Current projects

[Corso]

All these are still a bit WIP but as I'm done for the day I thought I'd share

The old hick still needs a convex edge and i'm planning to straighten and square off the spine before i sort a sheath for it.

The steels are handled in Antler and Bamboo

The bags a reconditioned Czech GM bag that had some damage to it and the folding Foraging/dump pouch is a trial run before I use some decent leather

So what are you currently making?

 

[Man of Tanith]

those all look good mate.
be interestednin pics of the folding dump bag/foraging bag open.

currently I'm working on a bottle carrier for a mate and a belt repair for my old man

That's all looking great mate! I've just made a pitch stick with pine resin, charcoal and beeswax- worked a treat! I've also just managed to get a rhythm going on the bow drill ( all be it a kit I bought when I was about 11 ) no ember yet but I can get a good rhythm going-I'm progressing down the difficult road- then I'm going to build my own. Liking the thread!

 

[Mesquite]

Nice work there

 

[ozzy1977]

I like the idea of the dump bag, wasn't there a thread on here last year about them?

 

[Albus Culter]

Nice work.

Leather moleskine cover at the moment. Still got my BCUK patch to sew on my pack. Axe to re-helve and make a mask for. And loads of other stuff

I believe I first saw it on BCUSA - mine is smaller (it'll carry a small water bottle) and much rougher round the edges


here it is http://bushcraftusa.com/forum/showthread.php/94805-Leather-and-Canvas-Foragers-Pouch

now a bow drill set is on my to do list

 

[Man of Tanith]

oooh I forgot the bcuk patches, the ongoing modifications to a swedish snow smock, a couple of sheath ideas, my first belt pouch and a complete overhaul of my kit packing list etc

 

[Macaroon]

Looking good, all of it, but those fold-up dump pouches are great; I made a prototype from some polycotton years ago and it worked so well that I still use it daily - no need for anything better for collecting tinder and gasifier fuel, and it just disappears when you don't need it..............Perfect bit of kit, eh?

[Dreadhead]

Good stuff mate .

I'm working on a canvas case for a Bob Dustrude bow saw. Think I over did the weight of canvas though, hope the sewing machine can handle it .

That was my threas, Ozzy. Now that I have maker's status (finally) I have four of the Mk II version almost finished on my work bench. I took everyone's advice on board and made some mods. Since I hand stitch everything and hate exposed seams, they take a little while to complete.

and I shall wait for the sales thread eagerly

 

[Hibrion]

Thanks, mate.

Sorry for the kinda thread hijack, Corso. I like the look of that old hickory there. Spent almost ten years of my life working as a butcher and have always wanted to pick up one of those for a few mods, since our US cousins rave so much about the. But you don't see them over here.

 

[Man of Tanith]

you can buy the old hickory through amazon


(dont ask how i know this )

 

[Hibrion]

I've seen them for sale, but the postage kinda makes a cheap knife an expensive one by the time you get it

 

[Corso]

and no worries on the thread hijack mines very rough and ready and not up to the standard of selling I look forward to seeing your work.
