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.

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.

Taking a break.

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

Higher, more ergonomic table.

Mountain dulcimer.

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

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

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

Bodhrans.

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

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

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

The sacred connection.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

My traveling bucksaw.

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.

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

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

And I added a leather thong.

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

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

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

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.
