    The winds of change

    Said it before and I'll say it again. Your stuff speaks to me. Great work
  3. Great effort. I hope that my first attempt at a round box comes out half as good as yours
  4. Because when it comes to tools you will be buying alot!
  5. I love hearing these stories. People with nothing. Yet with everything that matters. My grandfather crossed Canada by train car at age 12. Faught in ww2. Same as all from that generation. Never threw anything out. My dad was the same way. Seemed to be able to make and fix anything. And usually make and fix it out of nothing!.
  6. Always good to hear when someone sticks it to cancer! Nice sheath
  7. Post away! Lots of tool and history bluffs here.
  8. Hey Chief. I've seen your skill set in leather grow leaps and bounds over the years. I have little doubt that you could fix or recreate this and as an engineering exercise I'd say go for it. The other side of course is the legal side of "what if" this generally why people have waivers. Waivers are in my experience. Which is likely more experience than most (I work and teach and train in extremely high risk areas where people get hurt or worse on an almost daily basis) is that waivers are not worth the paper they are written on as waivers are built in the premise that one has the knowledge training and experience on the thing being signed off on! And that all reasonable precautions have been taken. In short it's often fairly easy to prove negligence which voids the waiver. In the safety business there is a reason my hard hats and body armour and harness get changed out every 5 years...even when it's not needed to do so. As I said I believe you have the skills to do this and should take it on as an exercise.
