    New Movie The Revenant?

    In The Revenant we learn that fur trappers were unwashed, dirty, ignorant, foul-mouthed and engaged in hard, unrelenting, unglamorous labor while stripping the West of its fur-bearing animals. In their free time they screwed around with depressed, alcoholic Indian whores in filthy, dismal...

    Bag Knife Project - Tang Too Short?

    Why not make it a folder? And as a guy who has forged many a blades himself, I have corrected more than a few "whoops" moments after heat treat by wrapping the blade in a wet rag and heating the tang with a torch.... Just sayin'

    Showing off my new ensemble

    Greetings! Yep! Just showing off my newly reworked threads to those who actually understand why I would be enthusiastic about clothes that went out of style over 250 years ago. It's a good thing that I don't wear this stuff every day. The ladies simply would not be able to handle my levels of...

    Rope!

    Hey guys! I started this thread a WHILE ago, completely dropped the ball and left many of you with unanswered questions.... Seriously though, I've had quite a bit on my plate recently! My original thought was to acquire some salvaged spur gears and assemble something PC for the 17th/18thc. or...

    Rope!

    Hello everyone. I've always had a hard time finding good rope and smaller fibrous cordage to use on various projects. All the stores seem to sell the same coarse sisal, cotton, and synthetics. All of it is either too thick, too stiff or simply has the wrong look altogether. Some months ago I...

    A different kind of knife

    Hey all I agree that this knife (Head or round knife)looks vaguely similar to an ulu, but is not the same. It's funny to imagine a sporran maker in 1950's Scotland using an ulu! The main difference I notice is that an ulu has a handle that runs parallel to the edge while a head/round knife...

    A different kind of knife

    After seeing a weird knife like this in an old sporran making video,I decided that I "need" one of my own to use for a sword scabbard project. http://ssa.nls.uk/film.cfm?fid=0958&fb_source=message (skip ahead to :48 to see the knife in use) I saw one for sale in the local leather store which...

    Finally - Treasure Island done correctly

    YEP! I remember when it first came out when I was 11 or 12. I recorded it and watched it a few thousand times until the VHS tape was worn out. It's the only movie I remember where they fire a swivel gun from the hip with dramatic results... Watch for it!

    First post, first horn

    Hey there First off, the plug piece is excessively large. You could use a piece half it's current height, and still have enough wood to do the job. Roughness on the inside of your horn very well could be causing the leak. Maple is hard and doesn't compress or conform as easily to the horn's...

    ecently completed horn/bag/knife set-Opinions please

    Hello again First of all, thanks to all of you who shared your ideas and made meaningful compliments. It may not seem like much to you guys, but is extremely helpful for somebody trying to make adequate gear out of not so accurate materials. Thanks for that everyone. The threads! I only saw...

    looking for a knife

    Hello I read your post and remembered a half-completed knife that might be just what you're looking for. I forged this blade out of 5160 spring steel and used Ebony wood for the handle slabs. About half the work is completed, so there's still plenty of room for you to change things for...

    First post, first horn

    Hey there! The quality of your work is obvious. I can tell that you really thought this project out and took the time needed to produce what turned out to be a really nice horn. Keep it up and you'll gradually make a lot of top notch gear for your kit. As for base plugs, you might try a 50/50...

    ecently completed horn/bag/knife set-Opinions please

    Hello everyone. I set out to make this setup to be a somewhat generic late 18th/early 19th century style, while attempting to be as accurate as I could be with what materials I had to work with. I haven't hammered out the fine details of my persona, but the broad strokes are that I am...
