Bushmoot projects.

[Wayland]

Anyone got a project they are planning to take with them to the Moot?

I'll probably be doing some leatherwork as usual, I need a new pair of Viking shoes and a bag for my Roman folding skillet, so that will probably keep me fairly busy.

I don't often get this much time at a static camp so it's a chance to look at some longer projects too.

Just wondered if anyone else had any plans.

 

[DavidJT]

No projects planned other than to to try and learn as much as I can.

 

[John Fenna]

My plans include watching the experts at work (I spent most of last years Moot annoying Dave Budd...but he got an interview in one of the mags I write for out of it when I went down to see him later in the year ) and seeing what I can learn on the various workshops available.
It is not often I get to pick so many expert brains!
I also hope to socialise with friends old and new, sell some of my makings and surplus bits, get a tan and live the life for a few days!

My plans include ........, get a tan!

John - are we destined for the same place?

My plans could include doing a knot workshop and learning how to throw my cast net which I hope to finish sometime soon (I am aware of the legal situation, I just want to learn how to perform the action).

Other stuff is bound to come up so I'll remain flexible for now!

OK - get turned to rust...the colour is the same...and I am as hard as iron....

 

[Wayland]

Just remembered I might be making some charcoal for my craft sessions too.

 

[Ogri the trog]

I'm up for running a carving workshop, for simple things like three piece pot hangers etc.

What I'd like to to have someone teach me how to carve Woodspirirts

That sound good to me, it's the simple practical stuff like that, that I would like to be better at making.

I could possibly do a little bit about kolrosing too.

 

[jungle_re]

Sadly im going to be in the North Sea so what i was planning for what would have been my first has had to be curtailed till the wilderness gathering and next years moot. Was going to bring along my compass and map collection the pilots astro compass and the OSS sun compass(both WW2) and various images maps and fabric maps always attract some intrest.

 

[Wayland]

Hope you're not in there for too long. I've heard it gets a bit cold.

 

[jungle_re]

A month or so. Should be alright though got a job in Saudi penciled in for October.
Has there ever been disscussion of a winter moot?

 

[Wayland]

We had one a while back, don't know if it'll happen again though.

 

[Chris the Cat]

Meet some of the folk I have been talking to on BcUK and say hello properly!
I have a look at some blanket cloaks, maybe bring a blanket and try to make on!

Both of those things I'd like to learn.

toddy is running a cloak making work shop so if you get your self long you could learn how to do it all from scratch

Do you think there'd be any interest in folks learning how to carve netting needles?

I enjoy carving them and would be happy to show folks how to do them to anyone interested.

 

[Wayland]

OK, Just to confirm I should be running a simple Kolrosing workshop at my bivi at some point over the week, I'll work out timing when I can see what else is going on.

I'm buying in some decent craft knives for the job and we'll probably do something simple like a spatula, so I should be able to work with ten or so people.

Mesquite has already bags'd a place and we'll sort other spots out at the moot.

Only because you told me about it in PM.

I'm sure there would be!
I've been making a cast net so perhaps there could be the whole process, from carving the needle to making the net!
Mention it at one of the morning meetings and we'll see how to fit it in!

Cheers

I'll add to that and say great idea, i think there's going to be a few that would like to do that. Are you any good at net making with them? Although Ed might do that for us
