Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades hafting a pollockski, err, GI pick

kingston, it's a homemade kydex deal I whipped up.




thanks for putting up your pick-pic.

I done the little pollockski's big brother today...

Thanks for the pic of your iphone sheath. I need to make one...

How'd you get that dark flame finish on big brother's handle?

It was already an old dirty handle. I just sanded, flamed and oiled it.

Didn't notice the difference in head size 'til the side-by-each pic.

Now I see the reason for the shorter handle.

Yeah?
Well, I knew you was struggling and I did that just for you.......grin

i have one of those in the shed thats been needing a handle since i found it in my dads stuff.

rem, where are you?

Huntsman, nice pick axes; but, what kind of dog do you have in your picture?
Mike

red heeler/australian cattle dog

Which if treated correctly, is a badass dog....

Looks like you are not going anywhere without him coming along. Me thinks he won't let you out of his sight.

That is a great job, Don. I like seeing those old tools get put back to work.

PA. i am going to dig it out next weekend and order me a handle. i have a old can of BLO around somewhere too. its little projects like this that keep me from doing the stuff i am supposed to be doing around here. like when i spend all weekend doing a euro mount when my house is down to one bathroom and i got walls ripped out.

lol...

Thanks. It was helpful.
