Few DIY projects to pass the winter

[philintheblank]

Figured I would post a few projects I have completed over the last little while.

Made a few game bags for deboned meat

Some gear pullouts out of scrap material from another project.

Wanted to go the disposable blade route, but didn't want to pay the Havalon prices. found a decent stainless steel scalpel handle on Amazon for $15 and drilled a couple holes in it for extra grip, the weight savings were negligible. Got a pack of Havalon blades on sale at the local shop.

Also made an MOA turret ring for my Swaro Z5 because I can justify spending almost $200 that they want to a custom turret. I think longer term I am gonna try hitting up someone with a 3D printer to make a few up.

Got a few more projects on my mind, but the honey-do list needs some attention too.

Very cool, I like the custom ring did you print that?

 

[philintheblank]

Yup, Had to print it in multiple sizes to get the hash marks to line up properly

I didn’t know generic scalpels interchanged with havalon—nice work! Thanks for sharing.

The Havalon blades were a little stiff the first few times in put them in/ took them off.

What material did you use for the game bags?

Good ideas.

Some basic uncoated ripstop. Fairly breathable and the blood washes out easy. Number 8 zipper for the top

Havalon actually sells a scalpel handle for the blades. Its like 2 dollars. FYI.

2.50 for blue one. 7 for stainless version. It is hard to find you have to look under taxidermy tools on their drop down.
