Okay, I went outside began the Atlatl project. I have now to find time the the editing part. Haven't tried it because I need to build the dart.

As I've lost my Mora n°164, I've ordered a new one for the Kuksa (hard to find here). But i've gathered a nice piece of birch for it.

Thank you all for the video already posted!

I don't have a tree around me big enough to build the cup..maybe i will find some thing else to do if i can find like some fire wood to practice the technique....maybe ill do something related to my area for you guys. maybe how to make a bow drill with this one type of yucca tree that grows around here.

[LowBudgetBushcraft]

I'm gonna get started this weekend. I can actually work on this one during lunch break. Thanks SkogKniv for posting.

[RDPproject]

As im in australia...would the australian version of the Atlati be considered?

Its called a Woomera (spear-thrower)

It works exactly the same as the Atlati.

[SkogKniv]

Sure why not. It is just a name for it. I am sure it has several version throughout the world. Can't wait to see it!

[RDPproject]

Im going camping out bush on dec 25 to jan 2nd. So may not be able to enter the challenge.

[hobbexp]

i have see a guy from australian use a woomera befor,

he was really good,

i think the only big difference was how he

hold it, good be fun to see,, :0)

[mazadan]

the challenge is a good one but i have no handy cam. i can do stills and make a slide show if that would be expedient........oddly it was on my mind to make a Kuska ..........

[SkogKniv]

You can take many images of the progression of the project, and still make a nice video.

[DrChrisBiomed]

Aha, we call it a "kåsa" (pronounced "cosa"), nice challenge!

[SkogKniv]

Usually we see it as Kuksa.

[DrChrisBiomed]

That's why I didn't find it, thought it was spelt "cooksa".

Wikipedia:

Kuksa (or Northern Sami: guksi/guksie; Swedish: kåsa), is a traditional work of Sami duodji, it is a type of drinking cup made by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia from carved birch burl.

[SkogKniv]

Looks like you found it =)

[woodminder]
