I just got done making the Berry Picker, as a present for a neighbor who had helped me out with another project. This was a very simple project, that looks great, and seems very sturdy. I hope it works well.

[Rick]

Always great posts, GW. Thanks!

[Runs With Beer]

This is a great site I put it on my Fav. list. I realy like the fish trap, Will have to try that one.

[Gray Wolf]

Sarge or Rick, this should be made a sticky so it's easy to find for those that are into "Making Stuff".

[Rick]

Consider it done!

[Gray Wolf]

Thank you, I hope the members old and new take some private time and make some of these projects. I've been making different ones for Christmas presents. Any of them make great personal gifts.

[Bladesypher]

Great site. I think I might have stumbled upon it before, but unfortunately missed the DIY section. ^_^

[wild kid]

I've have been making knives and would like tips on how to do it better:)

[flandersander]

Could you be a little more specific on what you're doing and how you're doing it? What type of knife? That sort of thing. Your question is really general, if you want a specific answer, you'll need to ask a specific question. But there are quite a few members that make knives and have all the info you'll need.

[wild kid]

I'm making stone knives by hand the chipping and flaking.

[wild kid]

Any tips at all?

[palm stalker]

save your money (just a tip)

1st, your thread has been moved to the appropriate Forum & thread that you need to study. We have "Flint-knappers here who have posted a lot in this forum on what you ask. Study & you shall be rewarded!:cool: (So saying the Wise old Zen-Survival Master wraps himself in his robes, steps back, there's a large puff of smoke, then he re-appears, coughing.) "Hack! Hack!" Okay, who's smoking?:confused::eek::D:cool:

Sarge why did my sticky of "Making things (Making Tools, Knives, Nets & More, with a sub-section of Making Your Own Outdoor Gear"), get moved to the " Survival Food: Foraging, Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping" Forum??? It does belong in the "Making Stuff" Forum, where it has been.
Thanks

I switched it Gray Wolf, sorry for the delay.:o

[Gray Wolf]

Thank you oh great one... :D

[wild kid]

Any ansers to my question?:confused:

[Gray Wolf]

I used the SEARCH BUTTON (like Sarge hinted to you) Search: Key Word(s): knapping , and low and behold there are 2 pages of info, tips and pictures! The SEARCH BUTTON is at the top of each page, nestled between "New Posts" and "Quick Links".

Enjoyed checking out the "The Three-Stick Roycroft Pack Frame."

I've made a number of pack frames over the years using one of my grandfather's as a model. Not too hard to make and very comfortable:

Your back only comes in contact with the rawhide lace, so no sore spots, and in hot weather you don't end up with your back soaked with sweat.

I made the three stick pack frame it worked every nice I also made a canvas pack for it. I did awalk in camp at the end of oct. last year .I rolled all my gear in my diamond fly and strapped it to the frame leaving the pack empty when I got to camp I unstrapped the diamond fly unrolled it and every thing is at hand when camp was set up the pack was empty and ready for a trek in to the woods no digging in the pack to find something

[Gray Wolf]

RBB, that's a fine looking pack frame.
