Try this guy , cheap and he has horn in various sizes, i have had a number of horns from him and they have always been very good and postage is cheap. http://www.satcure.co.uk/sticks/diylist.htm Hope this helps Michael

The only problem you will get is in Scotland in the summer with the midgies i have been driven out by them in my Kifaru teepee once already and now only use it in the winter :lmao: Michael

Hi Guys Thanks very much for all the suggestions there are alot there that look promising, i hadnt thought on asking Yurt makers who they use but that might be worth a try. Yes Abbe they usually use felt but i think that might cost quite a bit and i have heard that you can use blanks to...

HI Does anyone know where i can get a large quantity of cotton canvas suitable for making a yurt, it is going to be either 10 or 12ft diameter so i am guessing at between 20 and 30 sq m. Something fairly cheap would be good, i have been looking at ex army shelters but havent found anything...

John Sorry my comments and experience were aimed at the originator of the thread asking for people with experience of Kifaru teepees and not at your unfortunate experience with them. :) I maybe should have made that clearer Michael

I have a 4 man kifaru teepee with medium stove which I bought last year and have used it in Scotland and Norway. It is an excellent tent, without a doubt the best I have used in the winter, not so good in the summer with the Scottish midgies but I am making some modifications to it to improve...

I would say go for it and make your own but then i noticed you live in the US and dont have the worry or expense of postage and import duty so maybe buying is a better option. I have heard of the new arctic stove and was wondering how it would perform. The Kifaru stoves are definetly limited in...

No Problem i am going to email the company on monday, i weighed my chimney and it comes in at just over 500 grams so it is looking like it will make at the most 3 chimneys but this of course depends on the lengths needed. Which would make it £50 a chimney which isnt bad or £58.75 if the VAT...

I got a quote from one of the companies for the stainless foil. The size required for a 3 1/2" pipe are 360mm wide x however long you want it, i asked for a 2 meter length but they seem to have quoted me for a weight of 2kg now i dont know long that is i would have to work it out. The quote...

Hi Yes those companies both look like they can supply the steel, I was trying local suppliers but it looks like it might be better going national ........ i will measure my chinmey up and send off the sizes and see what they come back with for the cost. Other than the steel, the chimney is...

Something i did note about the shipping costs for a stove from the US was how much more than the prices quoted on the USPS website they were charging. The charge quoted on the USPS website for a 15 pound stove to the UK was something like $70, yet every company i emailed quoted over $120, i dont...

I recently emailed Kifaru about getting a longer chimney and they quoted me $90 including shipping for i think it was around 81" long. I thought that was very good. You would still have to pay import tax which would only be on $70 for the chimney so shouldnt cost that much. I have been looking...

Hi The chimney steel is alot thinner than that, just measured mine and it is 0.1mm. I recon a steel supplier should be able to get it, i am going to try a local supplier and see what they say as i quite fancy making up a longer chimney. I will let you know how i get on. Michael

Hi I recently put up a thread about a stove i made myself having already bought a kifaru stove and realising its limitations with burn times. I also emailed the US about having a stove sent over and i got a reply from one shop saying that they were too busy with the start of the hunting...

I just used a piece of stainless steel i had left over, 1.2mm thick and seems to do the job ok. Michael

I think i have solved the problem with the door warping during use, i have fitted a heat sheild to the back of the door(side next to the fire) this is fitted loosly on 3 bolts to allow for expansion without stressing the door. On the initial test it seems to work ok but i didnt have the chimney...

Thanks for the tip on the hosting i hadnt noticed a problem until earlier on today when i couldnt see the picture on the thread :rolleyes: i will get that sorted out. The horn and imitation ivory is fairly easy to polish just go down through the grades of wet and dry until you are on 1200...

Sorry i just have a cheap digi camera that was the best it could do :(

Just finished off my latest knife, i have been saving this piece of sallow root for a special occasion and i thought it was about time i turned it into a knife handle. I used buffallo horn, nickel silver and imitation ivory which is made from plastic but works and looks amazingly like ivory, it...
