LOL – I remember when my Dad’s business partner first got one of those installed in his car (a Ford Ranchero, no less…). It was the first time I’d ever seen a portable phone, and it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.
But back on track, I think this is a great idea for a thread. I know we have some very talented people on this site, and I’d love to see their handiwork. I don’t make as much of my own archery gear as I would like, but I bang out a batch of string keepers now and then, along with putting my own leather grips on my longbows, etc.
But one of these days, I’m going to build my “dream quiver” incorporating all the good ideas I’ve seen, but have never seen all in one place. Now I just need to find the time, the skills and the materials…8)
Oh, and I’m currently working on carving a spoon…

Make it a SPOORK, Bruce and you kill 2 birds with one stone! 😀
Only thing I think I have made worth sharing might be this modified back quiver…
I cannot, for the life of me, reach over my shoulder to pull out an arrow, let alone put one back… if I tried that with a BH, I’d stab myself in the calf… shoulders don’t go in that direction so this suits me.
Reach back along my kidney, slip shaft up, and out… no excessive movement… made a 4 arrow and a larger one, just in case I expect to get into a “firefight” with a bow! 🙄
That last pic ought to give Mr. DP a stroke…talk about too much stuff! Hey, it was COLD… I packed extra clothes, my seat and some grub.
Don’t make a lot of gear, but I do alter a lot of what I get to make it last or try to “improve” it…

I’m tellin ya, you NEED a SPork!
Just stop it with the ‘spork’ talk, Doc. Those hybrid implements are for urban hipsters in neatly-rolled up jeans and $200 flannel shirts dabbling in glamping, not for woodsmen. Can you imagine Fred Bear, Art Young or Jim Bridger for that matter, saying, “hey guys, check out this neat spork I brough along?”
Here’s another handy thing I made a while back –
I don’t typically go walking around with a hatchet on my hip, but it’s pretty handy when you’re working in a particular spot like limbing a tree, and don’t want to keep putting your hatchet down and then having to go back and get it again.
Handy for hanging it up when you’re done, too:

Here’s a couple of back quivers I made, my old side quiver and couple smaller goody bags.
The little bag has aspirin and Benedryl in a contact lens case.
I never have a hangover but I know some that do. 😀 Benedryl comes in handy for insect sting relief. Also if given in addition to aspirin to those hungover it make’em sleepy and they quit, I’m gonna say, complaining. 😀 You know what I’m thinkin without me sayin. 😉
