 Building
Outdoor Gear
How
to make sporting equipment that will meet the demands of the
serious outdoor person.
Outdoor people don’t make their own gear to save money.
The fly fisherman who ties his own flies or makes her own
rods will readily admit, if they are honest, that they have
more money tied up in inventory and tools than they would
ever have spent on store-bought flies or fly rods. The same
is true for the handloader who puts together ammunition for
hunting or for target practice, or the duck hunter who carves
his/her own decoys. Economy isn’t the objective; it
is the satisfaction of making something and then seeing it
do what it was designed to do. And, they will argue, what
they make is better than what they can buy. And, they are
right!
Besides the great outdoor equipment you can build from this
book there is detailed information on the use of epoxy technology – the
greatest boon to the outdoorsman since the birch bark canoe.
Cane seats have been used by outdoorsmen for many years.
A chapter is devoted to this old time craft so you can create
your own comfortable outdoor seats as well as repair some
old chairs that have been stored in the attic. Sprinkled
through the chapters in this book are hints, tips, ideas
and recipes that will make your days outdoors more enjoyable
and productive.
