    DIY Folding Bucksaw and a DIY Drawknife (experiment)

    Been quite a while since I was here on the forums (life seems to get in the way at times), and I love your thread Ruud. The saw is really nice. Beautiful work. I'm really impressed with the "Drawknife". Might never have thought about that one. I'll have to add that to my little bag of tricks...

    fishing net needles?

    Finally found my original post. Going to try my hand at a couple of others this next coming weeks. Hope that they turn out better, or at least as good as the first one. I'll sure take my time a bit more with the next couple, and work some more on a trap that I'm making, using the needle to guide...

    fishing net needles?

    I started a thread the other day for this video I made, but have'nt seen it it yet. Think the mods have just not seen it yet and allowed it, or it may have not posted thru. Thought I'd add it here since you asked about making one. This is about as simple as it gets. Poor Man's Netting Needle...

    Poor man's netting needle

    Thought that I'd share a little project that I'd been wanting to get to for some time now. It turned out pretty good for what it is, and I am really impressed with how it handled. Poor Man's Netting Needle - YouTube I don't know if you all have these handy little tools over there...

    Just got to thinking...in case you don't know, kuksas are sometimes reffered to as noggins around my little corner of the world. FYI

    some other stuff I do

    NICE ! I really like the noggins with the stag handles. As I go to work this afternoon, I'll be sending out an order for a Frosts Mora Crooked Knife to start doing my own bowls,noggins, and spoons. By the way, I love the Hunter to the left as well...what is the handle made of ?

    My new home made tarp

    Very Nice. I have several yards of some different camo material that I got from my mother some years back, and I have been trying to figure out what to do with some of it. Most of it is the old U.S. Woodland Camo, and not the Rip-Stop Nylon, but a light weave cotton.......still, with a bit of...

    Soda straw transformation

    I've been doing a bit of reading and video watching the past week or so, and I came across this interesting video, and wanted to share it with everyone. This is an impressive bit of re-purposing of a common, everyday item that could be a great addition to your kit. :cool: Hope you all...

    Flint Knapping

    Beautiful work there Paul. Like Bigrich, I go hunting the fields near my home here in the U.S. I'm not an archeologist, or even a former one like him. I just do it for the shear joy of finding something that a man made long, long ago, to feed and put clothing on his family and fellow members of...

    Wicker Fish Trap

    Really like your trap there. I'm starting to gather some river willow to make one myself. Thanks for the pictures, they are a great help. I have a few other sites that have some pictures of similar traps, and between those and yours (which are much better quality and show more detail), I should...

    Hello to all from the U.S.A.

    Just wanted to start by saying hello to everyone out here on the forums. I live over here in the U.S.A., but have akindred spirit with all those who are into bushcraft. I was doing a bit of searching and reading on the subject of weaving fish traps out of willow limbs, and found a great post...
