Thanks Troy. All were made of pieces found around the shop. Clipper sheaths from old boot. What fun we have. God Bless. Ray

Thank you Texback and Monica. No idea what will ever become of them as I had no plans for any of them. Just had to burn something. The only one I did plan to make something of was the large oval with eagle. Cannot recall weight of the leather but over 1/4" and stands very rigidly on it's own. Was going to be a shield but never made it there. Thanks again and God Bless. Ray

Just wanted to show a few scrap projects to give idea as to possibilities for "junk" leather items. Not fancy but very utilitarian, mostly. lol. The sheath items were made to hold garden shears/clippers and the material was obtained from and old high top boot that I found. The piece of leather with the cut-outs is available for postage to anyone that wants it. I have 3 of those in shop and will add to a single flat rate box if you want them. Thought they might make good crowns for kids, just by adding a few spots, etc. Enjoy. God Bless. Ray

Many of you know that I am a fan of pyrography on leather and have decided to show a few pieces that I have done. Although I am not an expert at anything I still enjoy doing what I can. Hope you enjoy the pics.

I hope to sell my remaining inventory of knives and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Most of the knives are imports, some extremely nice and some okay but all are new and never used. Brass on some of the knives is not the best plating and I have cut the price as low as possible, with hopes of recovering a bit of my initial investment. For quantity purchases of 5 pieces or more, I will consider offers. Postage, where possible will be by flat rate box, unless item is over the size of the box. can ship most any method you prefer so let me know of your preference. Hope you find something you like. Sheaths made be made of low grade leather, fair grade leather and nylon, which are the best. Knives are good subjects for someone desiring to make a selection of sheaths. Have many more in shop but most of the others are pocket knives of various sizes. Mt favorite folder is the ak 47 bayonet folder. Nicely done and have to keep one for myself. Due to the amount I have available, I ask that you email for the price as not sure if I can match the pictures as would be necessary. Not much at computer operation, other than searching for things of interest. God Bless. Ray

Hello Joe, Always enjoy things made to represent our armed service folks and the nostalgia factor is great. Can't get enough of it. Love it all. God Bless. Ray

Hello Vern, and welcome to the site. Your work is very good and always nice to see what other ideas folks have when making sheaths. Making sheaths is something all knife enthusiasts should attempt. Myself included. lol. God Bless. Ray

Good Morning All. All of the remaining kits have tentatively been sold. Thank you all, for expressing an interest in the kits and making the purchases. God Bless. Ray

You will find nearly every bit of information you will ever need, here on the site. Folks are very willing to lend a hand whenever you need it. Where are you located? There are, according to many folks, some good Tandy stores and some that are less than desirable and I believe it has a lot to do with management. All in all, they have most everything you need to get started. Keep us clued in as to your projects and progress. God Bless. Ray

Gracious, my friend. Sorry to hear about your illness and will certainly include you in my prayers. Not a fun experience and we need your expertise on the site. You have made a tremendous amount of folks very happy with your talents. Wishing you a speedy recovery and all the best. God Bless. Ray

Great pictures of the plants. Good representation of the old and new. I agree that a shop or living space in the old plant would be fantastic. God Bless. Ray

Hello Mini5, Beautiful workmanship. Your tools are also very interesting. Did you make them yourself or are they a commercially made product? God Bless. Ray

Howdy All, The total for the remaining kits at my discounted prices, would be $90.00. Here is the "last chance offer" for the total lot--------- So low you might faint. lol. $75.00 Hope you are the lucky buyer. God Bless. Ray

Howdy All. If any interest in the remaining Tandy Kits, send me a pm. Make an offer that I can live with for the remainder and perhaps we can do a bulk deal of what is left. Already priced low but willing to discuss a package deal if interested. Follow the listing in "Items for sale", Supplies, to read what remains. Will take to flea market this spring, if no interest. God Bless and thank you all for making the past purchases. Ray

Normally, a razor knife or better known as utility knife. Also use some exacto specialty blades when I need to get into finer areas of what I am doing. Not been able to master the round knife so gave it up and comfortable with the blades I now use. Have very large to small serrated scissors and use them to cut roughouts or pieces from sides as needed. I suppose I would use anything that is sharp and does the job and easy to hold in my tired hands. lol. Try them all and you will find something comfortable that does what you need. God Bless. Ray
