Finished up my tool roll today, now I just need to replace all the modern items in it lol.
Sir, this is fantastic! You did a great job! Don't know how I missed it before...
I agree, very well done
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.
One of the good things about missing a few weeks on the forums is you come back to so many finished projects. It's very inspiring.
Manv.... just stop it already mate, I'm tired of you shaming me with the quality of your work. Every time I see you've made something it's like you're a player in character in Skyrim making a hundred <leather bag> to level your leatherworking and it just gets better and better.
But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.
Making a scabbard for my new messer. I made a couple years ago using three pieces of poplar. This time I'm using two. I trashed two boards before finally getting a good fit. That whole chisel thing is not as easy as it looks, at least for me.
The blade fits good, a bit tight. Draws easy when holding the scabbard with the support hand.
Hopefully I'll get to the leather tomorrow.

Finished a fair amount of projects recently - a bedroll, a shield, and upgrades for my boots so far. Now I just have to fix all of the issues with those I discovered on my first outing with them, as well as put my snapsacks back together lol. My next project is likely to be a pack frame.

Very nice lines on that one, did you line it at all? Also I'm curious why you think it needs a chape? Personal preference?

Your kit has come a long way fast AND you're actually out there using it. Well done!

I think the winning formula for boots for the future will be to get turn-shoes and use scrap leather to make them tall. Gives a very Aragorn boot vibe without being direct copies. Not quite what I did with these, I took a mid calf medieval boot, cut apart a goodwill cowboy boot that matched well enough, and added some pieces for waterproofing.
