    The ideal patch knife.

    Maybe I am way off base here, but I just do not carry a special knife just to cut patches with. I have looked at lots of pictures, read lots of books, and given it lots of thought. I just do not find a historical record for a special knife to cut a patch with. So, I use my belt knife just keep a...

    Leather Canteens

    I picked up a leather canteen on ebay a couple of years ago. I believe it was from a place called heavy leather? However, they sold them as bottels. I bet if you typed bottels in your search engine they would come up.

    Long Knife

    Correct on what a leader. Just reading the book, I was ready to sign on and head out with him. As for the way he was treated by his country...seems like the military has always gotten the short end of the stick in this country.

    Military Regulation Republic of Texas 1839

    Thanks Gordon! I have both of those links and Scott over at ROT has been very helpful. I question the accuracy of the uniforms a bit on the other site. Marshall is a bit one side in his discussion and other writers do not support his ideas of uniforms as much. Among the are the guys at...

    Knives and Osage Orange

    Would love some if the offer is still open. I am working on a knife now that will look great with some osage orange on it. Down here in Texas they call it Hedge.

    Water bags

    Any idea how I would go about making a water bag? I too live in Texas (Dallas area) and think this may be better than a keg for water.

    Trying to make parched corn, failing miserably

    I just pulled back the husks, tied them together and left them hanging on my fornt porch. Made kind of a decoration on the front porch. I knew they were done when I could rub the ears and the kernals would pop off in my hands.

    Greetings from Norte Tejas

    I have a comic strip in my blacksmith stuff of 3 anvils sitting on a shelf. One says "Peter Wright" one says "Mouse Hole" one says "Acme" on the side. The Acme anvil looks at the other two and says "I was in cartoons, what did you guys do?"
