Mods please move/delete if in wrong place. Found old Dawes galaxy bike in trash a few weeks back. After some love and lots of work. It is now a single speed commuter, changed axle's and lots of bearings but it rides beautifully. Tried to keep as many as original parts as I could...

It isn't easy to find good wood here for carving at the most part because the woods that grow in our climate are so dense and hard that one would need power tools to work with them. This has created a situation where hardly do I use any wood from the nature here. Most of my wood comes from...

Years ago I purchased two knives off the bay. When the knives arrived I had noticed that they had no makers mark but resembled a Mora knife (in particular the 106 version but longer ) One knife was given away (which I regret) and the other had stayed part of my collection. Every time I grab it...

After a first attempt at re handling a kent pattern axe given to me as a gift from a dear friend, I figured I would give it another try. Here it is in an earlier stage(you can see my first attempt). While I was at it I figured I would make some other stuff as well, Hope to load...

I love my opinels and i hope they don't get offended as I write this. There is no secret that spyderco manufactures some very high Quality made knives, probably the best in the world of factory knives. I myself have always liked to have an Opinel in my pocket, easy to use not tactical look...

Does any one own one of these ? Can you post a pic in hand ? Any feedback as a general purpose carving hatchet ? I'm really interested in knowing if the carved handle is worth the diff in price when compared to wildlife hatchet, essentially the same Axe ??? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Because for the most of us the question of the best tool for the job has turned into somewhat philosophical i will move away from it as much as i can, The knife i am speaking of is a tool i am proud to wear on my belt and use when needed. In this fun game of bushcraft one can try to go into the...

Once a week or once every two weeks a question regarding knives is brought up here, im greatfull to have this place to share knowledge but most of all to receive wisdom from others. My personal evolution of bushcraft and my approach has changed over the years as i have found things to be more...

As promised I ordered another knife from fgyt, after using this knife with a "flandi" grind I wanted to try the same with a flat ground knife. So I slapped some red oak scales on this is what ive come up with As i have noted in the past some of the tests I like to run with a new...

It has been a while since I have posted anything on BCUK, a quick update about me and my whereabouts- working now as a river guide for a dude ranch in Wyoming A while ago I posted questions here about the DJP knife by Duncan out of Dorset woodland blades (known as fgyt) at the time it seemed...

Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject, I do not completely understand what maya sticks are. I was taught at a younger age about pine roots dried and then used for fires in the winter and in wet grounds. The other day i was out and about and found some nice resinous pine root...

Like many carvers i tend to look for the best tools and always seek for that one that will do exactly what my hand wants it to do. You can see an older thread ive done that is quite similar to this one- http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75145&highlight= A small disclaimer- I...
