    Leather Dice Bag Prototype

    I saw a dice bag that looked like a D20 die on one of those overseas web sites. Not wanting to support the communists, I figured I'd make my own version. I plan to make a few as gifts to my gaming friends and family, but I'll use a thicker leather since the thin stuff I used for the prototype...

    Last weekend, Mrs. Sparky surprised me with a Knife Forging class where I took half a horseshoe and turned it into a knife in 3 hours. The blade turned out OK (instructor provided initial bevels are uneven, too much steel on one side of the blade, and the blade's a bit too thick), but the...

    Restoring an old Estwing Hatchet and making a new sheath for it.

    Decided to bring my dad's old Estwing hatchet back to life. It spent about a decade in his truck box (that apparently was not watertight) and was pretty rusted. Mostly surface with some minor pitting. I didn't get any before pics, but the handle was pretty gnarly with cracking and the leather...

    Just started a new tradition: Generator Preparedness Day

    I've decided that the last Saturday of September will be my Generator Preparedness day. Cleaning the spark plug, checking the gap, checking the oil, draining and refilling with fresh fuel, and running it for at least 20 minutes with a load on it (garage freezer) to make sure it's ready when and...
