For our hunting and camping trips and because we will be attending more and more sports shows selling our bow holders and broadhead sharpening guides , we need a bit more security in the long bed of our truck (8 foot bed). We looked at tonneau covers and didn't care for the fabric versions as...

Yesterday, my son and I were doing testing on a new type of arrow fletching we are designing when another round of smelly field carp (former arrow fletching donator) interrupted the testing. I grabbed the camera still attached to the tripod and got in their face to run them off before they...

Im making a new set of single bevel broadheads the upcoming WI bear hunt. The main blade will be made from a 7 1/4" circular saw blade and aluminum broadhead adapters. Since they are aluminum I can use a micro saw and a Dremmel tool to cut the slots. Then it was back to the...

The Remington Model 721 was first made in 1948 and had a production run of only 14 years but it really is a fantastic rifle. This particular 721 is chambered in 30-06 and was made in 1957 and like most rifles has an interesting tale. This one however could be called the “Lazarus”...

I enjoy making my own arrows. Ive been making them for about 35 years. While I enjoy compounds and recurves,, I also make my own longbows and my own broadheads to hunt with. Likewise I make my own cedar arrows. I took a few pictures of the last batch I am working on. This not the ONLY way to...

While I have made a lot of knife sheaths and handgun holsters they have all been made from leather. This will be my first attempt at making a Kydex holster. Im making this for my son. He bought a Sig Sauer 1911 and wanted Kydex rather than leather so it was time to learn how. Im using .090...

I Stumbled upon these Colt historical prints and other vintage colt paperwork in an old trunk. Heavy embossed paper and that smell of old books. Kind of neat. Then I did a little poking around on the web and found this site where had this set and sold them at auction...

I was asked to make a pair of leather Chopper mittens for a UW Wisconsin Badger fan. I will make these a two tone design using split cowhide suede for the palms and cow leather tanned to look like buckskin for the backs. The removable liners will be fleece with a Wisconsin Badger pattern.. Here...

Ive wanted to learn to make snowshoes for some time but never got around to it. Now is the time I guess. Before I make actual sized and wearable shoes I will start by making half scale versions. Here is the process Im using as I learn about steam bending wood. Im using oak since Ash is hard to...

Last year I got into decoying deer with 3 life sized decoys. (see thread) http://ronkulas.proboards.com/thread/233/oscar-imposter-dolly-doe It was fun and added another level of satisfaction to my bowhunting but at the same time it was for work and more stuff to haul in and out of the...

I was contacted by a fellow from another forum and asked to make a sheath for a sword he bought. I had never made a sheath for a sword before so I decided to take on the job. He asked me to make a leather sheath for his Cold Steel “Gladious” sword. (see link)...

Not every project needs to be a sewing project. Some projects have a little more testosterone. I have several projects requiring welding so when welders went on sale at Farm and Fleet I was all over it. I got a tank of 75/25 gas as well. There is a local steel place that sells every shape and...
