Top photo is of an Osborne six inch round knife. I bought this when I was in the Navy Circa 1954. Number embossed in blade doesn't come up on Google. It has been ground professionally and cuts leather like butter. There is a slightly flat spot at the top of arch. I do not remember why that is there. $50 plus shipping Round knife at bottom of photo was custom made for me by Terry Knipshield. Three and a quarter inches tip to tip. This is a top of the line blade. I used it to skive leather and cut intricate pieces of leather. Blade is scary sharp. $200 -=SOLD=- plus shipping. I will not take less for this blade PayPal or Postal Money order

Kangaroo leather will last forever I think. I have made many small items from it as well as wallet insides.

Spent five days in hospital up to almost Christmas. Too many things going on to elaborate at this time. I desperately need to get rid of lots of leather tools etc, I have including hides. Going to hang onto my electric sewing machines. I have quite a few Kangaroo hides of different colors. Will try to list them as I can get them suitable for photos. It has been a long journey for me since 1953. It has come time to make it possible for someone else to enjoy what I have been blessed to obtain. Will try to make the items attractive in price without giving away the house. Ferg

You should be able to play with your settings to minimize the charring. I keep a box of what would be throwaways for trial and error work. lol

Chuck, Advantage I see? I keep the laser file, engrave to leather anytime I wish. The engraving should take about 30 to 60 seconds. The drawing is precisely the same every time.

You can get a trial version of LightBurn and you won't have to do all this fiddling you guys are doing. Yes it has a learning curve. I find anything worth doing is doing it with the right program or tools. Personally, I hate InkScape.

Neila, You are a true artist, in leather and artwork. Ferg

Oh MY! Good thing I wasn't there. My wife would have made me take it all back. I have had and still do have some interesting vintage items. I even like to feel them once in a while. lol

Very nice, especially your stitching.

That was my thoughts also. that is why I built my own

I have two I would sell. One is a sit-down. This is one I built for stitching albums, portfolios, etc. If interested in the sit-down I can take a photo of it later today. They are both large.

I agree very enjoyable and well done video. Keep up the good work. I have a CO2 60W laser and have had great success with cutting and engraving leather

I replace the lid after I finish gluing an item. I also tap the lid around the edges with a mallet. Used to do a lot of plastic laminate work. Bought the contact cement in five gallon buckets. Also: I used latex contact cement on laminate, only use solvent based on leather.

I use contact cement all the time for gluing my leather projects.

I have and do both. I love the look of hand tooled leather. Also: I have laser engraved leather photos that adjust the shading etc. and look pretty doggone classy. In every endeavor there are many ways to incorporated what is liked. That said: when you engrave mostly "sketch lines" it isn't nearly as impressive.

Sorry, I do not agree with your assessment. 🤪

I have old chubby hands and like to cut with scissors. Don't think I would care about the long pair but short scissor I would be interested

I realize I am old and a fuddy duddy But...Jockstraps and Cod Pieces is just about the end of the line for me. If this is the nature of the posts (I know there is a place for them) that we are going to get from now on I think this old man will need to leave something I have enjoyed for a number of years. Ferg
