more weekend work

[Corso]

Another quiet weekend sees me in the workshop fiddling

have another 5 items on my to make list almost done

first is a canvas storage pouch with antler toggle - just needs waxing up which I'll try and get done next weekend

finally found a suitable piece of antler (thanks to Angst) for my bow drill socket

finished a small pocket handline, added an antler toggle for a small leather pouch I use to carry my beverage packets and added to a recent antler handled firesteel

Some smashing stuff there! Great work!

Some nice looking pieces there Corso. You have some very good skills. I also at the weekend inserted a knife sharpening steel into some deer antler. It's a lot easier to grip now as the wooden handle that came with it was way too small. It's good to change things and put your own touch on it.

 

[Corso]

now that sounds like a good idea

might need to source a ceramic sharpening rod

 

[Angst]

hi...nicely done...glad i could help out m8,

Bit of a multi-tool really. Knife sharpener, gives off a really hot spark when struck with a flint and antler hammer.

[Corso]

[atlatlman]

I'll give to 8/10

Not bad going then.
I did wonder about the zippo following the trench lighter.
I have a trench lighter but i don't rate it..currently waiting to find out if I have won a bid on a tommy lighter....

Give it a few days I'll have some pics of my rejigged kit set up to share

 

[Corso]

realy? mine works like a charm - bought another to store as they are not always easy to find - needed a bit of a tinker to get it running smooth and theres a knack to changing the internals - added a bit more material to sock up more of the fluid - has a shelf lfe of about 3 months - not as long as the brass spy capsule on my keys but thats my backups backup

 

[Man of Tanith]

I keep loosing the spring loaded bit that holds the flint in.
but I use it as a regular lighter for my pipe/cigarettes a sheath would hold it well for only lighting fires/stoves

 

[Corso]

the spring is rather strong - I was tempted to trim it a bit but in the end just used a slightly smaller flint

thought it would be worth a further update...

contents of the canteen pouch which I knocked up out of a M56 canteen pouch and a couple of surplus pouches and a strap from a rather beat up finnish GM bag

all the contents fits rather snugly

 

[Man of Tanith]

Oooh another round to play.
Us army canteen.
Brew bag.
Lid
us metal mug.
Burner unit.
Twine.
not sure on the four tins contents
light?

Edit.
is it two tins? One for sewing kit and one for repairs? Or accessories for hobo reel?
