  1. Beautiful work!!!! 4th day of bow season here man i wish i were out sneakin around.
  2. thank you, i used a few different stohlman patterns and kind of merged them into one that would fit each sheath with the help of a lightboard. My chisels are very cheap Chinese made that were given to me as a gift. I have been trying to watch and straighten them as i use them but missed once lol. They are just junk soft metal. Thanks guys my tooling is getting a bit better i think anyways.
  3. try applying your shene with an air brush in light multiple applications so you don't get puddling. i had that same problem with the dyes moving with the shene using brushes. beautiful work!!!!
  4. Thanks, i have one more to make for my double bit axe also. thank you.
  5. air locks are to keep wild yeasts out of your wine during fermentation. neither wild yeast or air has any effect on roon. its vinegar, its already been fermented, and iron the process builds some gas so just leave the lid loose.
  6. I figured it was time to make sheaths for a couple of my hawks, getting ready for the hunting season. Tried to make them kinda old looking to go with my Black powder possibles. Note the wonky stitches on the one, that comes from less than good chisels tines bent and i didn't notice. Buy good chisels!!! BTW the background is my sons first endeavor at making buckskin, very proud of his effort it isn't an easy job.
  7. no! just use leather there is no benefit to overthinking this. if you glue and hammer your welts then there ill be no seam for the blade to find. useing plastic wont guarantee this.
  8. You are way overthinking this. Build a knife roll with individual pockets and be done with it. Maybe make it so you can hang it up, eyes on the top at each end. The handles are no bigger than any other knives so not any more of a problem. I have a few tool rolls, my chisels for example have round handles and pose no problem. Shape the sheaths so they resemble the blades for easy identification.
  9. most of Europe was reconstructed back in the 40s 50s our power lines were still intact so they are still here.
  10. excellent would make an awesome scrimshaw tool also.
  11. a snap or retention method is part of the overall design and should be given as much consideration as any other part of your project I couldn't give an answer without knowing what the sheath will look like. I use these. from weaver for alot of my work. for my sheathes that are for black powder or more primitive type look i use an antler button and leather cord. Other sheathes i make i use nothing as the sheath holds the knife tightly enough. one thing to get right is the strap and snap should go together so that the snap wont be pulled open while walking through the brush, example, the picture below the side of the strap with the watch hand on it should face forward so the strap isn't caught by brush and pulled open.
  12. Make sure they or you or whomever beds the new line and compacts it also like Frodo said or the problem will be dug back up in a few years. Most good knowledgeable plumbers will do this some just throw the pipe in the hole. I hate sewer lines and septic systems!
  13. LOL you are right there i gave way to much credit
  14. its the massive inflation brought on by really poor government management of a fake crisis.
  15. lol! Bug a salt rocks! i now have a nice mostly unused "handmade" leather fly swatter.
  16. Seal skins or whale i've read are what was used, how they were processed it to be water proof is the real question. Regular veg tanned or any modern methods of tanning leather wouldn't be something i would put between myself and possible hypothermia or death it is in no way waterproof enough. I love to help folks but this is to dangerous for me to help with sorry i wouldn't recommend trying it with leather and certainly not pine pitch i would recommend much more research.
  17. Tandy has a free e library that you can download alot of Stohlman books. About a year ago they had most of them but have changed it up a bit. I downloaded everything back then and yes its my goto library lol. i don't think there is a question i have had about leather i couldn't find the answer in his stuff.
  18. I don't have a pattern but i love to fly fish! But there is plenty of info to make it in Stohlmans art of making cases#1 i didn't look in books 2 or 3. you can find them in Tandys e library i think they are still free to download. in #1 there is a fly rod case and a fly book i know of.
  19. i meant more of the doggy stuff i have pockets for my stuff lol. Also i dont train with treats i use the methods taught by Tom Davis an exceptional young man IMO. I raise American Bullies. There are no Poopy pick up laws here just a friendly little town but my dogs do thier doody in my yard. I could better envision your problem with a picture and maybe help some way.
  20. i did find in one of my old tandy books,2005, a g605/6605 it is 1 cm square if the picture is correct size, they are supposed to be and the ones i have bought are right on with the pictures. you may have to buy an older stamp to get the right one. i do notice however the tandy has 7 lines of dots while yours has six.
  21. dunno if he was right but your work is awesome he should be pleased.
