As some of you may have read, the other day my old GB small forest axe sheath finally broke and I was searching for a replacement. Well after finding a maker on ebay and asking here if anyone had dealt with the maker and his wares I discovered the maker was infact a member here, Angst! After a...

I want to make a leather possibles pouch. I have some leather, an awl, a fork for marking, a craft knife, needles, thread, beeswax and some dye. If anybody could give me any pointers in the direction of stitching marking our designs and other things that i need to know. I dont want to spend a...

Hi everybody, I have been lurking on this forum for quite a while now, and i must say it's inspiring, especially the diy-section. So it's time for some positive payback time. I'm interested in experimentel archeolegy and reenactment, concentrated on mostly iron-age and early medieval times...

Please excuse the off topic nature of this posting but it has traditional craft elements within so perhaps you'll forgive this indulgence. Besides we've got no one else to show it to, except our wives etc and you lot are an appreciative bunch. :lmao: Earlier in the year my best mate Paul laid...

I've seen coffee pouched made out of naturally tanned reindeer leather where the wood based tanning agent imparts its water absorbing properties onto the leather. Well that's the blurb you see about it but how does it all work and does it really work? To my mind these are leather, drawstring...

I can't afford to ship my leather with me when I move to Australia later in the year so I'd like to offer it here. It's mostly chrometan with a few bits of veg in there, lots of different colours and thicknesses, sizes from small offcuts to quite large hide sections (especially the black). I...

My old Argentinian leather goucho hat isn't repelling water like it used to. It holds it off for a bit before it eventually soaks into the leather leaving a mark - until it thoroughly dries out. I've bought some Nikwax Waterproofing Wax Cream after looking through this forum. Can't find any...

Well its been a long time since I have been on this forum but I am back....ish so first things first I hope all is well with everyone. I have fairly recently become more involved with a Viking reenactment organisation and as such have had to make various things (my clothing for a start) and...

Have made a few sheaths recently and have a couple of questions to help me along the learning curve. 1) Does/can artificial sinew dye ok i.e match the leather once treated? 2) I've dyed the inside of a few sheaths to match the outer but have dye rubbing off on some of the wooden handles...

Hi, I'm new to posting but have been an avid reader of the first rate knowledge contained on this site for a few years now. I'm young (A whipper snapper at 20) but I try to take a mature approach to my backpacking and bush-craft. I love gear that's not showy but versatile, beautiful in is...

I was looking at, maybe £100 for no holes ( unless wanted leg skin). I thought that was afair price. £150 for skin? Doubt it, perhaps later if I get good intrest and a perfect method... that'll be no easy feat though...

as the title; I thought I'd have a go at making some leather straps for lashing stuff onto thwarts or what have you and came up with these: Box not included They are made from 3.5mm veg tanned leather, dyed and then treated with neats foot oil, to keep them both supple and water...
