Hey Paddy, For a lot of my knives I've used Helle blades (quality Norweigan, all around £20 including shipping from the US) http://collectibles.shop.ebay.com/Knives-Swords-Blades-/1401/i.html?LH_PrefLoc=0&_nkw=helle&_dmpt=Collectible_Knives&_sop=15&_stpos=pr1%201xa&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282&gbr=1...

Thanks for sharing!

You're not showing off, you're offering inspiration! Definitely inspirational!

I made a hip flask as a present, but there is talk that the alcohol dissolves the beeswax. I don't know how fast it does, and wine wouldn't be as severe as spirits, so I would presume a re-wax every now and then would keep it tip-top Here's a great tutorial...

Wow, great job. Thanks for sharing... it's not showing off, it's offering inspiration! And it's definitely inspirational.

Great work buddy!

Ouch! Perhaps send a few pieces off to be stabalized

Great thread, I'm inspired to get back into it. A few years ago I did a lot of research into the subject and it culminated in a pine flatbow (the only wood I had available). Bow tillered, but when I came to string it for the first time... CRACK! I didn't get a bow out of it but I got a lot...

H is for Holly

Im in the North West, I'd be happy to meet up and build along with you. What equipment do you have? Cheers, Will

Nice job. Hmm, I reckon carry on! You've got this far after all. Gosh looking at your shavings it really does look like hard work. Sharp tools!

Nice I didn't know it was so simple, I thought it required lazer etching. Check out the EKA W11 for inspiration on the chequering. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=eka+w11 (Ignore the sarcasm :-P)

Ah, welcome back to the dark side! Great tutorial, I think I'll be going for the gold leaf option :-P

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, John. Looks like the perfect blade, and at £40 that's a bargain!

Kayak Fishermen, eh? There's a combination I never thought would mix!

It's OK I think we all signed up for this knowing there's a big variation in people's experience. It's the thought that counts ;-)

I'd also recommend a group shelter, if you get stuck up there it could easily save your life. http://www.rockrun.com/products/R%252bR-Group-Shelter-1%252d2-Person.html

Lol, well... It was an awkward thing to post, and was a lot bigger than a letter box - walking sticks definitely qualify. You wanted the recipient to open it immediately - hence you'd put a lot of work into and were proud of it. At this point I had a good inclin it was you, and the cherry on the...

Haha Stu, I know it was you! Cheers man :-D

It's arrived! From someone with a sense of humour, addresssing it to a Mr Will Derness :-D There's a lot of work gone into this, it's a fantastic horses head walking stick, in my size too! (I'm 6'5") And that's not all - two funky Christmas trees! Not sure what wood it's in, it has a really...
