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!

Well I guess the majority here is no "like" button. Lol I for sure won't be bringing that up again. 🤣

I don't know, I think if someone doesn't know much about a thread that's posted, but likes the content of the thread, a like button would let the original poster at least know someone read their post. Having to quote and then add a comment or emoji, tends to lengthen threads out soo far that most just get forgotten or just someone not wanting to read multiple pages of two word replies.

Didn't know where to ask this. Is there a like button anywhere? If I like a comment in a thread, I'd like to be able to hit a like. If I made sense here! Lol

Thank you!

@kgg Thank y'all for your responses. I have a bit to think about.

@kgg Thank you! Will read up more of what I will need it for.

@kgg I guess I need to look at specs on these. The thickest I have hand sewn soo far is 8mm. I don't see me sewing anything thicker in the future. I want something reliable and fairly easy to operate, but reasonably priced also. I'm not against a motorized model that can easily sew at least 8mm and lower but budget is an issue also. Thanks for your response! To add: looks like the Weaver is the only one that shows minimum sewing of 1/8"-3/4".

I'm just curious if anyone has or have used one of these? I like the simplicity of it and supposedly can sew up to almost 3/4" of leather. Also, with a social security budget, seems reasonably priced around $1600. Thanks for any input! Bobby

Very nice!!!

Man, that is some awesome work! Thanks for sharing!!

Welcome! That's a cool bag tag!

Nice job! Looks great! I have a knife with a cheap sheath on it right now that I hope to make a new one this week for it.

Very nice job! I love the stamping. Hope to be that good one day!

Hello all! Thought I'd join the forum to try to learn more about working with leather. I had a friend that challenged me to try some leatherwork about 4 yrs ago. I was making some knives and wanted to make sheaths for them. I do a lot of woodworking, mostly turning stuff on my lathe and crafty stuff also. My wife and I made a move from W.Tx. back to E.Tx. and now it's been a couple years since I've been able to get me a shop and get back to my hobbies. Looking forward to learning things from the pros here! Thanks for letting me join! Here are some pics of a few of the things I have done. Don't worry, I can take criticism very well as it's my aid to getting better.
