  1. Looks good from the front, can I see the back?
  2. Here are a few ideas ... https://www.google.com/search?q=images+for+rattlesnake+belts&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=kZH&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=XSFHUZmxOqX52AXn8ICwCg&ved=0CDQQsAQ&biw=884&bih=482
  3. Stitch a good earth magnet to the back of the holster.
  4. That looks like a lot of work! Good look'n lid, nice job.
  5. Where are you Scott? Kevin.
  6. My cowboy can do that.
  7. Well done Randall, looks great!
  8. For a small project like that a little over one full arms length,maybe one and a half. Start with that and see how it works out. With the saddle stitch more can always be added.
  9. You're off to a good start.
  10. SRT is easier to set but if you want to make this maybe make it for 5/8 rope so 1/2 inch has some wiggle room. You can use 5/8 rope around something round like a wheel rim to wet form the shape or a piece of plastic conduit that you can heat and bend to the shape you want and wet form over that. or just buy the rings and make your own
  11. I have sharpened these by hand starting with a file, then a stone,emery and then finish them off with polish on a felt wheel on a dremel. The ones I sharpened are sharp!
  12. It's that simple but who uses that over a friction saver? I made one years ago and used it once, maybe.
  13. That's the thing! Two layers of 3oz. suede is a lot different from two layers of 1 1/2 oz. pig skin. You'll have a difficult time with two layers of 3oz. suede and a glovers needle.
  14. Harness needle, Tandy 1195-00 Waxed nyltex or linen thread Saddle stitch http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/hand-stitching-video.aspx
  15. If I'm sanding cedar wood without a mask I choke immediately, when I sand leather it doesn't affect me, at least while I'm sanding but you should always take precautions and wear a mask when doing any type of sanding to protect your lungs from the fine dust.
  16. Canvas might be a better choice.
  17. I've tried all that Bob, I'm trying to stop the drip from my beak now, if I can stop that then the cough should stop. I also have a corticosteroid that I'm using. Cedar dust is also a big problem for me.
  18. Bob; Make sure of the thread. The screws I have are 4mm long but 8/32 tpi. Kevin.
  19. That looks pretty good considering your experience and lack of tools to work with. Is that an oil finish? You can get by with sno-seal to keep it weather proof.
  20. James; Search for V Ring Adjuster http://store.jontay.com/heavy_duty_metal_v-rings_1-34_inch_wideblack_wholesale.aspx
