2dumb! you know what you can do with your pinkslip! seriously good for a laugh!
2dumb I am never bothered by you guys rhetoric! had a good laugh over here! I'll make sure and keep the horses & the little guy in the pics!
Back to my post...
I bought a 12' X 24' waxed canvas tarp for about $250, it looks like surplus but is new. It is black - 7 mils. I intend to build a huge frame under it and cover it with the tarp. pics forthcoming...
nice.
i've been looking for a similar canvas for my tipi [or my 'some indeterminable time in the future' gehr], but that price tag has been holding me back.
I'll get you the link..the wife ordered it..of course on my approval...anyhow I'll tell her I need the link. We searched the web all over to get it. yeah just right for a teepee if you want it black? No other colors avail...Quote:

Don't mess with the little guy!
Finally got over the flu bug and got a few dry days so I am back to work. I removed the bark with a flat blade shovel. Don't be fooled into thinking this is easy, it isn't...

Back at it today...
Nope Nothing at all.Everything looks normal except for your homemade hatchet handle being taped up. Didn't crack it did ya'?
No it isn't cracked....That is jute wrapped with tape for firestarter. Try again! Your close...Quote:

Close enough! If you look close the shovel handle is square...I went to town 2X to buy a durn handle and came up empty 2X. So I made it from an old oak board. One benefit though it helped guide the blade as a round handle would twist in your gloves. The hatchet handle is wrapped with jute for firestarter and it will protect the handle should I miss! (Not likely)
So when are you going to trade the hatchet for a REAL wood working tool... a Tomahawk? LOL Just pickin' hope you're just Grinnin'!
I'd love to have a tomahawk, I am using what is at hand. This is why I am posting on a survival forum. For me it is rewarding to know I can make what I need. I suspect when I get around to it I will be forging my own! Yeah I am grinnin' and I know the little hatchet is lacking a bit...But has not failed me yet!Quote:

If I Tacked the canvas in place and then used roofing tar or some sealant like that it would still be a LOT cheaper.Quote:

Oh, LOL, good.......I thought it was something to do, with your little pink book!:blushing:Quote:
