You cut the bench using a drill?!!! Now that's clever mate, it has to be said. Nice thinking.

Really like that knife you're making from a a cleaver. So wished Ii'd thought of that, I see cleavers all the time at bootfairs here.

haha well I broke my wood saw and needed a bench to finnish the knife on..

Take two simple sticks, one cherry, one sycamore. Add some paracord, a bit of sanding, and some linseed oil.

2 marlin spikes for my hammock suspension.

Overkill - probably.

I made this Kydex sheath for my dads Camillus yesterday. Took me 2 hours.

I voted basketry, because that is what I do most of, and the one I feel I am best at.

but I love working with wood (combines nicely with rattan for some interesting designs, and to get some basketry in).

and just starting out with leather work, which seems to be mildly addictive.

I would have to say Wood carving as the material is free most of the time, but I do dabble with other materials.

prim tech great is the needle bone or horn

 

[Mr Cake]

The larger one with it's own photo is antler. I prefer it for needles - it breaks less readily than bone. The little one is indeed bone. Never made one from horn, maybe I'll give it a try.

Wow all of your projects are amazing!

I generally like to 'use whats available' to me when making crafts. We had an old wooden pallet that was going to be burnt, so I cut off some of the wood that was usable and made these bird houses last week.
They were pretty easy to make, and I cladded the outside of them with twigs and bark from the garden for a more rustic feel.
They arent anything special, but thought I'd share

I love the cladding on those houses! Fancy making a couple of those myself. How did you secure the cladding? I'm thinking of using a hot glue gun but no idea if that would last for long out in the elements.

Love the Kydex sheaths, very impressive indeed guys.

Any hints as to a tutorial/where to start on these? I've got a few items I'd love to make Kydex sheath for. Or at least, have a crack at it!

 

[LuckyDucky]

I just love to see all this great work in here!
Going from knives and axes via woodspirits, bows and pouches to canoes and a yurt..... Amazing!!!

So I just wanted to add my little fiddlings to the list; my machetescabbard and my mocassins!

How did you make these moccasins? Were the materials alot of money?
