Nice! Forget the chickens, I'd live in there. :-)

Great job! Started keeping them myself last year. Gutter and small rain barrel helps with watering . I piped in some nipple waterers so they can't get it dirty. Also, hanging feeders are great and start thinking about keeping the water unfrozen. Gave me a fit on those 9 degree days last winter. I'm also currently looking into buying coyote urine to keep mice at bay.

I don't think I'd trade my Wave for this, but it's a neat idea and kinda boss looking. A bit pricey at $150-$200 MSRP, however, Leatherman makes great products and actually stands behind them so more power to them.

Well that wasn't so bad. Good thing it's supposed to look old. That covered up the fact that I've never worked leather before. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Dolomite, I just picked up a belt blank at the local hobby shop. Think it will work nicely. I didn't think I'd be able to lay my hands on the stuff so easy. I really appreciate the help guys!

I'm not so worried about color. I might opt to replace them both Anyway so they at least matched.

I'm restoring an old trunk and I need to replace one of the straps. The existing strap is 1/4" thick x 1-1/4"wide x 9" long. Anybody know where I can get such a small amount of leather?

That was fast!
I've googled this to death already looking for old ones. I don't think this was a production piece so they may be one of a kind. There is a place in town that collects this kinda stuff I may check out, but the odds of finding 4 alike......
I think casting is probably going to be my most practical solution. It would be a handy thing to know in the future too! Thanks for the link, Omega. Lot of good info here. I knew I could count on you guys. :up:

I wanted to see what the minds here could come up with. Any help is appreciated.
I would really like to duplicate these keyhole covers. I have 4 and need 4 more. They are about 1-1/4 square and .03" thick. Aside from the outside shape, the interior design is embossed or engraved.
I had some ideas, but I tend to over complicate things. :-)

Autos don't do much for me so I just ordered a big 'un.

Wow! You can have sex with your Iphones now?!?!?
That's quite an innovation.I know some people that would if they could, but this one works just by peeing on your phone. :jester:

I hear ios7 also comes with a pregnancy test app.....

Welcome to the board. You've stumbled on a great place here. :usa:

Thanks guys. I will be practicing. Had this been a survival situation, I would have been out of luck. I burned way too much energy to make it practical. I was watching a video and this guy made the point that if you're lost/hungry, tasks like this become much harder to pull off (unless you're well practiced?).
whitewolf, I think what you're describing is charcloth?
I've yet to try the cotton ball trick. Zippo sells a fire starter that utilizes a similar cotton wick thing. I think I have some somewhere...

Went out this weekend intent on building this fire from foraged materials and fire steel. Just to see if I could. It was harder than I would have thought.
Proper tinder seems to be the key. Dried grass burns well, too well. Burns up too quick imo. I lucked into some pine sap / fatwood and finally got her going! Now, I usually carry a lighter or two in my bag, so the fire steel was more just to see if I could, but it was fun and interesting and I had a good time.

Teach him to always cut in a direction away from himself.This. Learned that one the hard way when I was young. Also, I'd make doubly sure it never "accidentally" goes to school with him.

I gathered the same thing from what I had read about them, expecting that the bushlore may need a little "polishing" upon arrival, but I found the fit and finish to be more than acceptable. I also read that Condor had recently redesigned the bushlore a bit, supposedly based on customer feedback. So, they may have raised their quality standards a bit. There isn't anything particularly flashy about it, but it should get the job done. :up: Like the Glock of the knife world, :rofl:

I think this did happen for a while but I'm not sure what happened to it.

Blade looks funny to me, but looks like a decent deal on a Ka-Bar
