Here is a crescent wrench by most North American usage. It is an adjustable wrench, I believe originally made by the Crescent Co. Tom

Here is one photo from the Instructables Tom

I have crescent wrench that has a mm scale on one side of the jaw, and fractional inches on the other side. I guess that's to help pick the right box end wrench after you bust your knuckles. Tom

Show us a picture of it on the "T"! Nicely done Tom

My crescent wrenches fit all measurement systems! My pipe wrenches also! Tom
-
Best if it is in both places. Shipping info is required by the marketplace rules. Tom

Wonderful! Tom

Aussie strander. https://www.tandyleather.ca/en/product/australian-strander Can't see enough of the pink tool. Tom

You can resize your photos so they fit. 800 x 600 pixels is adequate and would allow you to post many photos in the same post. See this thread, lots of options. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Tom

So I guess you can visualize "the metre has been officially defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second." I can visualize many things, like electrons (or holes if you like) flowing in an electrical circuit, but to visualize how far light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second is beyond me. Your definitions for an inch can be easily visualized for a rough estimate. I have no problems with English (Imperial) or American units, nor with SI units. I work in all three. Have taught (for 19 years) engineering/technical folks in both Imperial and SI units for years. Converted many tutorials, lab assignments to SI units as we adopted SI in about 1979. Re-derived formulae using SI units. Have worked in the EPC industry for 20 years using whatever system the client wishes to use. I can flip back and forth at will. You should look at Pipe Tables if you want to see a real mess. No one is ever going to change the dimensions on 2" pipe, nor the threads associated with it. But 2" pipe is called 2" pipe, though I see some people trying to call it 50mm pipe. But that should be 50.8mm pipe! Makes a lot of sense doesn't it! Also pipe thickness is given as Schedule 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. No reference to Imperial or SI. It's just a crazy world. I still think the best conversion system for those without SI Metric abilities is to use 2 rulers, laid side by side. Gives excellent visualization. Tom

1 m is equivalent to 1.0936 yards, or 39.370 inches. Since 1983, the metre has been officially defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. Love these base definitions that nobody can understand! Tom

Buy a ruler with mm and use it to do your measuring. 1" = 25.4 mm. Nothing neat and clean about conversions. From your basic math, round up if the last digit you are concerned with is 5 or greater. Round down otherwise. And if your are trying to convert to 1/16, or 1/8, etc., go back to your basic math and figure it out. Tom

SaddleBags is talking about cutting down the holster pattern. It's a pattern or measurements the OP wants, not cutting down a rifle to fit a pattern! Tom

Guide: How To Make Leather Bike Grips
Northmount replied to AusSimon's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
I copied and pasted it into MS Word, then made it into a PDF. Did a slight amount of editing. 3rd party sites often change permissions, files get deleted or moved, then the thread becomes useless after that point. Motorcycle Grips.pdf Tom -
@Stewbeans22You should add your location to your profile so you get answers or comments related to your location. Appears from your IP address that you are near Baton Rouge Louisiana. buyleatheronline is located in Italy. Tom

@Dia1996 Start your own post instead of dropping your ad into others for sale items. I will be removing your post from this thread. Tom

The waterbased contact cement I have used is not water soluble after it has set. Cleanup with water must be immediate. Heating will reactivate the cement if you have an area that didn't have good contact when you put it together. (Or if you need to separate the items, heat will help like other contact cements.) Petroleum based solvents help to clean up a dried mess, but is difficult to do a nice cleanup. Tom

@Frodo If you haven't read this thread, you should. Tells what you need for a leather sewing machine. Tom

Pictures would help identify it. Most portable machines are domestic machines. Tom

Unusual harness making molds and presses. Help wanted

For your next wallet, consider making a liner that expands and contracts as the wallet is opened and closed. The attached pattern is for such a wallet. The wallet back page 4 (red in the pattern) may be lined with a thin leather liner. The lining leather must be thin to reduce any wrinkling of the lining leather. Expandable wallet pattern.pdf Page 5 shows the right side assembled, the left side is still open so you can see how the tabs fit. Print pages 2 through 4 full size, not sized to fit. Other pages you may print to fit or just use the file as reference. Tom

@SFoglio moved your post from wanted to for sale. You need to provide a selling price and information about shipping. Will you ship, how, cost? Read the marketplace rules. Tom
