Oh Yeah its arrived finally what a knife, cant wait to see what it looks like next to my Gil Hibben Old West Bowie.
Talking about my new Old West Arkansas Toothpick by Gil Hibben,which just arrived so now I have the set.
will put some pics later when it stops raining, OD you really, really need one of these lol
It is very handle heavy, so easy to swing around
only paid half of what they want for this one, from Blade-Discounts
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mirror-Fi...8d00ada&_uhb=1
seriously considering buying one of these, being an ex sewing machine technician I'll have no trouble maintaining it.
Just beef it up a tad to sew thicker materials like canvas.
I like the idea of having a bag or box for everything

I need a heavy duty sewing machine to do my leather but cant afford 1
Working on my 1st rifle sling, tooling is going to take some time.

very nice work time consuming to I take it.?
Yeah my next investment will be an industrial
plain sewer, I'll beef it up to sew at least 6 layers
of 15oz canvas.
You would need a walking foot singer K6 , mate has one .
they still pull big bucks to buys at least $2000 min
for a good one
Not gonna pay 2k at the moment.
Tooling can take a bit of time to do.
Will get a toothpick 1 day lolok
Blades-discount have the best price ATM for a Toothpick.
bummer nothing arrived today now have to wait till next Wednesday
because of the Melbourne Cup.
same chopping board too ,spooky eh lolQuote:

Yeah saw that in the hunting thread ,very nice
That 1 will go on 1 of my rifles. Starting another 1 tonight for family4x4, need to do some colour tests though to make sure the green stands out properly from the rest of the black sling.
New knife from wifey
I have one very similar but no etching on the blade, did the stand come with it??
Yup the stand came with it
I should get some perspex stands made seeing I have the source
Jailers keys came in today, cheers heaps TD. Awesome work.
Orders are starting to trickle in for the rifle slings, will finish off Sean's tonight as well as the other 1 posted then have to start on a 3rd custom sling.
Once I have finished off the rifle scabbard, have to make the owner 2 slings as well.
Getting busy
If anyone is interested, I am now selling tree of life pendants in gold, nickel and antique with clasp or screw gate for $10.00 each including postage with $2.00 from each item going to the Make A Wish Foundation.

No probs, I'm taking my set on any future trips just to keep the vegies warm waiting for the roast meat.
Plus my new plough disc frypan can sit on it as well
Thought you'd like this gun strap no idea how its done ,
I'll put pics here later of my new camp lighting system,
You just pick a tree and screw in the light bracket, easy, peasy
Looking at the quantity that the he has for sale, they would be mass produced and prestamped then coloured from there more so seeing as has 9 of the for sale.
That sling alone if hand carved / stamped, the detail and colouring would be around the $150-200 mark easy.
That rifle round pouch again if truly hand crafted would easily $90.00 upwards.
Pricing up the scabbard at the moment as he wants it felt lined is going to be somewhere around the $225+ mark, never knew that felt was so friggen pricey
Felt is ok I brought some in different colours to line some antique wooden boxes I have.
from memory not that over priced, but could be different types.
Did you post over the templates??
Felt is $7.90 a MT cheap as chips
I forgot to post the templates, need to neaten them up and will scan and email them to you.
Did your axe head cover come in yet?
A4 size felt is 99c but $23 per meter over here from spotlight.
No nothing has arrived yet ,
Type in "felt material", then take your pick from 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and so on
I have a fax if that'll help
Oz post are getting slower and slower.
Been waiting on a heap of leather working gear for yonks and still not arrived
Yeah agree 100% that the post is slower.
Now for everyone else that reads this and wants some leather gear made the will look awesome
and be practical I highly recommend Southern Leather Solutions, I'm hoping he will become a vendor here,[hint]
Jasons' work is very high quality indeed, plus he does custom stuff as well. If it can be made in leather Jasons your guy.
Heres a hatchett cover for my Fiskar X7, perfect fit and a great colour too, and a wishing tree fob for my Patrol keys.
big thank you and two thumbs up to SLS
Might have to get a Leather Cover for my Axe/Splitter.
Will PM measurements for a quote
@ OD Lancey stuffed up an order and has re-sent me an ACU cap,
It had an USA patch but will change that to Aust flag and blood group
what would third patch be eppi pen on board ?????
Third patch I'm getting is NKA seems fitting, for others it means
No Known Allergies
Scored, 3rd as you said could relate to anything. More and more patches are coming out, hard to keep track.
Bob, more than happy to try help out and have sent you a pm.
Bit the bullet and brought an Old Timer Uncle Henry Golden Spike. oh well
You know the rules. Didn't happen without photos
I brought this one cause it has Uncle Henry written on the blade
Is that a stone pouch on the front of the sheath?
Both look great.
The Young Gun rifle sling has just been picked up by its new owner. He was super stoked with it that he is getting his dad to order a sling and wants a custom dog collar made up as well.
He didn't even want his change for buying the sling..bonus
Yeah it is , what colour is the stain its the same as the schrade sheaths and looks amazing
Check out this baby lol
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Luggage-t...item1e94a4e1c5
I've found 4 different styles of the Golden spike, mainly the etching on the blade
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mtech-Xtr...cff80c6&_uhb=1
Found a stone washed axe to partner my Tanto, same brand, I'll put these on my molle packs
Very nice indeed, the dye is antique tan.
I have antique tan, saddle tan and black. All give the leather a rustic effect. My favourite is the saddle tan, have it in the normal dye version and brings out some awesome grain patterns
When the stone washed axe arrives,
I see what you can come up with as a dual sheath with the stone washed tanto some how,
seems right they should go together, Those nylon sheaths are the pits,
This tanto should of had a molle compatible abs sheath.
Can you buy universal molle survival style sheaths? think I saw one some where once
found this mob
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Camouflag...item3f33e37cd6
Think the guy I brought my uncle Henry Golden spike has done a runner "a-hole"
Going to fix these knives to this board and nail a small lip around 3 sides. might look ok.
Going to stain it a bit first see how the grain looks
Guy not replying to messages?
Dont know what happened there but yeah all his other items are gone.
does have a tracking number but that shows nothing, ticked right off over this
EDIT;; just received a message from him fingers crossed
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Big-Head-...item20ea5cde33
@ Bob heres the pouch to suit those torches we have
Also found a cheapish Fiskar X10 490mm which is 50mm bigger than the X11 @ 450mm,
I think OD's leather cover will fit the slightly larger axe/hatchet
@ OD did you say a while back you brought a Winchester Bowie ?
If so what style handle did you select, finger grove, round or Std walnut
