Re: What's everyone working on?
A little more on topic: Athfwyn, I loveee the fabric choice! and the photo you took is breathtaking. I personally am working on finishing a couple of my first leather commissions, which are not in any way related to this hobby but are going to help me establish my online brand! After I finish the t...

Re: What's everyone working on?
I was browsing the forums for clothing ideas and came across Iodo's hood pattern and thought that would solve a lot of issues I have with the three-piece hood design. So I used some scrap red thin wool fabric I had and made a hood. I really liked it so I went back and modified my brown wool hood to ...

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept
I really like the design in your concept art, and hearing the reason behind how you designed it is very interesting. I can't wait to see what you make!

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
I think they'd be perfect. I really like the simple horn one. It is very much on the list to get when funds allow, and I think absolutely beautiful. I'll point out that as a Hobbit, birthdays are very important (feel free to mention that to the wife.... While leaving the right page on Tod's website...

Re: Day hike to test a snapsack
Thank you! My hair was a total mess that day, usually it's not so frizzy and unkempt. But I am happy it looks hobbitish, as I don't think my height or build does. I think your build looks about right really for a habitual traveller and (not trying to be rude here) common folk (tillers of soil rathe...

Re: Day hike to test a snapsack
You've got naturally Hobbit hair and the shirt looks good. I've made and used slowmatch before (my 'other hat' is Redcoat Napoleonic).... I recommend putting the striker back quick before Herself notices you've nicked it :-) Have you looked on Ebay for linen? Thats where I get mine and I don't like...

Re: What's everyone working on?
I just discovered this thread, and I should have posted this here instead of where I did. I made a snapsack out of some cotton canvas, and it worked rather well on the hike I tried it out on. The closure method for now is just a simple tie with some linen plied cord. I'd like to upgrade it to a togg...

Re: Overnight trip to test clothing
Thank you very much everyone!
Thanks for the link, I'll try to listen to that today and do some brainstorming.Tom_Ranger wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 10:36 pm Everything you have done looks great. As for what trade. I suggest a review from Kramer on the following video.

Day hike to test a snapsack
I recently made a canvas snapsack and went out on a day hike this weekend to test it out. We ended up doing just short of nine leagues, in a mixture of sun and rain, and I was very impressed with how well the snapsack carried the weight. I have a feeling it'll be great in summer, as it will allow fo...

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
Late to the party as usual. None of these two are slipjoints but if your new cheap option doesn't work out or you decide you want to upgrade to something a but more historical then Tod makes a few lovely little folders. I have one of his brass ones and it's just right. https://todcutler.com/collect...

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
If you're looking for a carbon steel slipjoint, you could also consider Spanish navaja knives, such as the Joker navaja de pistón or Pallares folding knife. Again, these have stamped branding like the Opinel, so I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker. The pallares ones do come in wood handles, but t...

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
As an additional option, I think I've seen some of the Godwin folders carried by other 18th c. vendors. I think sometimes they have modern nation of origin marks on the blades or are from stainless, so if you care it's worth checking before purchase. https://www.townsends.us/collections/knives-shea...
