I had some offcuts of leather and some bits of oak kicking about and decided to find a use for them.
First up was a couple of strops for my carving knives, one for my Mora spoon knife which meant a first go at saddle stitching (boy is that hard on the fingers!) and a flat one for the straight blades. I Also made a case for the flat one so it can go in my pack without smearing compound everywhere.
I also came up with a way to carry my tarp poles.
Using the molle on the Bergan
or Molle and an ice axe loop
My hole punch was a tad undersized for the pole spikes so I made four small slits in them to ease them in but they still grip quite nicely.
( a bit like those rubber tea towel holders)
I used some leftover press studs and a couple of rivets from when I made my hatchet mask.
Ta for looking in, Rob.

It really looks like a dumbed down version of Picassa and much less user friendly and will probably void every photo I have ever posted to any site.
