Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
That's some very talented work there Kepis, to say the least. If the smilies were working, you'd be swamped with thumbs up!
Mine are generally fuller than Kepis' design - mainly to keep rain and moisture off the head - this is okay but if the weather gets in and the leather is soaked it holds moisture in - so my masks are generally soaked in nikwax
I didn't make these btw - a lovely bloke called Singtek did - but I have others by Dougster and Topknot - their work is good too!

They generally have 2 D rings on the back

Hi 2trapper
Some of mine (different design to kepis', and not as decorative
)
Slightly different approach to the GB mask, relying on the angle of the head to retain the mask. It also leaves the poll open to use as a mallet (on wood only ) without needing to unmask the edge.

Nice masks there, Red - must get round to making a new set for my double bit, as the originals are getting a bit tatty.
Lovely work all round Kepis, BR & CB!
Here's some of mine 2trapper...
And for adverse conditions or those on a budget...

Most of mine were made by a chap called Singtek mate - and he's back in Malaysia now sadly for me
Dougster and Topknot made others of mine and I can reccomend both. I do some leatherwork but never to sell - it takes me too long! I have a lot - because I have a lot of axes
One more of Singteks for fun

Hi Guys,
Well this is my first effort from scraps.
Its got a thick welt, glued and then bound. It works and protects the head and I learnt a lot.

Thank you Samon, the only ones I didn't make are in the sixth picture.
Looks like simple & effective Hawk sheath you have made there.
heres one i made for a guy a while back on a GB
one for my Argos £2.99 special
need to sort one for my GB carver as it broke not an easy shape for Kydex ( as a simple single wrap)
so may have to do a leather one
