Sadly my propane forge is falling apart. I will soon have to remake it. I have many ideas on ways to improve it and hopefully I will be able to without much trouble. Just waiting to finish my coal forge before I start this prodject.

I would like to get my hands on a truck axel so I can make some hammer heads. I need a nice forging hammer.

Working on making a hot punch with my makers mark in it to make signing things a little easyer.

I have two tongs that just need to be rivited and the jaws to be formed. Time to pick up some rivits and finish those tongs. I need to get more steel for more tongs as well.

Am planning on making a trypode or two when I can get some steel.

I have to find a free weekend and make plans to weld up my coal forge.

Waiting on electrical stuff for my grinder.

I think I will work on wet forging some blade blanks when I get a chance.

Post vice is now complete. Pictures soon. Supose I should do that the next time I take it out of the garage.

More stone points coming soon.

The first five hides are now fleshed, grained, membrained, and rinsed. So one hide is dried out and 4 have been brained and softened ,but one of wich I want softer so will take it back through the softening stage, and just awaite smoking. Thinking of working on another one this saturday and sunday if the weather holds but so far I haven't had the best luck with nice warm dry days for the softening process. Still so many hides still waiting in freezers. Cant wait to get to them

maggets are still working on cleaning off the bones.

I have some cattail fluff I have to decide what I want to insulate with it. Maybee a jacket...hmmm...or a vest like thing sence it is boyent and warm.

Still need a few peices for the setup I am getting together to heat treat one of my knives.

Ground up sandstone, charcole, and clay this last weekend and am going to coat one of my blades sometime this week.

Need to work on processing the bark.

Need to curry my bark tanned leather still.

Started carving the bowls edge. It has been some slow steady work.

Head peice still in planning stage.

still learning new knots. I am taking all the scraps from my first three hides and cutting them into thong.

I was given 3 metal planes of verying sizes and have to clean hone and tune them. I finished sharpening them. I really need a peice of glass to make a lapping table with to work on them. As soon as that is done then I can continue work on the 3 low tables I have been working on and actually make them flat.

I also have some painting to do on a very large peice of artwork I have been working on for like 6 years or so. I really should get on that.


ahh learning is so much fun

Well thats all I can think of for now.
Hope everyone is having fun, keeping busy, and staying in trouble......I know I am
