Fixing Kuksa and new DIV gear 

Hi Tom and friends, I like the wood grain of that kuksa, it is easy to understand why you purchased it. The repair of the crack is distinctive: like each of us we have our own blemish but are still useful. Your cutting board and salt and pepper dispenser suit your temperament, so enjoy their use and the delicious food you create. Hello to you all from Greg in Thailand

Hello Tom. Excellent idea to use the resin to repair the small crack in your new Kuksa. It’s a very nice Kuksa and I’m glad you were able to repair it. I really like the salt & pepper container and the new cutting board. They will go very well with the spoons, spatula, fork and Kuksa you have made. You have made a very nice old school cooking kit. You are a man of many talents Tom! I am always inspired by the projects that you come up with and how well you are able to bring them to life. Thank you for sharing your video. Best wishes to you and your family. Have a great week my friend!

Mercy Tom, not only are you very skilled but also very inventive! You give us all inspiration to try our own projects. I guess that I cheat a little because I use a dremel rotary tool at home and work in a shop where I have access to table saws, band saws, etc. Great video my friend, I enjoyed watching and I'm truly impressed. Please tell mrs Tom hello and give Cornelius a good scratch.Thanks Tennessee

The kuksa is absolutely superb, Tom: you can be proud of the job you have done

A natural repair to a natural item, perfect....

Good one Tom, you did a great job on repairing your kuska. That is strait up ol school for sure. That one thing among many that we have in common "ol school" we both love it. I am like you , I repair and reuse and keep on doing it until it is finally no good anymore. Give my regards to your family and please be sure to give Cornelius a big hug for me......

i like youre salt and pepper container and your board and leather sleeve. good job tom

Nice repair 👍. However, the point of the crack will always be a high stress area and liable to perhaps run further at a later stage. Not aesthetically the best option, but drilling a small hole through the Kuksa slightly in advance to the crack before sealing will stabilise it. Just an idea 😊.

Great tip for fixing a crack in a Kuksa. Thanks and take care.

Hello Mr. C The wood grain in that Kuksa is very cool. I hope the repair is strong. The cutting board is great but the salt & pepper is awesome. Always a pleasure to see what your doing. Atb to You and your Wife Hunt

Tom , it all turned out well thanks to your injinuity. Plate turned out awesome, you have very good ideas !

Nice repair on the Kuksa, Tom. The other small item you made are awesome.

This is so cool! All four things are just great! Very nice job salvaging your Kuksa, it now has some character to it. Salt and pepper shakers are just so neat! Plate is really cool with the handle out of antler and lastly the leather plate cover is typical nice work done by you Tom. VERY COOL my friend! My best wishes to all of you over there, you Tom, Gitte and Cornelius! Bibsoutdoors

Your new kuksa has a beautiful grain to it ,what a pity it had a crack develop , nice job on the repair

Good afternoon from Scotland. As a fellow leathercrafter and "maker of things!" I enjoyed the video …. I particularily liked the salt and pepper pot … that's a cool idea, well done. Stay well and atb Jim

my brother walked into the room right as you were melting the resin on the spoon and he asked me in a very surprised tone "is that dude melting down drugs?!" hahaha. great video, very helpful!

Great Repair information. That is a lovely Kuksa

Tom very clever, great projects.

Love the cutting board & holster!

Nice work, also the crack makes it more unique.

I think it adds character Tom, plus it makes it a little bit more "yours". The antler salt and pepper container is very cool! Well done my friend. 👍🏻

Super video I really like your crafts !

Thank you for a fantastic video. Wonderful craft

Beautiful, Tom U make excellent utensils for your adventures

Very nice projects! Thank you for sharing!

A nice cutting board, the handle is a nice touch.

Excellent projects my friend! I especiallylike the cutting board which could also be a sandwich board! Thanks for sharing your time and talents Tom!

Hola ..eres un genio..como arreglaste. .la kuksa..me encantó también la tabla de madera con su funda ..para cortar verduras ....cada video tuyo me enseña mucho ...Gracias ..por compartir..👍👏

I like the repair! It should be fine for whiskey!!! Such a good looking Kuksa I'm glad you could repair it. I love the other things you've made, you are very creative and do a nice job!

Very nicely made. Thank you for the inspiration.

The crack gives it character, nice repair job. 👏👏👏👏 Excellent chopping board!

Lovely items Tom ...great idea using the resin to repair the Kuksa ..I have a few cracks in a couple of bowls that I've carved and will give it a try. Thank you buddy 😊🐺

Another nice video Tom the last thing you need is your whiskey escaping from your kuksa. ☺

Very nice all ; ) The kuksa looks even more cool n 'ol school with das crack .

hi tom, special work! great example that it does not always have to be new and expensive and perfect to score here

Hi Tom, Cracks add character, and I really like the plate. Thanks!

Excellent solutions!

Hello friend! I can give you an interesting idea. :) Collect the resin from the tree, melt it and fill the crack. The resin should keep hot water. When you're soaking the mug, heat it up, too. Then the resin will not cool sharply and will be able to fill the entire gap. Good luck.

Clever! Using the resin like that, it’s a beautiful kuksa with a nice shell like pattern inside it.

Great stuff as usual!

Wonderful video! Thanks for taking us along! Stay blessed

Nice job, thanks for sharing Tom!

great video again Tom, your craftsmanship and ideas are brilliant to watch keep up the good work my friend

Great job on the repair and I like the things you made very much. they look very nice and oldschool bushcraft like. :)

Hi Tom Good job

Great job on the fix! The items you made look amazing!

Very well done my.friend, you are an amazing craftsman.

Nice job good work Ed’s Nature Bishcraft.

Associated Kuksa's with ice fishing, was a little puzzled when I saw people using them when not ice fishing! I'll own one when I can make one, when time allows.

great video

Exelent video. Perhaps you could stop the crack by making a small hole in the infirior part of it and then seal it. Good luck

Unfortunate crack in the kuksa but a great skill with the hand crafted items tom

Great job on your cup. Also your salt and pepper shaker along with the cutting board. Do you sell any of your work?

it all adds character,

Excellent. Chao

Tom, where did you get the Viking pendant you have on in this video? It's really cool! I'm' thinking that would make a nice gift for me from my wife.

Wow just found and subbed to your channel you are very skilled I hope to be there someday thanks for sharing.

Hello I'm watching some of your previous videos. How is the repair on the kuksa working? I thought you carved a kuksa yourself? Nice items you made!👍✌

A good way of repairing cracks in wood is epoxy resin mixed with suitable colour sawdust.

Ver y good!!! Like

Nice video, thank you 🙏 👊Where did you get the resin?

You can fix it by melting ressen and mix in black char wood Crushed into powder and. Mixed With the fessen

Hi Tom, I’m hoping you can help, I e just made my first Kuksa and a love the shape of it but unfortunately it dried too fast and as split. Is there anything that I can use to seal up the hole that will still allow me to drink HOT drinks from it. Thanks as always, Ant 👍
