    Romey, darling!

    Months ago you told me a lot of nonsense (a lecture about rules in this forum) because I had posted a big photo in my thread. Now I tell you the same nonsense: you have posted 4 big photos and that is out of consideration with this forum and his members. Don´t worry, I finish here my remarks with you for ever and ever, and please don't read or reply my comments never again. I don't like your sheath, is very wide and rough, and the knife is simple. Have a good day!

    I don't know if I missed this, but has anyone tried improving their tools rather than start from scratch?

    SkipJ

    I make my own tools: mallets and head maul with nylon 3" (they aren't the best fot stamping), hole punch, some strap end punch, groovers, adjustable U and V gauge, edge bevelers, an adjustable creaser, an awl, a lacing-stitching pony, wood folders and wood slicking sticks, and my knives for cutting leather... my tools are "made at home", simple but working, only with steel, wood or brass, a Dremel, grinder, sandpaper and file. Now I'm making a strap cutter with my design and a new handle swivel knife with a lathe for metal tube. If you have a minimum of knowledge and some tools of carpentry, woodturner, plumber or blacksmith, everybody can do it. I assist sometimes to courses of do-it-youself, I look for the tutorials in a web site and I have read some book about.

    Al Stohlman's "How to Make Holsters", "Frontier Holsters" and "Custon Knife Sheaths" with Chuck Burrows (DVD), red or blue guns for holster molding, holster patterns or your own design, and a little workmanship and imagination, no more!

    I tried listing my Scale-Miniature Native American Regalia KIT (for model horses) to ebay recently, only to have them issue me a warning about the use of the words "Native American" or "Indian". Apparently, unless you are a certified member of a tribe, it is illegal to use those words describing anything you make UNLESS you also include the words "Reproduction".

    I don't understand. I work in Europe and I'm not a certified member of an indian tribe. Carving leather with a native american design from a book is an offense? If I sell in the USA or Europe my articles with indian desings stumped is illegal? If I use the word "Reproduction" is not an offense?

    Leatherworking Guide

    The profession of leatherworking is a primary trade skill in the World of Warcraft. When choosing leatherworking as a primary skill, make sure you really want it, as you may only have two primary tradeskills at once. Also when you choose leatherworking you are pretty much locked into taking skinning as your second primary skill. You are able to unlearn trade skills but if you do this, you will lose all your skill points in it. If you were to start leatherworking again you would have to start from the bottom, not at your last skill level.

    What items do Leatherworkers produce?

    Leatherworkers produce a variety of useful items, the main item they produce though is armor (leather and mail). Leatherworkers also produce some secondary items that include:


    • Quivers and Ammo pouches -Bags that only hold arrows or bullets but provide a weapon speed increase to bows, guns and crossbows.
    • Armor kits - Adds armor class to your armor permanently, much like an enchantment

    I'm not sure now, but I think that in The Leather Crafters&Saddlers Journal you can get any article about leather handle.

    Thanks for those links, Candy.

    On the last one, en-cueros.com.ar, the content is pretty dense, and I can't find any mention of this fellow making his own tools. Where did you find that part?

    -Alex

    Here you have the pics with some stamps and punches, and pics with the works make it by the pupils of the courses.

    By my experience, If you wish to buy anything you must to choose UPS for shipping, no away the argentinian postal service. For to know the prices write an e-mail here:
