Next up, it's our famous 'Make Your Own Stool' workshop! You'll learn how to use round wood to make a rustic stool, using traditional tools - like a shavehorse, drawknife, hand drills and tennon cutters - to make the different components and assemble the frame, before weaving the seat.

Yeah finally traced down what must be the last 106 blade in uk, had to add a few wee other things to justify the postage 😬, seriously though mora knives as well as the blades seem to be out of stock all over at the moment, I’ll be handling these and making bespoke sheaths for sale soon I hope, but if you in the market and looking for one sooner checkout latest post she has 2 106 blades and is ready to handle them ASAP, she makes lovely handles for blades from a wide range of blade smiths also check her Instagram.

Three sloyd knife wood/leather sheaths done, can’t decide wether I prefer the puukko full leather wrap or the half wrap style.

Day 4 of the @ Barrhead

2 of the leather and wood insert sheaths done, stitching was crap on the turning sloyd sheath one so it got a 2 tone dye job, stitching a lot better on the 106 sheath but cut the leather to required length when it was wet and I’ve ended up with a gap on the insert 🤦🏼.
Red 0.8mm Slam thread from and 2mm leather from leprevo.
