Thats my reasoning Iodo, I'm thinking along the lines of three levels of kit. Survival: this gear is fixed to your body . In your pockets, pouches(belt, neck, wrist, boot or body-strap) or (as in our chosen culture) on the mining belt. It would include enough gear to survive if you lost everything e...

Rats.....

Have you got a copy of the one with the Beard Grooming and the Vegemite ?

Ah, all mine are handcrank, a couple of Singers and a Standard..... Currently refurbing a Singer with a shuttle that was rusted solid when I got it.

Megan: Thats a nice machine, treadle or 'Lectric?

I will admit that I've always seen Beorn's folk living as more bears do then other Men. Solitary adults, single families or rarely very small clans (groups of related families, such as siblings with their spouses and children) on small low impact homesteads with a defined territory...... Close enoug...

I though it would be..... Never mind.

For F&S fire lighting I use worn out gunflints

Those look great, pity I'm in the UK as postage would make them far to expensive for me..... Otherwise I'd be tempted to buy a set. Re: Different grits and hardnesses, I saw a program where they're building a new castle somewhere in France using old techniques. They get three different grades of sto...

Manv: If Megan could cut you the right sized blanks, you can finish and shape them on a coarse carborundium 'stone'. Obviously a Practical stone will cost more then a static prop due to the extra work (both yours and Megan's). Of course its hard to find a good rock...... Why else would you carry the...

Iodo: I'm a re-enactor and I have to be aware of the legal hoops I have to jump through. Curved blade over 50cm covers most military sabres as well...... Its a really badly worded and poorly thought out bit of legislation

Hello, my name is Ulfr, and I am a rock addict... Greetings Ulfr, you sit among friends Ok on a serious note, the jade whetstone sent me down a rabbit hole. After some research and digging on our farm.... I grabbed a chunk of sandstone, ran it through the stone saw , and tried it... I took my old b...

It might be a UK knife law thing though, there are some funny rules about curved blades so Etsy might have blocked it? I don't think its big enough to fall foul of the "Samuri Sword" prohibition. “It is illegal to bring into the UK, sell, hire, lend, give or possess in private swords with...

Why do I want that so badly???? :lol: in all seriousness, that is a nice piece :P Because you're a Dwarf.... ETA ...and rocks are something that dwarves are able to appreciate more than most :mrgreen: I must learn to read all of a thread before replying I'm a Dwarf and I want one too........ "...

The Trinity of Knives, The Thumb blade, The Hand blade and The Arm blade.

This is a really nice Thumb blade, I hope it serves you well

Glad you're still hanging in there, RL issues do have an annoying tendency to get in the way of important things. Good that you got something to test and unfortunate that Version#1 proved unworkable. Because we don't have historical examples of 3rd Age Middle Earth Dwarven backpacks to copy, we must...
