Good bye old friend..

Cleaning out the closet.. found this old thing.

Throw back to when i was ripping around on my 94 Kona Fire Mountain being a fakenger.

 So Yeah the dudes in the docu "need for speed" was a big influence..

Time to put it to rest in a landfill, everything goes..

Handles..

 For carrying stones..

Etc etc...

Tarp tipi .

Man i messed up the tarp math..

I have made one of these before but apparently i have forgotten how to..

 So double the size, check..

Lights out

Lost the lens cap thing on the gravel truck+it got ran over by a car..

So "repaired" it. Fluxcore/old wire/plastic lid.. 

Looks so awesome, might look better painted..

 

Axe stuff..

 More leather crap..

Edge cover for my EIA axe..

(Low key the best edc axe out there..)

Pretty crude but will do the thing.

 Ask me ten years down the trail...

Pack problems

 Broke the sternum strap on my Exped pack 

a million days ago so I made a new one..

Leather/copper rivets and a bit of deer antler.

I do like when my repairs/fixes stuck out like a sore thumb..

X marks the spot

They say that God will provide..

But just in case if he Doesn't 

 

Tripod

My crappy camera/phone tripod crapped out. The temporary string solution worked for a while but it needed some improvement..

Fluxcore magic time 

And per usual some field testing..

It gives me so much satisfaction to fix stuff and get some more mileage out of whatever it is..

 

Clubbing 2

 Putting a greasy bead on the pipe/canister joint to reduce the risk of yeeting steel and cement some where it shouldnt be yeeted

Also bought a iron ball pommel thing wich also will reduce yeeting.. Not welded on yet, its that filling the handle with lead business to sort out..

12.5 kg

Clubbing

 Another training tool..

Mace/club made of one of those large huffing gas bottles,cement and some pipe i found*

Weight around 11kg but I want to up that.

Maybe full the pipe/handle with lead shot and epoxi.

And I would like to find some round ball as a pommel thing for the handel.

*Weird thing about that bit of pipe. I was looking into order a bit of pipe for this and searched 60cm/30mm pipe on the webs just to step on a bit of junk pipe with exactly those dimensions out in the woods..

If there is a junk metal god, a Lord of the discarded tidbits.. 

He is on my side..

Another one

New Gada/Mace. The previous one I made is about 6/7kg and I wanted a heavier one..

Cement/gravel/shovel handle and some leadbits in the mix for extra weight..

 

Pipe/tobacco boxes

Artefacting..

Not a smoker but I occasionally burn tobacco for ceremonial reasons.. 

And much of my tinkering is along the lines of living history / "reenactment"..

Not really sure what Im reenacting thou..just curious about how the past felt..

 

Gada/mace

Ongoing project

Gada training tool.. Weight 6/7kg

 

Shoe project

Sort of barefoot mockasin shoe thing..

Bought some used Clarks desert boots, cut the sole of and stitched on a 3/4 mm leather sole.. waiting for adhesive rubber sole to finish it of..

Testing/molding and stretching them..

before adding the rubber..

In hindsigt I could have looked for a size 46 to give me more material to work with..

These will stretch but we will se how they will hold up..

Elder tip..

If your not making your own stuff/shoes/gear/whatever..

YOU ARE MISSING OUT..

 

Micro pendant 2

Rusty chain links, broken glass..

Really enjoy welding this tiny stuff with my crappy fluxcore welder..

Im just letting the rust dig in before 

oiling/treating it..
