What would I do in Norway?

I´n not exactly a carpenter...(My grandad was, but I don´t think it´s genetic)

Well it seems Barbara is a bit of a slagg....She is the patron saint of many services, mine inkluded...

I started of with alot of googling and ended up with buying "the traditional bowyers bible" 1-4. Great books on how to build bow´s... You don´t need much tool´s and wood is pretty much dirt sheap.(exotic wood´s not so sheap.) A good hatchet, some files and rasps a cabinet-scraper and lots ...

Well, Alex I think the guys that did this have a website were you can downloas all parts. Try Google....

The axe was made by a guy I served with about 10 years ago.....I think hi´s name was Kruger and he was from Hova. Try googel

Hate to say it but that is art......

Once more to the breach, my friends...Yep a English archer in those days had to be able to fire a minimum of 6 aimed arrows per minute(.50" shafts, 500 grain arrows) ranges up to 300 yards... So 5000 archers letting go of 6 vollies per minute gives you 30,000 aimed arrows per minute... It gener...

So did you make that folding knife Will?
Finaly managed to see the battle-axe... Nice little thing tho...

Next is a new Ash-bow for the kid´s...

Sorry for my absence but I´w been making this beauty... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/Amatol/P5030043.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/Amatol/P5030044.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/Amatol/P5030045.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/Amatol/P5030049.jpg http://i...

Some tips on navigation: Get a compass or a spinner of some sort with the hedings written down (helps with orientation). I made one out of one of the clear plastic disc´s that come in a stack of CD´s where I wrote down a big N,E,S,W in the right places and topped it of with oposit directions in smal...

I don´t use the X-52, but I´m a south paw aswell. I have no problem with using my right hand on the stick(I´t feel´s like it´s someone else doing the stick-wiggling )


I find the X-42 a good stich/hotas so the 52 should be a good thing if the price is right...

God Jul! Till er alla.....

Nice, I´ll have one when you can spare the time....
