say I am a complete newbie but definitely still a beginner. Since I started tooling leather I find it hard to make anything without patterning it in some way. I keep thinking...

I got one of the Spiderco Bushcrafter knives and was like most people not particularly taken with the sheath. I asked Rapidboy about making a sheath for me but I would have to wait for a while and send the knife to him. I decided I should really try making a sheath myself. So here we have it...

You get used to back quivers surprisingly quickly. I struggled with mine at first but it is my first choice now. I think an open top would be easier as trying to locate one of the small holes behind you with an arrow tip will not be easy. Plus how will you get your judo tips or blunts in ;)

It is about time Ally got a decent supplier in the UK. They are very good canoes even if you have space for a normal one.

Back out today again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eatktq1pLqQ Water balloons this time. I am really looking forward to getting a camera with a higher frame rate :D

I'm hoping it has had a bigger impact on the tick population.

It is strange how these things work. It must have taken 20 shots to hit the potato but less than half a dozen to put the arrow through the bottle neck. I guess the urge to pop the balloon was way stronger than the one to hit a potato.

Got a bit more garden archery done today and made another video. thought it was about time I stopped starting anew thread for each video :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pVLXoKZcX0 For the first couple of shots I had cut the top off a plastic bottle and put a small balloon in it. I needed...

I don't know of any laws governing it. I have high walls round the garden and will use the gable of the house as a backstop but have not hit it. I started close to the butt so as to minimise misses and only worked further away as I got more confident.

I'm still don't think I am that good. If I was I would have hit the ball sooner. And the first candle would have been a bit longer when I hit it ;) I just aim instinctively. I anchor at the same point (or try to) and only look at what I want to hit with both eyes open. I do not look at the bow...

It is a foam filled target butt. I have a bag target I use occasionally as well.

Did some more archery in the garden today and made another video. Even I am impressed with the last couple of shots and I was there :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTxF4wiXyG4

It is actually and American Flatbow so you could get one guilt free :D

For the record I paid for the Achrey site in advance, as I always do. The cost is not excessive and I have never even counted the money given to me. On a few occasions we have even just had a tin for people to stick a contribution in with funds going to a charity. For other sites where the...

You'll have plenty of time to practise. As long as it takes for them to change the law and allow hunting with a bow :) Plus I am not sure you want to be shooting up at anything. What goes up must come down and all that. I have the same one at 45# as well. I got it as I was finding getting...

I don't aim using the bow at all. I am only looking at the target and nothing else. It is the instinctive form of archery. This explains it a bit http://www.tavistock-archers.org.uk/instinctive.html It is not as consistently accurate as using sights but I find it more satisfying.
