So, ther are many off these BBs that I cant do for different reasons like the fact that I live off grid or climate etc. Can we submit a similar project that displays the same types of skills but are suited for my environment and lifestyle and still recieve credit?

Here's how I made one of my mallets it's a simple enough process and requires very basic tools. I hope this helps:

Right on..that's the beauty of making your own tools. You make them for you, and dont worry what other people think, as long as it's functional for you.

There is something to be said for craftsmanship however.

Thanks, I can put up photos, but they'll probably just be stills from the video lol.

You have to complete all the "Badge Bits" for the Badge you want. Badge Bits are tasks that (1) Create a tangible product, (2) Can be documented with pictures and/or video, (3) Teach a skill through doing it.


I believe that my post meets all these criteria. Again, not trying to be difficult but there seems to be contradictory criteria.

I don't mean to be difficult, but I thought I saw an a PEP post somewhere that video was ok and I thought it would be more thorough than just 3 pics.
