Nice contrast, well done.

Look at Item #4-0804 at Springfield Leather. Concho snap adapter.

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.

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.

A center finder locates the center of the burnisher in order to drill the hole for the shaft. http://www.amazon.com/Robert-Larson-800-2875-Plastic-Center/dp/B000CD1T0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384129994&sr=8-1&keywords=center+finder

Even if it is different .7mm is next to nothing and you would be dividing that by 2 so over all it's only .35mm on each side. I would guess that these are all the same size and are made in the same China factory and given two different sizes, one metric and one imperial for the same item.

Hi Needles; I used a center finder, drilled the hole with a drill press and then trued it up on the outside with a jig and sand paper. The only real problem is the burnishers are wood and they are warped so that's where the work comes in on something like that. Kevin.

I'm glad that does what you wanted it to. It's always nice when things work out.

Ohio Travel Bag has that length and longer.

Are you measuring or looking at the item description? They should be the same. If it happens they are different, the difference is minimal.

How long?

They should be the same size just two different methods for sizing.

You can buy it. http://www.rodenleather.com/Ovation-series/Distressed/Distressed.html

Fully adjustable and looks great, nice work.

I think it's absolutely necessary to hone any tool used for cutting or skiving leather for the best results.

The problem with any kind of sharpening is the burr that's created and the blade must be removed in order to hone the back side as well as the front. I wouldn't trust any grinding apparatus on a blade that must be sharp. Grinding is for axes and cold chisels. I would be looking at a way to remove the blade/blades and get them to someone that knows how to sharpen and not just somebody in the sharpening business.

Hi Matt; I don't have skiving machine but I am familiar with planer blades and usually all they require is honing. The only time they would possibly require grinding is if they got nicked. If you don't get a response I would suggest you contact the manufacturer.

You could make your own liner with styrofoam.
