Thread: Feeling like a leech folks.

    Default Feeling like a leech folks.

    Hi Folks

    I have been reading this forum and lurking and even getting compliments about stuff I have made. But I feel like I am not giving anything back.

    Being a new guy I figure I may have different views or ideas that may not have been brought up yet.

    If you have any questions that you think I may be able to help you on with my limited knowledge please feel free to ask so I may be able to donate something to the forum.

    You got something to throw out there, man, go for it, we can all learn from a different perspective. If I offer someone advice that they don't like on any of these threads, they're free to ignore it, right?

    I believe we all gain from hearing different opinions or different methods of doing what we do out in the wild country.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Hey kid, be patient. You've already contributed a lot with your leather and steel skills. Hang & learn, then when you see an opening where you can contribute, jump in! BTW, here's a question I have about the movie: "The Hunted". in the final end-part of the film, Benico Del Toro quickly builds a forge and makes himself a home-made knife in very little time. I'm wondering if that was feasible at all?

    Hi All

    First off I am no expert at forging but have done some

    If I had a full forge and tools with it and started out with a piece of steel that was close to
    what I wanted I could probably make his crude knife in an hour or so

    My opinion not happening but I have been wrong before.

    Actually ha ha, I have a small pole ax that I carry, they call them bag ax's and the poll is a hammer.

    Neat thing, waited 2 years for the guy to make it. Worth it, razor sharp and makes a good bow.
