Great thread Andy

Next things to start are, when they arrive from Dave Budd, a bushy knife and 2 spoonies to hande with some seasoned yew and also I want to make a folding saw with the yew.

Just need to invent a time machine now to get some extra time to do everything with

Thanks Craeg. Glad you and your daughter enjoy him. At the moment, he is hanging upside down and drying from a dip in boiled linseed oil.

Just finished a rucksack for a member and written an assignment for my OU course so I'm looking around for a project. SWMBO wants a messenger bag made of canvas so I guess I'd better get on with it.

Just finished making a haft for a small double bit, (around 2lb.), making it a short axe or long hatchet at 24 inches. Now to hit it with some snow seal and put an edge on it. (I hope, the wood is an unknown, I think oak, and probably the wrong geometry.) Oh well, it was a learning experiance if it breaks, if it holds that is a plus!

I'm currently working on another two can stoves.
