    thats what i was thinking, having had a closer look at whats in the kit. Thats a cracking web site though I have been looking for leather bags for ages and those ones are quite resonable, allthough not sure of the quality.

    That looks a handy little tool, might show that to my handy man neighbour, it looks quite simple to make as well. Any idea what grade steel that would be or would i just ask for mild steel?

    It is a common misspelling. Kuksa is the Finnish word, In Norway and Sweden the traditional wooden cup is kalled a kåsa. In the Sami language the word is guksi.
    A special Danish version, made in with no handle and often a silver rim, is called a bolle or masur bolle, if made in (imported) curly birch.

    Personally I find the Sami term guksi the most charming

    I can't see them on their website either, but they had them in my local store. I bought four seeing as they are so cheap
