Kahel, your DIY skills are beautiful as well as practical. And I believe you are the first person ever to use the "spoiler" feature on this site, which I didn't realize Xenforo even had.
I like to use this funktion. This allowed me to show the "how to do or the making off" because there is sometime needet to show it
whithout bombing of the thread.

I also have something for those who can use a sewing machine.
A little tipi hat.
Everyone who has a teepee knows this. When it rains or snows, the entrance is always wet and later muddy.
What if you could attach a tarp to the tipi?
I made a tipi hat for this purpose, which is attached to the top of the pole ... and then I attach a tarp to it.
In this case it's a HELSPORT Gapahuk tarp.
It has the great advantage that the triangles on the sides provide additional weather protection.
Here is an example of the mounting problem ...

and here is the solution ...

This was for my HELSPORT Pasvik 4-6 with a mast height of 2.50 m. It worked well.

kahel your work looks first rate. Makes me I wish I knew how to work leather! One thing that interested me that I had never seen before is your tent stake puller. Looks very simple and very practical. I may "borrow" that idea!
please feel free to do so!
another "practical" thing is the Ground-Plate for my Tipi.
It is useed to standup the pole corectly as pitch the stakes with the measurment-cord corectly in shape.

and while we're on the subject of tipis ...
such a "teepee table" is also very quick to make.

It has been awhile since I have had the pleasure of being creative for a Christmas gift but this year we have a new canoeist in the house and I felt she needed her own paddle rather than using those of which are Christines or mine as she is much shorter than either of us.
So I purchased a store credit to Wilderness Supply in Winnipeg so she can get her own paddle.
The paddle in the gift has options, the cherry side means she can fully purchase a Grey Owl Cherry Paddle, or, if she chooses the black side, then she has the down payment on a carbon paddle.
The little carved paddle is made of cherry and is about 5" long.

I like to carve wood. Nothing fancy. I have made a few paddles. Sometimes I just find a piece in the wood pile and start hacking on it. I have made a lot of long handled spoons and pancake turners for use around the fire. I carve art work sometimes usually with PNW themes of Native art.
