New Sub-forum

[Beo]

I'm asking if we could get a forum called something like "The Workbench" or "The Craftshop" a place to discuss things like making your own knife from files, or forging them, or from saw blades like Kid does, or making things like bags, stoves, or other items for survival.
Beo,

[MedicineWolf]

Sounds like a great Idea but you could have just asked Chris rather than doing a poll ya frig'n goofball.

[Sam]

Hey Beowulf, maybe we can rig this thing and vote a lot. :)

[pgvoutdoors]

Great Idea!!!! I'm fully behind it! Shop information located in one forum would keep things organized.:)

[trax]

This is my big chance to steal all of you guy's best ideas and practices. I support this venture 100%

[Beo]

I made it a poll so I would know I'm not the only one wanting it.

[Tony uk]

YAY Democracy time :D

[trooper]

Sounds good pops, I can build my own stuff.

[Gray Wolf]

Great idea Beowulf

I just added some new equipment to my workbench, testing some old ways with some new twists....

[Rick]

Well I think it's a dopey idea. I didn't see any mention about twinkies so I'm not in.......Yeah, yeah. It's a good idea.

Thanks Medicine Wolf! I think we just found a new name for Beo. FGB, Frig'n Goofball. Call me a twinkie, will ya! Hmmmpf.

[crashdive123]

Great idea. Maybe we can even learn how to make twinkies.

[Rick]

At last I am vindicated! Read on twinkie lovers of the world:

At just to prove how healthy it is:

wouldn't this be like the "primitive technology" forums though? cause that is pretty much what it is. I suppose this would be more of an advanced version then or something

[Gray Wolf]

wouldn't this be like the "primitive technology" forums though? cause that is pretty much what it is. I suppose this would be more of an advanced version then or something

Like myself, the Kid uses power tools and Saw blades to create his knives, etc.

That's not primitive technology.

[Ole WV Coot]

I make my own chisels and carving knives. I generally make anything I can't beg, borrow or steal mainly because I am cheap and I could use some pointers cause I can't run fast enough to steal anymore.

[Assassin Pilot]

Alright, I suppose this section would be a good idea. It would be helpful for me as well because I like knowing how to make stuff.

[Jay]

Greetings all, I'm back.
Sounds like a good idea. I like it.

[Rick]

You were gone? Oh, yea. We missed you.:rolleyes: Welcome back.

[trax]

SO....in about well less than five minutes, I've seen threads on making electricity, the fact that some of us are making knives out of saw blades, hence not primitive technology, and a request on making snowshoes. Wouldn't all of those items be a perfect fit for the sub-forum as requested? Isn't that the kind of thing we're talking about?

[Beo]

Yes it is.

[Riverrat]

Like it, like it alot...

[CTracker]

is this the one with the secret handshake?

[nell67]

Hey,this isn't one of those secret mens society things is it???:mad::D

[Tony uk]

Hey,this isn't one of those secret mens society things is it???:mad::D

Sh*t

Erm........................................No


*She knows to much*

[CTracker]

Yes we are, an we're gonna call it the WolfPack ManLaw Guild :D

[nell67]

When I think of GUILD,I think of a bunch of little old ladies in pink smocks,sitting at the information desk at the front of the hospital,just waiting to tell you where to go

Manlaw my a**:D

[crashdive123]

So what's wrong with pink?:D

[nell67]

Sh*t

Erm........................................No



*She knows to much*


So what ya gonna do about it bub??? Huh?? You dont skeer me,I aint skeerd of nuthin,LMAO!

[nell67]

So what's wrong with pink?:D
Why,nothing if you are a girly girl,OR a little old lady.

[crashdive123]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[nell67]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it:D

[Assassin Pilot]

How about we call it "The Hare Club for Men" and dress up as bunnies protecting the secret of Easter with peeps-brand-marshmallows in microwaves as explosives? Don't forget, the ninjas are our secret enemy.....


...... if any of you watch South Park, you would get this

[Rick]

Uh, that would a no.

[Tony uk]

So what ya gonna do about it bub??? Huh?? You dont skeer me,I aint skeerd of nuthin,LMAO!

BOO !

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FEAR ME

[Assassin Pilot]

And there goes Tony eating too much sugar again

*reads article stating eating sugar will not make you hyper unless you have ADD or hyperactive issues naturally*

I conclude Tony is a crazy man

[Rick]

And you point is what, exactly?

[Tony uk]

And there goes Tony eating too much sugar again

*reads article stating eating sugar will not make you hyper unless you have ADD or hyperactive issues naturally*

I conclude Tony is a crazy man

I conclude that i am a genuis, I am a mixture of Enstine, John Loggy Bear, Chuck Noris and the guy who invented sliced bread

[Assassin Pilot]

Damn sliced bread is good. I congratulate you for that, it must have taken years to perfect the perfect slice.

[Tony uk]

Damn sliced bread is good. I congratulate you for that, it must have taken years to perfect the perfect slice.

[Rick]

It's Einstein, Enstine. I would have thought you would have gotten that one at least. (slowly shakes his head).

[Assassin Pilot]

Well he may not be good at English but he is obviously good at math. It balances it out.

[Beo]

Good at English cause he's from the UK, but not so good with American Lingo :D

[Tony uk]

Good at English cause he's from the UK, but not so good with American Lingo :D

UK ?? Rubbish Tis Scotland that im from

[Rick]

Pat. pat. pat. Good Tony. It's okay. They don't know that Scotland rules the UK and Parliament is just a front. It's okay.

[Proud American]

Well to get back on track I shall quote Track "This is my big chance to steal all of you guy's best ideas and practices. I support this venture 100%" so with those words i support this venture two.(stamps "Proud American Seal Of Aproval" on idea)

[Beo]

So what's up Chris... Sarge... can we get this set up as a sub-forum or what?

[MedicineWolf]

So are we gonna get the forum?
And bro, your signature should read: His name was Beowulf, and they say he wanted to be a woodsman but he was a big azz goofball. The story goes that he was a man of dim witts and nervous spirit, suited to the suburbs and city life. Nobody knows where bouts he come from and it don't seem to matter much cause no one gave a crap. He was a young man and ghosty stories about the tall hills scared him so he stayed in the burbs. He had French Tulle .62 caliber but he was a crap shot and would have starved if not for the Cheyenne warrior Medicine Wolf who fed him and then chased him back to the burbs with his wife, son, and there beige volvo where he works 40 hours or more a week to get a fake gold watch after 30 plus years of serving as a cop for people who don't appriecate him:D
LOL.... now thats funny... lol...

[Rick]

Ouch! Medic! (Pointing at Beo).

It's good to know you guys are friends. I sure would hate to see the enemy version of that.

[MedicineWolf]

Yeah, good thing. Unlike some others he can take a ribbing and then fire back without getting mad.

[trax]

Well to get back on track I shall quote Track

It's TraX dammit..with an X...now I have to storm out of the room in tears again! Somebody give me a Kleenex....but wait (sniffle)....they've found two things in here that Tony's good at(sniffle)...life's worth living again! Proud, I forgive you! Someone give Proud a hug for me!


So, uh...:rolleyes: yeah....about that subforum

[Rick]

Someone needs a hug but it ain't Proud. Tony!! Come on, Trax. Man hug time.

[trax]

Someone needs a hug but it ain't Proud. Tony!! Come on, Trax. Man hug time.

Leave me alone....sniff sniff...I'll be ok....Tony

[nell67]

Rick,you hug Tony,I'll take care of Trax!!!:D

[Rick]

Mamby Pamby Momma's boy. You were right, Tony. You were right.

[trax]

yeah, you and Tony just keep hugging each other and telling yourselves how right you are, while I continue to hug ...the female....keep up the mediocre work there surferboy. Tony? Feel free to have your way with Twinkie.

[Tony uk]

*Even louder, more teary crying*

Damm time :(

[Beo]

Let us not get off track here.... the poll states we all want or would like a "workbench" sub-forum, so can we get it SARGE or CHRIS..... what say fearless boss men!!!!
And Rick, Tony enough with the man hug thing, eeewwwww gives me the willies.

[Assassin Pilot]

why do we not have the new forum yet? should someone PM chris?

[Chris]

I don't think it justifies a new forum, but rather I can rename the "Primitive Technology" forum to include it. Otherwise there would be topical overlap. "I want to post about making a knife handle out of antler, where do I post? Primitive Technology or Workbench?"

Name ideas? Maybe...

Tool Crafting & Primitive Technology

Survival Tools & Crafting

???

[Beo]

Sounds good, but we weren't talking about just primitive things, other things such as bags, stoves, etc. but that will work.

[crashdive123]

I think that the workbench idea is a good one. I have noted however, that the title of a topic or forum has never prevented us from talking about whatever we ..... what was I saying?

[trax]

Just call it technology...or "making stuff", the thread titles within can determine whether it's more primitive or contemporary.

[CTracker]

I think crashdive123 made a good call. Pretty much sums it up, "survival isn't about easy (http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showpost.php?p=26490&postcount=25)."

[Gray Wolf]

I don't think it justifies a new forum, but rather I can rename the "Primitive Technology" forum to include it. Otherwise there would be topical overlap.

Chris I think the Primitive Technology Forum and the concept of the Workbench Forum are two different animals (so to say). Where you would post the question about the Antler handle would depend on how and what the knife blade is made of... I personally don't want to lose the Primitive Technology Forum. But I'd like to share ideas with other members on new creations or modifications using powertools and new high tech materials too... JMHO
