Time for another giveaway. Batoning with a Becker was brought up in another thread so lets do that. But while batoning alone is fun enough, not so for a picture contest. So....build a log cabin by batoning.

I wanna see at least four pictures and they must include a pic of the logs and your Becker, your Becker splitting said wood, your completed cabin (bonus style points for doors and windows and chimneys etc), then light it on fire (I don't care how. Soak it in gas if ya want to). Don't cheat and use glue or things like that. Just notches and ingenuity. Think Lincoln logs. Bonus points for using raw materials but you can use logs cut from a chainsaw in your wood pile if ya want.

This will run for a few weeks, Lets say 3. You need to use a Becker (borrow one if you don't have one). No beckerhead status required. Chat all ya want. O yeh and the winner gets the batoning king. A becker bk9. Go!



PS not affiliated or endorsed by Becker knife and tool, Kabar, BladeForums, or anyone else. Must be of legal age to own a knife and must do so at your own risk. I assume no responsibility for anything you break or hurt.

hmm, with finals getting done soon... I'll actually have time for this... This sounds like a really potentially interesting. I'm waiting for bmauser to come in and make a life size one, held together with his back hair or something...

The trick will be to find some wood around my apt that hasn't been previously obliterated by my team of beckers.

Any chance if I do manage to win this thing that the prize could be changed to a BK7, or perhaps a tweener or two? (Seeing how I already have a 9 :D).
 
Clich you are nuts! And yes I will be trying this for sure. What's the size requirement? I have to build it in my living room but I will transfer it to light it up.

No size requirements at all. Bigger the better I'd say tho. It comes down to how it looks and style not size. Hell if you can baton a log down to toothpicks and make a mini house that'd be good too. Or even a summer home at the lake that'd be even better :D your choice
 
Oh man I'm getting way too many ideas! I am going to start by the weekend!

Haha Great idea! I was just going to weave a rug or something boring like that.:D
 
Thats an even better idea! I bet clich would give huge bonus points for a finished interior :D.

Sorry man, I just had to throw that in there :).

My next thread may well start out with "I broke my Remora..." :D Not going to say I'm in until I find out how effective this is going to be, and if I can get wood from somewhere to baton. Downside to living in the middle of the city I guess.
