those are nice indeed!!

very cool and just in time for holloweenie.

thank you Bert

thank you very much . nope it doesn't come up on my posts at all.

lol no biggie friend i will if i can delete it. my edit button has been gone for some time. I thought your message was good.

Hey Tug do you take the same precautions with buying processed foods or even your water? I ask because there are more dangerous chemicals being introduced into our bodies than just from breathing. Read an msds for fluoride for example, and as its put into every water supply its in every processed food and beverage and we don't have any idea how much we consume. Its important for sure to be proactive and trust no one. Just for fun sometime read the ingredients on a package of processed health food. Recently, epidemiological studies have suggested that fluoride is a human developmental neurotoxicant that reduces measures of intelligence in children, placing it into the same category as toxic metals (lead, methylmercury, arsenic) and polychlorinated biphenyls.

i cant wait to tell you the truth I need some quiet time under the stars, a nice hot fire and a cold beer all at the same time. I made up some hunting gear to show off while visiting friends up there, we call it camp hopping, stop by and have a beer and BS a bit. Some of them i only see out there once a year lol but its a lot of fun. My winter chores are starting, fix some storm windows till in all the rabbit fertilizer, get the vehicles ready and fix up the green house roof. Jeez maybe I'll just stay in the mountains lol.

thank you Pastor.

it is pinned to the pommel like the newer kabars are constructed. i should have peened it, would have been easier lol. i shimmed it up about half a hole off so the pommel would be forced down and tight against the handle.

thank you! the stacked handle was easier than i thought, punched and fitted them to the tang then glued each layer with contact cement, after it dried i took them off soaked em and put them in a vice between two pieces of oak, cinched em down let them rest cinched em down again until they wouldn't cinch no more lol. let them dry over night and they were harder than rock lol. cleaned out the tang hole and stuck them on. Thanks Mike no I should have, its a full through tang its 5/8"th wide 3/16"th thick, made just like a ka bar lol 1095 steel 6"blade. drop point fighter.

lol sooner or later you will need them all. the bevellers for example are used for floral and figure carving. What i did at first is figure out a design i wanted to try then buy the tools for it. Most patterns will tell you what tools are needed then as you try more designs you acquire the correct tools and also learn their uses as you go.

thanks man it took some brain work for sure. In ww1 The US army rucksacks were built similar that is where i got my idea.

thanks nope thats a whole new knife.

a couple more and my first sheath with contents.

I started working on this sheath design months ago, finally got time to make a knife for it. Stacked leather handles, if you ever try them dont watch you tube vids, i looked at a few and they are mostly regurgitated forged in fires idea of handle and knifemaking which is far from good. The sheath is 10 oz back , 6/7 front and the wings and flaps are 3/4 oz. Its made to hold survival gear or whatever you feelt he need to carry. I had a thread on the idea months ago and this is much better looking lol.

i dont know but it sure looks good, that moon is really cool .

no to much dry rot in places you cant see, imo your taking your safety as well as the horses in your hands. I would clean it up a bit get an accurate assessment of its collectability or worth then either oil it up a bit and make it a personal show piece or sell it to some cowboy bar as a wall hanger. Old uncared for saddles are very plentiful.

858 is the smallest mulefoot 430 small size beveler 894 crafttool beveler 200 medium size 203 next smallest 706 small veiner 631 small seeder 102 ? 104 small backgrounder 821 only one of that type veiner 406 smallest veiner of type 746 crafttool veiner looks about medium size best i could do looks like you have a smattering of tools mostly smaller sizes and some older craft tool that weren't in my catalog.

great looking wallet and nothing at all wrong with simple. I use the roon a lot even on wood lol.

probably get in trouble with the copy right police. way cool!! used to love batman especially when climbing up the skyscrapers never knew who would pop out of the window.

Tandy usually made 3 sizes of most of them or there a bouts if you print the numbers then i can tell you what size you have. or you can go to their site and find out. I ma lucky enough to have kept my old Tandy catalog with life-size pictures of each lol.

What weight of leather are you thinking?? You can preform the heel then tool it if you can find something hard enough and close to the curve to pound against. at least a few stitches on the sides and back and glue, you don't want a malfunction at the wrong time.

very cool indeed i helped a friend sew my 18' Sioux lodge, teepee, because it is a two man job on a table. i can understand it is massive work on a machine. smart thinking.

holy cow thats alot of stitching!! But it was worth it IMO beautiful job, just enough tooling.

LOL me too who said "dreams are like clouds floating through a sky blue mind". ?
