Here's a few items that I've made in the past year and all on the cheap.
About $15 in the shooters bag, $12 in the horn and strap, the neck knife and belt knife are made from an old circular saw blade with cherry wood handles from the scrap pile and the sheaths are just left over leather pieces, the ball bags are from a leather scrap bag bought from Tandy many years ago, the short starters and loading blocks are from scrap wood (man I have a lot of scrap!! hdslp) and the nipple pick is made from a little piece of Bodarc and an old fish hook shank so there might be $1 or $2 in the rest of the stuff.
Everything may not be totally PC and certainly not up to the quality of some of the stuff I see posted here but it all works and I enjoyed making it. I'm thinking next will be a more rustic bag and maybe another horn (or 2).
The rifle is my old CVA .50 Mountain rifle that I totally refurbished last summer.

Late reply since I am a noob here. Nice looking stuff and, as probably most here will agree, The fun is in the makin! A concept all our children should be taught.
Teach todays children, not always easy...but had to show my grandson how to restitch second sole on his new (my old)
mocs after a week on the AZ desert. That kid seems to really be taking to the old ways with me.
Had to have his kindle for after hours at camp, but no video games at least. Shot black powder for the first time last week and didn't want to stop....6 day of matches and wanted more..all traditional and some primative. (he liked it best).
Junior shooter at NMLRA WNS for a week..
