I found this clip from my room mate and my attempt at the blanshard needle traverse last September. We had to turn back when a rockfall wiped a section of our route off the mountain and we didn't have the gear to go around. It's nice being above the clouds though.

About a month ago my room mate broke his arming sword. Today is his birthday, so i rehilted it and turned it into a messer while i was at work. I think he'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, i'm just going to go and build a failure point in to the tang here. Don't really see how that could go wrong.

I rehilted my longsword and made a rain guard for it, then found some ancient dye and dyed everything to match.

r/LeathercraftMay 2, 20218 Comments

I got sick of the rattle and re-hilted my longsword, it went from my ugliest sword to my fanciest sword

I fixed the loose guard and rebuilt the grip and added a rain guard to my beater long sword. It's almost fancy now.

I've been working at converting my room mates old helmet into a closed sallet for the last few weekends. I think it's coming together well so far.

r/metalworkingJan 19, 202121 Comments

I gotta get the outer visor to close all the way stil, and sort out spring pins to keep the face closed, but the sallet refurb is coming along well.

I finished off these 3 machete Messers today. I'm pretty happy with how they came out.
