    Anti-seize compound for nipple theads?

    I use the automotive anti-seize with the copper in it! A little dab will do you! It matches the browned finish on my rifle! :rotf: :rotf:

    help making a tomahawk sheath

    OK overnight someone posted a pic on another site of a different type of hawk sheath than I had seen before. So here a couple of pics! It was made by a fellar that uses the handle Deibert! There is a strap from the blade cover from the hawk, (unable to see in the pics). It then goes over...

    help making a tomahawk sheath

    The rawhide is a good detail, it will help to keep the hawk from cutting thru. I personally would not carry one on a belt with out some kind of catch/holding system the one that is posted by Sligobill is one example! I made one years ago that I carried on my trapline as a kid. It consisted...

    Frontier knives constantly carried?

    My opinion and that's what is MHO! Back in the day of Frontier knives, they would have definitely carried more than one knife. If your thoughts go to the big blade, perhaps a butcher perhaps a Bowie, etc. It would have been the go to when the moment called for it. Hacking at something or in...

    New large bowie style knife.

    That one turned out well! :bow: As too your statement of being "too big to be practical"! I have my own theory as too Bowie knives! Anyone willing to take off into "Wild Country" so to speak, the idea of a larger knife seems to be a good choice. In other words I would not want to do hand...

    Dyeing Fabric

    I am not sure how this works with buck skinning but back in the tie-dye days we used a soak the t-shirts in salt water to set the dyes. After about a 24-48 soak in the salt water the dye is set. Some of it will leach out in the soak water but what remains is set. You can then rinse and wash to...

    St. Louis style

    Dang, it just don't look like the common buff horn and I am not referring to work you put into it! It looks longer than the average buff horn and they are few and far between with the curl. That must have been an ole buff! Great work sir, great work!!

    Using a candle to start fire?

    Along the lines of this topic, not how to light it but how well the candle works! Before I ever got interested in BP firearms I did a lot of camping. I made some candles out of 75% beeswax and 25% paraffin wax. I poured them in an old paper towel tube, with one continues wick that ran through...
