Looking to work for you guys by mail - new and no tools!

(1/3) > >>

Tetsuoh:

Okay I'm sure you've all seen me around here by now, but if you haven't - Hello and Greetings!

I'm Tet, a new member to the boards and a wannabee primitive!

I am interested in just about everything but primarily archery and wilderness survival at the moment.

I'm looking on getting into making self bows and arrows, and bone tools and maybe even a bit of leatherwork and knapping.

BUT I have no real tools or materials!

SO! I hereby offer my services in whatever off the wall crafts and I can do in exchange for whatever you all can see fit to toss my way.

I often make hemp/fiber necklaces and can weave pretty darn well and even know how to crochet to a certain extent.
I can sew (as well as cook and clean  :P), and I used to be a pretty good design artist when I was younger (used to make tribal tattoo designs).

There's more I'm sure but long story short, I'm looking for some people nice enough to cut me a break.
And to all reading this, if your not willing to send something to someone you don't know, your not gonna hurt my feelings.
I understand fully well that I'm basically unknown and my skills are meager at the moment.

On request I can supply pictures of what little I can do.

Let me know,
~Tet

JW_Halverson:
I have a smaller sized, but aggressivly toothed rasp, plus a few other basic tools.  I might be able to come up with a roughed out bowstave for you, too.

What can you do for a stylized general raptor design?  I'm looking for something to get done in silhouette on the back end side windows in the Jeep. 

I'll try to throw together what tools and a bowstave for you this weekend.  Sending you a p.m.

sleek:
Too bad you are in Ohio, but if you ever head towards tulsa, I would be happy to fire up the forge and help you make a knife for your bow making. Winter time is my favorite time to make knives.... the forge keeps you comfy.

wildman:
PM me your address. I have alot of unused odds and ends.

Tetsuoh:
Wild was nice enough to send me some stone, and a tine to start working on learning knapping along with some other things. TY again Wild!

Now I just need a bilet (can probably make one from the scrap maple branches we got.) and any tools I'm forgetting - is that leather cusp I see others using to flake a necessity or recommended?

I'm working on something for JW, which may net me a file and/or a stave.

In the meantime I'm working on getting pics up of some necklaces and other things I have for trade.

I'm now looking for some bone, sinew, and hides - any size - even squirrel works atm. (fur on or off doesn't matter)

The hides are because I want my first string to be a rawhide string but I could still use a string anyway for tillering, and a lb gauge.
(yes I am THAT lacking in tools.)

I really need to get some wood to work still. Staves and shafts. I have found both but am not allowed to gather at present.
