    My guess is that a liner would make it thicker and stiffer. Making it harder to use. Also if it is a production item it could be a cost factor, both in material and labor.

    Looks nice....I also think that brown thread is the way to go.................but what do I know??

    That would be another reason......wet dye will smear. I also remember several suggestions to let it dry then buff till no dye comes off before proceding with the next step. That way the dye won't smear

    I would also throw the suggestion out to practice more with swivel knife cuts. Looks like the knife was dull and dragging. A good stropping and practice will fix that. Mike

    I have had that happen when the clear-lac didnt dry enough before antiquing. May or not be the cause.

    They look good and the price is great............unfortunately I already have these 2 but I am sure someone will take them. They are good tools! Mike

    Springfield leather ships just about anywhere. I think Panhandle Leather and others will too.

    I hope to make some soon. I got some HO leather that's just crying to be cut. Hope mine turns out half as good as the one here.

    I can gladly say that Bill is a relatively new "friend" of mine and I can't wait till we can get together and learn stuff from each other. Congrays on the nomination Bill. I know you will make a great ambassador!! Mike

    There is also an Al Stohlman book on making containers like this.

    There are several glues you can use. Rubber cement is one and I have a tube of gorilla super glue I sometimes use. Contact cement would also work as you won't want it to move after you glue it and prior to sewing. I am sure others will chime in also.
