Your favorite 'Makers Market' purchase?

[Dave]

We've got some very talented craftsmen/woman, artisans, in the Makers Market.

Whats your favorite item you've had made by one of the BCUK Makers?

[Could be an axe, knife, leather belt, tarp, grill, anything really]

I really like this possibles pouch that Richard, Black Sheep made for me recently;

allow me to wait a few days and I will have it (Hamish Odinsons bracers)

Get a photo up, when you get it.

Mighty Fine work. Anyone else got any of our makers work they think deserves to be celebrated?

[Man of Tanith]

Oh so many to choose from.....

currently its my two dogs boreal shirt and m.o.r.a by hillbill.
but I also have some lovley leatherwork by Angst and G4GHB.
and some great canvas stuff from hibrion and Bilmop5

I dread to think how much I've spent

This is a very difficult one, like when they ask you on Desert Island Discs which of your ten records would you save if you could only have one? But a month or so ago I took delivery of a Hillbill "Eagle", and it's come immediately to be the knife I reach for every time. One of those things you sometimes get and are then flummoxed as to how you ever made do without it

Review to come in the next few days, but here she is:

It's got to be my HillBill Mora:

Lance Ockenden Light Bushcrafter



Sold it when I was hard up and regretted it ever since

I've had some superb kit from the makers over the years, leatherwork from Luckylee, knives and more leatherwork from Dougster, stoves from barethrills etc etc

 

[sunndog]

Not strictly off the makers market, but from a maker has got to be my mark hill eagle knife






Actually bought off the market Is my bilmo axe and saw case

Some stunning things to salivate over in this thread, but that knife does get the old amygdala twitching in pleasurable ways. I can see why you're gutted about selling it.

Another vote for Bilmo, this time for a bushshirt that I got from him, albeit in a Christmas brantub. I wear it often and it is superb.

Not sure if I have a picture. I will have a look.

Edit: Found one, though not great. being worn under a jacket here. A go-to piece of kit for me when warmth is needed.

I dint realise mr bilmo did shirts as well.....I bet he makes em sturdy

Ekkk, there's something 'orrible sticking out the top of that shirt! Oh sorry it's yerself! Only kidding, you do look comfy in that picture, looks like it was a day of cloud bursting!

You are right about the something horrible, but the wife likes it so I keep it.

Pic was a test shot for the hammock chair, hence me looking posed.

 

[HillBill]

Its nice to see a bit of my work on here... cheers guys

Mac, look forward to hearing your opinions on the Eagle mate.

This year its been a Bilmo Bandanna - superb, functional man sized thing. Not some silly flimsy small cotton hanky, but a UV protecting metre wide, really functional item.

I haven't got a HIllBill knife so can't join that club

Thank you for your comments, gentlemen. I appreciate them a great deal.
