Last thread had some pretty good stuff. Here is my latest little project. Brazilian Cherry wood handle, 10cm x 1cm ferro rod blank friction fit, paracord lanyard with 2 strand diamond knot.

I really want to make one of these as i can get bandsaw blade stock pretty cheap, but I'm not sure i'd get to use it as fire bans are on for most of the year.
What did you finish the wood with anon?

I happen to have two sheep "furs" lying around. They're pretty old, but they're in good knick. Would it be a ridiculous idea to make gaiters out of these, even if just for fun?

Any other ideas of stuff to do with it?

The style might look odd depending on how you make then. I am thinking some silly costume piece that they used on the set of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys w/ Kevin Sorbo. You could make an ax mask, or a haversack depending on how much you have to work with. I am unfamiliar with the properties of sheep leather though.

Got a lot to work with. Two furs used previously as rugs. They probably would look pretty stupid, yeah.

I'm tempted to make a new knife sheath out of them, against just for fun. I do need a new axe sheath though.

Make what ever as good as you can and use each project as a learning experience. That is what I do anyhow. Thankfully I haven't had too many ideas totally bomb out. Weird little one didnt go well today, tried to get some 90 degree angels on all edges on a P-51 can opener. Some how just ended up making the edges shine more than anything.

I'd recommend using those for some form of insulative garment. You should definitely have plenty for that.

Buttery soft sheep skin is a HORRIBLE idea for knife sheaths, though.

That's a grat piece of art. Either the wick is set into the wax like a tea light, or you can use corrigated cardboard and pour melted wax onto/into it and light the exposed cardboard.

I really just wanted an even finish after I grinded the mushrooming and fixed the tip, and somebody recommended vinegar.

To be honest I'm not very experienced with patinas so I figured I'd try it out. The original looked nice too.

If by "patina" you mean rust...

Take that in and get a black-oxide finish before you fit a handle to it,
because it'll rust to shit if not constantly cared for, as you sanded off
all the original black-oxide finish that protected it from rusting.

I drilled out a hole just a bit smaller than the rod. Then using a non marring hammer gently tapped it into place, it is just friction fit. Once that was done I carved and sanded down the wood into the handle you see there.

Made this little LED jar light for my kids to use in the tent. Safer than paraffin / kerosene my wife felt. It lasts all night if they turn it down low, on full it goes about 1 1/2 hours but is very bright. Used a small 3.7v lithium battery from somewhere..heatsink from somewhere salvaged again... It charges from an old phone charger - 5v. Used a Cree LED, so it's very bright. Oh, variable resistor for the dimmer, salvaged again.
