I have had one in my tool box for decades (bought back when tandy had them) never used it until I read about it here. Anyway my point is I just ordered a few from Springfield i am going to try taking some off each side of the blade to make it smaller to aid in geting around tight curves and the like. has anyone tried this yet?

Reaper according to mt metal square it's damn close not perfect but not off by enough that i think it will matter.

That said I have tried and tried and tried again but I can not seem able to cut an accurate mitered corner. Is there some secret that I have not yet found? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom

Remember physics s at work here the longer the handle the more amplified any indirect hit will be at the tool end.

Casing, And Retaining Moisture During Large Jobs
Slider replied to cbeatti2's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
that sounds like a good system. Where does one find 1" thick plexi? -
Hello all my name is Tom but I go by Slider (the result o a "smooth" move on my motorcycle). I am recently retired and have returned to leatherwork to fill the time and maybe add a few shekels to the coffers. I started working with leather when I was 12 years old and have been at it on and off sense. I am currently re-honing my skills and hope to sell locally and on line in the near future. I was a cad drafter so I use cad software to design some of my projects and just print the pattern or tooling design. I am also the president of the local chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) an international 501-c-3 charity that works directly with abused kids.

My First Heavy Tooled Cue Case
Slider replied to TheTrooper's topic in Satchels, Luggage and Briefcases
A cue case with a full sleeve I love it. Nice work and a great idea. -
I am fairly new here and can't answer the country of origin question. As for made in the USA I prefer "Handcrafted in the USA" after all that is what it is regardless of the leather's origan. It says an American was employed in its creation and will profit from is sale..

For light and medium weights I use a stainless steel ruler and a roller cutter.

Thank you for the speedy reply and the detailed info. It was quite helpful.

I have never tried this buy you might try using an undercut beveler to make it look more like the edges are rolled back. by the bullet.
