Head out into the woods I guess

Iodo - Your foam mattock looks not unlike the one I've been considering making. The size of the head and a nice two handed shaft seem about right for an end product something like a shepherds axe. I'd post a photo but damned if I can figure out how on this forum. A thought I had about this a while ...

Those are the only two written sources I've ever been able to find of the dwarven war mattock, in The Hobbit movie Bofur carried something that's almost a mattock, hammer on one side and adzi on the other - discussed on this thread: https://www.ranger.budgetauthenticity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&a...

I am sorry to hear that you are out of work at the moment. That is a very hard part of all of this. I may not like my job very much, but I am thankful that we are still working It's OK because I still live with my parents so I'm not stuck without money, and both of them have jobs they can do from h...

those look cool, and that top one also looks like it could be worn under a hood

cool, thanks for the info, the only thing I'm likely to do is one night trips, so I'm guessing I should be able to keep stuff dry by rolling it inside a tarp, and building a shelter, for one night I probably won't have an issue

I'm influenced by modern camping but I would have thought a blanket shouldn't get wet, if it were rolled up inside a b...

skirts can be a good source of wool, I've already used up the linen you sent, I'll post that project at some point

Is this, by any chance, the wool you sent me with your gift exchange package

i sure wish i could find it from a local source but that has yet to happen... I know the feeling, I can get some wool's from a local upholstery warehouse (the place doesn't look anything like it would sell that kind of thing but they stock a little bit, have you looked to see if there's anything si...

Looks great! I think the pattern makes it a little more unique to you! Been rereading the hobbit and it seems like each dwarf had a hood that was a color of their choosing... Dr green to scarlet red... Cant wait to get to make a good clothes like this! Thanks so much :P This is a really simple proj...
