Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Design was kept as short as possible for transport. The cross bolt where the arm hinges is a salvaged bolt from an old truck spare tire holder.

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

Argh! A moment of distraction means the snap of a stone bit!

Replicated woven sandals from the Southern High Plains and the greater Southwest. Produced from narrow-leaf yucca.

Willow pack basket I made several years ago. The straps were obviously new then.

My traveling bucksaw.

My Portmanteau. 18th Century style, it has become my favorite overnight bag.

Bodhrans.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

The bench’s small size will allow it to pack easily into the truck, even holding items in the tills.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

Dopp kit and some leather working tools I use to create items like this.

Taking a break.

The little table has many miles on it now and doesn’t look this pretty at all. I’m actually in the midst of refinishing it and will post pictures sometime soon.

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

Bodhrans.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

Mountain dulcimer.

And I added a leather thong.

The sacred connection.

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

Tools, clockwise from lower left: large awl, sewing awl, rivercane needle case, bone toothpick, sewing needles in center.

Treadle lathe turned bowl and plate made by Mick Robins in spaleted alder (I think). The spoon is Osage orange carved by me.

Higher, more ergonomic table.

An overview of traveling gear. I see this format on the web a lot so I’m stealing the style from far batter photographers than I.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.
