My new knife, from 20p Land in China. Stabby, slashy and looks cool, on parcel duty and doing a fine job, but a bit flimsy for anything else. Got another one too, better quality blade but not very pretty.

I have a strange urge to make one. I always wanted to do Offa's Dyke end to end, tempted to do London to Offas Dyke in one of these things next summer. I wonder how practical this would really be? Any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiejAhol4Ps He made his from Coroplast boards, we...

This is an idea I had for a natural method not using a tin. I just thought someone may have already tried it and wondered if it worked or not. That is burying the wood in the ground and lighting the campfire over it. This would hopefully create an airtight environment where the wood would char...

I decided to have a try at making a tutorial. I thought I'd post it here as it's fairly easy to do and doesn't cost any money, also members could make suggestions on improvements or variants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGZCje0TaA

BBQ season is here again. Of course it would be much better to get out and light a real fire and have a proper slow barbecue, can't always do this though and sometimes it has to be my cheap stand up steel grill type with charcoal briskets in the paved backyard. So I'm just wondering if there...

Hi, Managed to tear my winter waterproof jacket right at the front between the pocket and zip. Anyone got any ideas for a repair, far too weak to hold a stitch. Thanks.

Just started to make my own yogurt, always been put off by all the expensive looking stuff you need (double lined boilers, starters, powdered milk, cooking thermometers ect) it never rang true, on the streets of India they make them fresh each day with no more technology than a large frying pan...

Don't know much about firelighting so I was hoping anyone with experience could give an opinion. Brandon Knappers knapped strike a lights for tinderboxes in the UK for 500 years, presumably adopting the standards methods from the past. They had pretty much the monopoly for the last two...

Hi, Hope this is the correct section of the forum to post this link in. UK Flint Knapping Forum has been going for about 10 months now. It is a non-profitmaking site dedicated to promoting flint knapping knowledge in the uk, posting instructional writings and videos, providing a place for...

Below is a stone knife I made. As you can see my wood carving is pretty poor. What I want to make is a knife with a nice modern style varnished wooden handle you find in steel knives. Akin to these http://www.caughtknapping.com/resources/brown%20knife.jpg?timestamp=1288493737607...

Been around here for long enough (6 years, mostly just reading) and always resisted the temptation to show off, but being as others are doing it, I resist no longer. Here's some knapping I did over Christmas and the New Year. Some Brazilian Agate All made from small fragments...

Does anyone know where I can get some asphaltum in the uk suitable for hafting with? Thanks.

Does anyone know anything about featherwork? The native American kind they used on shields and suits ect. How to do it? I've always wanted to try. I've tried searching the internet, loads of galleries and merchadise for sale, but no tutorials. Any help or links would be really useful, thanks.
