* Mungo Says Bah * Bushcraft, Camping, Woodcraft, Outdoors Blog: 20 Minute Knife Sharpening Board Tutorial. This little project should take you about 20 minutes at most. Mors Kochanski recommends making one of these in his book 'Bushcraft' (of which I have a signed copy!)... I had all the ingredients needed in my basement: 600 grit wet and dry sandpaper, double-sided carpet tape, a scrap of wood for mounting the sandpaper, a cutting board (another scrap of wood), a pencil and a piece of paper. First of all, I applied two strips of double-sided carpet tape to the wood, ensuring the application was nice and flat. That is, I didn't overlap the tape, just kept the joint between it very close (about a 5th of a millimeter at most).
This is a pseudo-action picture, showing the tape cover being removed in a curly manner. Then I traced the wood with a mechanical pencil onto the rough side of the sandpaper. Then I carefully and evenly adhered the sandpaper roughly positioned over the wood. I flipped the wood over - and using a sheet of plywood - trimmed the sandpaper cleanly to the edges of the board.

Portail:Techniques. August 2010 | Wood Trails - Dave Brock. Learning to carve takes me back several decades when I was in elementary school. Remember those kid's in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade who were "revered" for their ability to draw great pictures during art class? Besides producing great pictures they always got special recognition from the teacher and everyone in the class. Even more than producing great art I believe that I envied their positive attention which became a motivator. Kids are no different today where positive attention for excellent work is a very strong motivation to succeed.
I noticed that the kid's (usually only one in the class) who produced that great art were the one's who were always drawing. I'm talking all the time. I believe that this early experience taught me that the only way to get better at something was to do it all the time. Back in the early 1990's I wanted to stretch my ability to the next level so I became obsessed with learning to carve face's... mainly woodspirit faces. * Mungo Says Bah * Bushcraft Blog: bushcraft. I was just looking over my Coke can camping stove tutorial and thought it might be a good time to post it again - it is such an easy stove to make, and lots of fun. Okay, following up on a post about emergency preparedness, picture this: your power has just gone out. It is the middle of winter, and the battery-powered radio reports that a major substation has suffered an outage due to iced-over power cables.
You are told to expect that power will return in no less than 7 days. So you get out all the blankets in the house, and warm up the bed. You find your 72 hour kit, first aid kit, candles, flashlights, your food supplies (some freeze-dried entrees and cans of food), water, radio and more. After all that fussing around, you decide you want a nice cup of coffee and a hot meal. I was at a dollar store the other day wandering around the aisles. I saw a pile of Fondu Fuel bottles containing denatured alcohol and had a little ponder. Now this is a very simple little stove. Cheers, Mungo. Hand stitching a piece of leather.
