LordWilson Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Ive been doing a lot of work on my kit lately. I just finished a hammock. The ringbolt is done in cock's combing with some tarred marline. I roped the bottom of my ditty bag. I also made a sheath for my knife and marlin spike, and hitched my needle case. The knife sheath is canvas painted with several coats of spar varnish, then French hitched with some turks heads too, and painted over with more varnish. The fid I made form hickory but the seam rubber I purchased. The hat was made for me by a friend. The penny knife is an original from the 19th C and given to me by a friend.
