I got them from Ohio Travel bag they are around .50 cents apiece but they have a $30 minimum per order, they have tons of neat stuff its easy to send 30 bucks there.

I just finished a few wallets these are made with Herman Oak 4/5 oz and laced up with kangaroo. The 2 identical wallets are going to a customer in England!!!!!!

I just purchased these and I'm having some issues to set these "Force Rivits" Anyone know how to set them or any helpful tricks to set them. Thank you

http://www.ohiotravelbag.com They have them in the Ohio Travel bag catalog (P212) page 88 but it looks like their is no hole punched you might be able to call them to see if they have with holes.

I protect my leather products that will take the abuse from the elements with "SNO-SEAL" apply generously and hit with the heat gun seems to work well.

those are cool I like them alot. Did you apply glue also to fix them to grip?

I really like this gun belt great job

Hello all I just finished a couple of wallets for a customer in England. PS MotherGoose Custom Leather is my company name.

The water trick helped out thank you King X!!!

I use spirit dyes. For silver I dilute black 30:1 and blue 50:50 Blue first let dry then black till I get color I'm going for. I have some barber customers that wanted straight razors and I used this method to produce a blade color but I did use air brush to apply For your letter you can mask around outline with liquid latex I get it at Michael's craft store and then air brush Hope this helps

I letter leather from time to time and this is how I do it Case Make tracing of letters on tracing paper Transfer letters with mech pencil to for outline With very lightly loaded brush fill in outline This gives a nice appearance and doesn't take long. Good luck

thanks everyone I will try the water tip I'll post what happens

Hello all I am having an issue with skiving some Herman Oak 4/5 leather. I'm using the CS Osborne right pointed skiving knife and I have it sharp and polished. I usally don't have any issues with skiving but this leather's flesh side is so tight that I can't seem to get the skive started it will just scrape the flesh off so to speak. Normally I start the knife and slide it back and forth to skive the leather to what I want but this leather is posing a formidible foe!!!!!!! Question Has anyone ran into this problem and if so what did you do to correct? As always thanks for your input.

Thanks Dwight!

Hello all here is a new knife sheath made from 6 oz HO and laced up with kangaroo. Thanks for looking. Take care
