I may not answer too fast I had to take my wife to hospital last night, hopefully getting her out tomorrow and then it is the Moot
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope she is ok. I'll give you a message later but do not worry about responding right away, there is no rush.

Yeah- OK ...so I am retired and no longer an Iron Age Warrior.... but I may end up doing a bit of volunteering at Castell Henllys ... so I made a new pair of Iron Age trousers ...
Nettle fiber Linen fabric, wool sewing, drawcords and ankle ties ... and if I have to go to hospital at any point I now have some PJs to wear!

With those tassels at the bottom I thought you’d taken up morris dancing.
Nice job though John

Antler ring
A friend wanted an antler ring for her fella's birthday ... so I made one for her - but left the scrimshaw work to her!

Project 90
Camp boots
These were made as a test for an idea I had ... I used cheap upholstery leather ("Urban Buffalo") from an old sofa, so as not to waste expensive leather ... but it did not mould as well as I hoped. The pattern needs a few tweeks but overall I am happy enough with the boots which will only be worn on soft surfaces as the sole (two layers thick) is not going to be up to hard surface/road/rock use.
The boots were glued and hand sewn with artificial sinew and have a removable veg tan leather insole and closed cell foam tongue padding.
Not the best fit ever - a bit long in the toe, slightly bulky seams but OK as a mock up ... but I doubt I will get around to making a pair in good leather until these have worn out!

Project 91
Kitchen Kaddy
Made from scraps from other projects, a simple hanging organizer to keep all those small bits handy (rather than their migrating to the bottom of the wannigan or kitbag) on longer fixed camps.
