Ahahahaha you had me in stitches dude! I have been told off for waking up the twindles!
Sorry for the confusion guys. I published your thread as an Article Southey, looks like something gone wrong (probably pushed the wrong button ... ). Thought it was great, especially the step-by-step bit.
No probs Dude! I thought I had gone wrong too, one of those" that can't be right" moments, glad you liked it matey.
Nice step by step, many thanks for posting it up :D Umm, I should get the rep system working again :D
Nice job!
The buck saw is one of the things i keep meaning to make and only remember when cursing a large bit of wood with only my laplander!
Thanks for posting, looks real good.

Thank you matey, It's a Julius Petterson hand forged 25th anniversary woodlore, in a Blacksheep(member here and great maker) cross draw sheath. I only used and axe, knife, spoon knife, folding saw, tennon saw(though that isn't necessary), sand paper and a battery powered drill to make the saw and boiled linseed oil for protection.
That is exellent,what a piece of kit,folds flatpack too.i love the twine tensioner,where did you get design for this?

Cheers dude!
I looked at pics of one mental nurse(a member here) had made and the one sold on the woodlore store, and made it to what I wanted. It really is something that I think any one could make with a little patience.
Was the 21" blade long enough or would the 24 have made a difference , or is it one of these things where pack ability wins over size ?
Craig............
For the tasks I envisage I will use it for in the near future, its a good size, processing fire wood upto a decent size say eight to ten inch logs. If I got the chance to build my own cabin again then it would definatly be and advantage to have the longer blade, I'm now thinking if its possible to have a frame that will accomodate both sizes comonly available? It seems easyer to get the raker toothed blades in 24" flavor and the peg toothed in 21" so it seem sensible to try and accomodate both sizes.
Yes i see where you are coming from the 21"is good for most bushcraft tasks around camp but for anything bigger the 24" would be ideal .
I am going to give one a try sometime soon , so i might try to make one that will incorporate both sizes of blade .
Or if you want to go a bit bigger again how about one of these ?

Thats amazing! Nice work!
Although I don't think i would trust myself in making one lol.
I've been looking to buy one lately before me and Luu98 go wild camping in scotland.
Cheers matey!, it really isn't that hard dude, give it a go and you will surprise your self, its only the finishing that makes it not look like three bits of a tree bashed together. its just patience and not being so hard on your self when you make a mistake, wood is very forgiving and in good supply!
