Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Or just click the image to get to the gallery.

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

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

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

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

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

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

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

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

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

The sacred connection.

Higher, more ergonomic table.

And I added a leather thong.

Taking a break.

The author with his antler-fork walking stick and his dog begging for a walk.

My traveling bucksaw.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

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.

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.

Bodhrans.

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

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.

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

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

Bodhrans.

Mountain dulcimer.
