Latest..knife sheaths +dc3/4 holders, bracelets, outdoor axe mask and my first blade!

[Angst]

Hi...just today finished off these sheaths. Have been messing around with mixing dyes quite a bit recently so thought i'd colour these a bit differently...2 are slightly different and have dc3 whetstone holders, the mahogany one caters for a dc4. made a few huge bracelets too and also my first gb outdoor axe masks and thanks to man of tanith for lending me his prized possession enabling me to do them...and i've finally taken the plunge and started work on my first blade...thanks to hillbill for not only his guidance but for also letting me use his lovely pnk-1 blade for inspiration (they are lovely little neckers...buy buy buy!) and also to richardw for sending me my first bit of 01 which i used for this. its about 18cm long, 3cm wide, 4mm thick, freehand scandi attempt and is yet to be heat treated and neatened up with some filework. enjoy!

saw these on FB very nice work bud. i have to ask how are the dc3 pouches secured? I can see them being rivetted on with if it was held upside down with anvil inside the pouch if that makes sense. as they would be a right pain to stitch on like that!

Map gas gets way too hot, Rach used to use it, to melt glass for bead making. Its expensive too when compared to propane. You don't need that mate.

Map gas's burning temp is 2925c, its used for welding and brazing things it can melt steel at that temp.. Propane burns at nearly a 1000c less than that. You only need to get the steel to 850c max.
