Love it mate, looks really tidy.

Does it pack down well so you can bring it to the next meet?

Also I assume you "acquired" the ammo box? Ive been after one for ages but all the shops charge crazy prices around here

 

[lannyman8]

no not really the ammo box stays as it is, and the gas bottle on top of that, it is light though and can be moved very easy, the anvil however is about 50-60 kg so not so easy but could be done......

i have a small ammo box you can have for nout if you want 1, not very big but would make a good little stove for the tent etc.....

pics 8-9 chisel

 

[lannyman8]

oooooooohhh, set of 4 for £4.99 from Yorkshire Traiding (no links to the shop or nout) they are low cost steel for the moment.........lol

they should also stand up to a good beating as the steel will have some silicon in the mix.........

 

[cletus]

That is great mate you will be knocking damascus out for fun now.

 

[addo]

That looks great, any more info on how you made it or how it works ?
Good work on the blades and beating on a bevel.
