Afternoon all,
I'm getting stuck into some leatherwork, it started as me wanting to get back into it, make myself some more dodgy looking pouches and be proud of my rough work. It's now developed into wanting to make some nice(r) stuff, and so I'm taking it more seriously.
I want to reinforce...
Thanks for injecting some calm into this, it's given me and I'm sure others, some assurance. I've only had knives properly in my life for a few years so haven't experienced any reforms or clamp downs before, it was sounding like sad times.
Wondering if anyone remembers an article linked on this forum some time ago, I cant find it and never got to the end, and I really want to!
It was an account of working trapping lines, I think in Alaska. The guy went there a rookie and looked to be improving greatly as the essay went on...
Thanks for the help! I'll go for one of those slimline ones then, I did the usual thing of seeking a tip off a forum and quickly getting overwhelmed by the pen-crafting elite! Really appreciate the advice here!
I hadn't thought of drilling out a twig, so simple and it'd probably make for some...
Long time since coming here last! I have a question maybe nobody can help me with, but I've learned to not ask it on turning forums! A long shot, but does anyone here know about making pens?
I'd like to have a go at a simple one, carving the wood blank by hand. I know to avoid the kits...

Thanks for the help I well appreciate it, I imagined the pith to be pulpy and soft so still a lot to learn here.
The heating sounds like it might be easier done than said, so I'll hopefully get hold of a bit soon and have a go.
Thanks again
Morning all,
I'm looking around for a new carving project to get on with, my skills are basic and so far I've carved only wood.
I'm interested in working with horn - I've seen some beautiful buffalo horn, I wonder if I could make a spoon out of it. The time and effort it'll take aren't an...
Hi all,
Just wondering if the British Army softies can be dyed (the green side)? I'm hoping to at least get some mottling with brown dye.
thanks for any advice

Some folk just enjoy making and sharing, I for one am extremely grateful for this. I've often found that watching something being done for the 100th time can still teach me something just from it being a different person delivering the information - a thought they say aloud, a sidenote on how...
