Not bushcraft but definitely traditional !

[Gary Elson]

Hi All
Whilst I realise this is nowt to do with Bushcraft and this maybe the wrong bit of the forum (mods please move or even delete) I’ve not been carving much recently BUT this is what we did this summer!!
Went of to Bideford Devon where me and the wife engaged on a stained glass window course with Robert Patterson (an excellent fellow)
Having made the glass panels I’ve then made two oak doors and fitted them in our serving hatch thus getting the benefit of our endeavours
Hope this is ok
Any way back to carving soon
Gary

They are very nice, lovely work. Did you make a panel each?

Hi
We certainly did we had no experience but this is what we created in a day

I've always believed that all experience working with wood is valuable for bushcraft. Familiarity.
I need a tent with those glass panels for windows! They are very well crafted.

Hi Robson
Your absolutely right
At college we talk about transferable skills and kinetic learning styles
Whichever way you hang it up it’s getting your hands and eyes to create what your brain (and your emotions) envisage
This is was the first technical skill my wife has attempted and she is thrilled with her result , quite rightly, and as with creating anything the sense of achievement is irreplaceable and what some of us live for! That feeling of creation is so positive

Lovely work that. Both glass and wood.

I have worked with glass since I could see over a glaziers bench. Not so much these days but its amazing stuff.
