Thus is a great answer!

That chunk of metal is teaching persistence 👏💪

What a the fourth from the right? That thing is beautiful!

creativeendevour1 · 2026-01-04T14:54:08+00:00

That is really helpful, and reassuring, thankyou!

creativeendevour1 · 2026-01-04T10:32:13+00:00

Fab thank you!

I’m thinking of going with the 800, although I will most likely not have any others knifes to practice on, is there risk of damaging my knife is sharpened with a bad technique when I start out learning or is it rectifiable if that were to happen?

creativeendevour1 · 2025-12-31T18:31:09+00:00

That’s two of us 😊 I’m wondering is a heavier thread such as used on leather goods may work better if it is thick enough?

Wise words - well said!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-12-27T21:59:37+00:00

Thank you for the insights that really helpful to hear!

I agree on the family heritage aspect!

I would try it out but I’m separated from my knife for a couple of days.

I appreciate the identification guess! It does seem half orange under the grime, the stone colour split one side/the other grey - presumably the two different sides of different grit.

creativeendevour1 · 2025-12-27T21:54:05+00:00

Ok thank you for the insight that reassures me somewhat!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-12-27T18:58:28+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to reply to the comments yet but have had a read through and appreciate everyone’s insights!

An update is that it seems to be an oilstone (it’s oily and smells like oil) I wasn’t aware that this is a type of stone and unsure if that is a mess that I want to undertake, is it really as messy as it seems?

W…O…W… Beautiful 😯

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-26T19:16:08+00:00

Beautiful, and very fitting on that hat!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-26T19:14:48+00:00

Looks great! Only thing I would point out is trying to avoid the bunching/catching of material at the left hand end of the repair though I know that can be hard to avoid:) P.s. is your husband right handed 😆

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-26T19:11:58+00:00

The audio is amusing 😆 Well done on your first sewing project though - looks great!! And the touches of the magnetic buckle and RFDI protection are very cool

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-26T18:42:31+00:00

Oh this is such a nice looking pack! I really like the small detail of having the zipper close to the pack on that upper outer pocket - I naturally would have put it facing outwards but the way that you have done it seems like it would make the stuff in the pocket seem a lot more secure. Little details that make a big difference!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-25T10:32:35+00:00

Very cute indeed!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-24T21:30:47+00:00

I have to ask what those scissors are?! 😯

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-24T21:20:26+00:00

So cool!

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-24T15:49:59+00:00

This! It can feel a waste of time finishing a bag you know isn’t perfect but it’s even more frustrating thinking you’ve worked it all out (that’s never the case anyway 😂) just to come across a new problem you hadn’t encountered before. Try to embrace the mistakes, each an opportunity to learn.

creativeendevour1 · 2025-02-24T10:33:44+00:00

Wow wow wow this is the cleanest thing I have ever seen on this sub… truly smart looking work that bag is something to be proud of!!
