Re: Dwarven Naming conventions

I've always thought because Dwarves have a single outer name and don't tend to have family names, Family names as a whole don't seem to proliferate outside of the Shire and Bree. Add to that we usually see singular Dwarves or smaller groups where there's no need to differentiate between them. It's ...

Re: Dwarven Naming conventions

Shes a skilled cutler and married...... But I am at a loss for a good Ick Australia is nickname ground zero, I've literally worked alongside people for over a year and didn't know their real names. Looking at Dwarven names there are only a handful that I can see, Ironfoot and Oakenshield being the ...

Re: White Handled Knife

Then Legolas gave into his hand his silver-hafted knife, his quiver and his bow I'm thinking that anything decorated with silver is usually more of a weapon than a tool, also I took a tour through the Lord of the Rings and it seems that the professor assigns the prefix 'long' to knives that are bei...

Re: Anyone cook a goose over their fire?

Late to the party so I assume your goose is cooked (never thought I would have a chance to use that in context) but a really simple way is to just hang it from string above your fire. I've done plenty of chickens and duck that way on an asado cross but have seen others do birds as large as turkey, y...

Re: Leather Pouches from scraps. Video Tutorial.

Video is quite well done, spacing and time lapses all work well. I notice you have quite a nice leather working toolbox. You could consider doing a small video explaining the tools and what's required there as your average novice may be looking at the bare minimum setup they would need to make somet...

Re: Hidden Depths

Thanks mate.... How are you getting on with the other work of fiction I sent you? Poorly! But only on account of not having begun. That's entirely on me, I've just had so much on my plate lately and I want to relish it and not do it at work or something stupid so I'm waiting for an alone moment in ...

Re: New utility/fighting knife

I just don't understand why they are allowed to confiscate and destroy stuff that's legal to own in the UK, surely that just counts as theft? It's due to ambiguous legal definitions. Anything that can be classified as a weapon is technically up for the ban treatment. Another term I hate is 'offensi...

Re: Quick trek

Eofor, thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much your words mean. I need a few more miles under my belt before I feel worth of such praise. Thankfully my auto immune disease seems to be in retreat, I've been crafting and am back in the gym building my strength and fitness back up. Pack walks sta...

Re: New utility/fighting knife

but the thing I can never understand is that he has successfully sent me a knife since, so sometimes it works and other times it doesn't?? It quite literally comes down to the person operating the X ray that day. If they decide to flag it then they do and others will just let it though. It's a horr...

Re: Southeast Ranger's Camp, May 19th-21st 2023, Dockery Lake, Georgia.

Eventually, I'll upgrade, but I've yet to find a forged grill that would work for me. I get it, and I understand your reasoning it just stood out a bit. Perhaps you might need to design and commission something yourself? Elleths little cookpot from Royal Oak is still one of my all time favourite th...

Re: On the planning of outings

Late sorry. A lot depends on who is attending and the event itself. We can organise a local event with our core members within a week or two as we know that all our kit and skills are on the same level but if we plan one several hours away in the snow with attendees we haven't had out on the trail w...

I'm over here failing to get out into my workshop meanwhile you're working on multiple portrayals in a tiny apartment.

All to a standard in both in research and execution that the rest of us can only strive for. Thank you for sharing.
