    You might not even have to drill it if you go with a 3/16 copper bolt. It looks like they're using a copper contact type rivet for the anvil. A electrical supply that deals in bus bars and other specialties might even stock that rivet.

    You can make one with a copper bolt if you can't locate one. http://www.copper-parts-components.com/product/Copper-Bolts-hex-Bolts-Hexagonal-head-Screws-fasteners.html You can drill and use a nut or drill and tap. You can even cement a couple of pennies together or use a piece of nylon if you need it right away.

    To get the compound on the wheel, start the dremel and then switch it off as you hold the wheel against the compound. As the wheel slows it will pick up the compound.

    Dremel, felt wheel and green compound.

    Trace it off a stencil onto the cased leather, carve it and bevel.

    George, if you do a Google search for "images of shoulder holsters" you might see something you're looking for. Kevin.

    That wouldn't be a good idea.

    She's using lace.

    A small drill press and a forstner bit would make that easy work , depending on how secure the fabric is. If the fabric is loose it won't work but if it's glued in place it will. Putting holes in leather is a piece of cake.

    It looks really good, what do you think about dropping the strap down below the trigger guard?

    That's a gift from the heart, he'll not only love it but cherish it too. Good job.

    I'll use denatured alcohol to clean leather, for contact cement you can get a glue eraser from Springfield Leather and then go over it with alcohol before applying neatsfoot oil, letting it sit overnight and then apply the dye. If the cement is on the edge it can be sanded off.

    Have a look at these ... https://www.google.ca/search?q=images+of+axe+sheaths&client=firefox-a&hs=xHa&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mciWUrSRKtTboASPs4D4Bw&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=893&bih=491&dpr=0.9

    Another option is the can koozie, I use these and they work well. http://www.amazon.com/Can-Insulator-Koozies-10-Pack/dp/B00CWFHJZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385472131&sr=8-1&keywords=can+koozie

    Nothing wrong with that, looks good.

    Nice contrast, well done.

    If you don't like the Remington foam there's the Federal Plastic Ammo Caddy. http://www.accurateshooter.com/tactical/rifle-mounted-tactical-ammo-carriers/

    You can get the foam cartridge holders that come with the factory box and mold your case around that if you want a full box capacity. They look like this ... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/613404/cb-09-ammo-box-with-styrofoam-tray-22-250-remington-243-winchester-308-winchester-20-round-cardboard-white-box-of-25?cm_vc=OBv1597634

    Very nice!

    A true inlay is two separate pieces flush with each other.

    When the entire piece of leather doesn't get lined to cover the snaps I use a forstner bit and counter sink them into the leather.
  23. Tree Reaper
    They look solid and should last for years!

    I ran into a similar problem with a set designed for webbing. I had trouble finding the smaller hole burners and when I did they were a ridiculous price. I can make my own by using threaded rod that fits the iron, drilling the rod and inserting any size brass tube I want for mere pennies excluding the labor.

    The cookie mix is now worked with a spoon but on the plus side, the cookies have a nice burnished edge.
