  1. That's a good idea. I use to just put a small piece of leather under the clamps. Those hobby lobby clamps work great tho. There's like 30 or so clamps in a pack for I think $10. Not a bad deal.
  2. I bought a bag of those clear plastic little leather clamps at hobby lobby. They work pretty good for not leaving clamp marks.
  3. Very nice! That's a lot of stitching. That's the only thing that keeps me from wanting to make a belt. I figure I would have to have at least 20' or more of thread to keep from tangling up while hand stitching.
  4. My first thought also. Lol
  5. That is really nice! If I may ask, where did you get the pattern for that. I'd love to make one for one of my rifles.
  6. That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
  7. Ouch, hope you get to feeling better. Thanks for the response!
  8. That's the size I like mine at also. The quality ones are a little rich for my wallet right now. Lol I'll have to save up for one.
  9. Very nice! That lace work is insane!
  10. What would it cost me for a stamp like this? Right now I use a laser to burn it on leather but would be cool as a stamp. Thanks, Bobby
  11. Those are nice. I may have to save up for those. I have an awl also but I'm really not big on round holes. I also have a stitching wheel that I got a while back. I need to get that out and practice with it also. Thanks for the response!
  12. Lol Ya, I have a couple belt blanks that I've been wanting to carve. I like the way stitching on edges of a belt look but, no way am I gonna hand stitch a belt. I would probably have to have 20' of thread laying all over to stitch it. Lol Thanks for your replies my friend! Bobby
  13. Ya, I like my diamond tools. The sizes on them are 2.3mm, 3.1mm and 3.9mm. I have only used the 2.3mm on all my stuff. Not sure where the bigger ones would be used. I like the tighter spacing.
  14. This is the set I basically have now.
  15. So I'm wanting to upgrade my pricking tools. Right now I have 6 spi angled tools. I'm looking for a set that I can use on my sheaths, holsters, pocket knife cases, etc....I only saddle stitch by hand. So here are my questions: Are round hole prickers better? What would be a standard mm spacing? What would be a decent priced brand? I was looking at some WUTA prickers on amazon. Any advice would be appreciated!! Bobby
  16. Very nice! May I ask how do you get your molding soo refined? Looks great!
  17. I am still amazed how a few simple tools can make leather look so beautiful. Great job! I didn't have many tools when I made my first sheath and I still don't have a bunch of fancy stamps. This was my first.
  18. That turned out pretty nice! Great work!
  19. It is funny tho' how this thread gets more replies than actual leather threads. Lol
  20. What I'm really wanting is one good oval punch that I can use on all pancake sheaths and holsters for the belt holes. Can anyone recommend an all around good size and a quality punch? Thanks!
  21. Well I guess the majority here is no "like" button. Lol I for sure won't be bringing that up again. 🤣
