    That's a lot of overkill for tooling leather or setting rivets or snaps! More suitable for a blacksmith shop. Tom

    The PDF of the catalog is 69 MB. So a little on the large side to email or post. Tempting to post it here but Tandy may not approve! If Jeff from Tandy wants to provide their approvals, I can post it here. Tom

    Iron reacts with tannin in the vegtan leather to produce blue/black stains. Check out vinegaroon for more information on how the stain occurs. The stain can be removed by cleaning with oxalic acid. Have to keep vegtan and iron separated and dry to prevent it. Tom

    CLOSED SHOP

    I would suggest that people would like to know where in the world they would be buying from and of course have some idea of the related shipping costs and time in transit. Also nice to know what part of eBay your listing will likely turn up on. There is no intended slight to you or anyone else. Just makes good business sense to know where you are dealing. Tom

    Haven't cut myself yet with a draw gauge, but have with the wooden strap cutter. I was squeezing the bars that hold the blade together to fit thinner leather. The knife came up through the top bar and bit me! Now there is a piece of leather glued over the top and bottom bars as a warning and for protection in case I didn't learn the lesson the first time. For the draw gauge, grind the point off, grind it to a good radius. You won't be using that top 1/4" anyhow and helps prevent accidental cuts if left sit upright. I've heard of fellows cutting their wrist reaching for something on the other side of the knife. Mine has a special place in a drawer and sits upside down, point down. Tom

    My guess is not the foot itself, but the balance between the inner and outer feet. I doubt that the foot is too long. There are others here more expert than I am. Tom
