Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I'm three quarters way to making some ancient egyptian middle kingdom leather armour. It's for a guy who is going to wear it at a museum that is having a King Tut exhibition.
You said your wood carving skills weren't very good Gary...
It looks like they've improved considerably
That's a fine pair of snow goggles you've made yourself 
A few things on the go:
A set of giant knitting needles...for my daughter.
Re-building my website
Making a set of carving tools. I have just finished the first one today, a long handled fishtail flat chisel. The next one, a skew knife should be done tomorrow, and a couple of double edged hook knives should be done sometimes next week.(or maybe the next...)
Making yet another Tarn woodcarver knife, and a sheath.

Still finenessing my warm weather sleeping bag hammock pod. keep getting dead arms when asleep, think it's more donw the the hammock than the bag.
Lets see, today I made a net shuttle, finished off my "woods" tool bag and I rendered a leaky old military canvas into some ground sheets, bags for my fire kit and lengths of material for future projects.
Quiet day...

Working on another bow in my search for local woods suitable for bows. This is a "save" after near ruining it completely during a steam bending session, the padding had a chip of wood in it which dug into the side of the bow so it had to loose about 15lbs Also wasnt happy with this tiller and weight so i have piked it and will re-tiller it later. Main thing is i know its a good bow wood to stand up to all this abuse.

Trying to lay some bricks after my neighbour's stub wall fell down... I'm not a very good builder
Great idea of using the old shears, JohnC - might have to start grinding up my gardening tools!

While trying to avoid doing work-work (writing UCAS references ), i have been playing with making an egyptian style bow drill - hobo style
Top handle is an old kitchen cupboard door knob
main body - a sawn off old bradoll
bottom - small piece of hazel from the garden
It's a bit of a prototype to see if it would work. Guess what? it does - flame on!
Now i'll make a more precise version, minus the wonky, off-center holes
But, for now, back to work-work i go...

Half way through sewing a Merino lined bodywarmer, have a Ventile-ish fabric smock cut out and ready to go and have a canvas pack at the planning stage.
One pair of Courans (shoes) completed, one pair of Viking Turn-shoes awaiting some tools...
Started making Raspberry Vodka and Blackberry wine.
Busy busy busy

Apart from a few knives, and carving a couple of wood signs, I am working on these at the moment:
A small wood burner stove for our Bell tent. So far I managed to find/scrounge the bits necessary. I need to cut the top of the bottle off and weld a top plate to it, but still haven't found the top plate yet. I might have to part with some cash soon...
Also still working on my paracord whip:
This is slow going, as I do it when times allows.
