Leif Labs on the trail

Here's Jess sporting a small pack and bike beverage holder:

Hummingbird feeder moat

Got ants in your feeder? Make a li'l moat for it with a plastic bottle. Drill a hole in the cap and thread a bolt through it. (I used a 13/64 bit for a 1/4 bolt.) Attach wire hooks, add water. Done.
This was leaking a li'l bit initially, but stopped. You can seal the hole with a washer fashioned from a bit of bike tube (in between the cap and the nut), or hot glue.

Production sewing

I just made a bunch of croozies, copilots, solos ... whatever you wanna calling 'em.
I'll be dispensing them this Saturday on the MKT trail. Any leftovers will be at Maude Vintage, downtown CoMo.

Pyramid of awesomeness.

Boone Dawdle Bag 4

Looks like I'm averaging about 1.5 bags a year right now. I think I'd just about forgotten how to make bags ... fortunately there's the Boone Dawdle to keep me in shape. This Saturday is the fourth annual Dawdle and the fourth bag I've made for it. And a mighty nice one, if I do say so myself.

Cordura nylon, acrylic-coated poly liner. 19x12", 13x6" bottom. Applique'd.

 Expandable main compartment, zippered pocket.

 Split strap, adjustable shoulder pad, cross strap.

Floating liner, removable back pad.

Zippered hip-pack

Working on a zippered hip-pack for Jenny's dad. Not a bad start...

Carving pouch

Just made a tool roll for my neighbor outta cotton canvas.
Above is the pouch he gave me to copy. The 1/2" cotton webbing on the original makes a nicer tie than the parachute cord I used. I'll have to get me some of that.

Keep those gouges cozy.

LL in the wild

Somewhere in Colorado...

Thanks, Bill!
