Today I made. _____________??????

[CitizenL]

I am not sure who's idea this was but I got it from @Tom B .
I used a cut off from a axe handle, metal 1/4 teaspoon, Paracord & jig saw blade.
My thought was the cord & low friction divet was the hardest part about making a bow drill set in the field. I know many do just fine with all natural material but this should save time.

The jig saw blade was kinda just because I had room & wanted to.

Used it to cut the bow. It's no SAK saw. LOL

I failed to get a coal I think the wood was a little wet from being on the ground. But the divet worked well

I might add a fero rod , the jig saw blade would be a good striker.

Awesomely clever!!

Just finished this up this morning. Weathered hickory with a fire cord lanyard.

I really like that! Turned out great with the knot.

Love it. Adding the knot character makes it.

 

[Daywalker.]

Thank y’all, the knot just spoke to me for some reason. I’m happy with the way it turned out to.

did not make this but it is a mod i been working on. ontario camp plus hatchet, full tang little over 3/16 thick. the edges were all rough and the handle scales square and blockish. contoured them and cleaned up most of the edges still some work left to do on it. re shaped the head from the square to something a little different. i had been looking at an ancient smithy axe on amazon, but i saw some not great reviews on it and this was decently priced, 80.00 so i thought it will make a good project.

Not sure if this counts, but I ground the tang of one of my Svord peasant knives into a screw driver tip. Makes it a handy multi purpose knife!

Of course it counts. I own the same knife and i thought about turning it into something similar.

Thanks! The screw driver mod makes it handy for sure!

Reminder that I don't just make things that cut wood. Sometimes I use the cut wood to make things.

Tracker round 2... just enough leftover 8670 to squeeze in a stretched pattern. Now to see if I can finish this one in under 6 months.
