Todays work,

One of gamekeeper's designs waiting on the Thera-Band, should be here tomorrow,
Posted Image
My own design, plywood ergo handle and some steel bar had left over from knife making, tried it out quite powerful,
but not as powerful as the hunter catty's I've seen on the net
Posted Image
just trying out the fit

and this one
Posted Image
this one needs longer bands but its a work in progress, I know none of these are the most beautiful pieces of work, but it is
my first attempt, hope you like
ATB, Jono
