I've seen this guy advertising his custom stamping products for jewelers, locksmiths and also leatherwork. http://www.henryaevers.com/new_page_5.htm

I like the looks of it - and I think the distressing and Sam Browne studs make it stand out from most of the typical cuffs you see out there.

Thanks Bo...

Or make a pocket protector for the "younger" generation! Very nice work!

Thanks Josh, y'all are being very helpful.

Yes, this will be a low stress tool sheath - something that is just slipped on the belt as you go out the door. Not really meant for strenuous or continuous work. Weight of the picking tool with wrenches is on the order of 6 - 8 oz. Thanks for the advice, Bob.

Thanks very much Badger. I've been looking at several knife sheaths with holster clips and noticed they have that slot you are talking about - consequently, I'll fit that into my plans. I appreciate your help. HC

I have never made anything in leather, so this would be my very first project. What I would like to do is make a very simple sheath that attaches to the belt with a small Tandy holster clip, and accomodate a dual combination lockpick approx 7" long with handle 1/2" wide and 1/4" thick. I'm planning on using some thin 5 oz scrap leather that I found that will suit my purpose well. My question is this: The holster clip has a single 3/16" diameter attachment hole - so should I use a plain rivet, Chicago screw, or combination Chicago screw w/ T-nut? Thank you all for your help.

Very nice leatherwork and great use of the railroad spike.
