THANKS GUYS, sounds good, there was also small files, & small saws guess also for jewelry

Thanks to both you guys for ansering me. Cutting on a curve sounds good Ray, but leather isn't big enough. Twelve Feet is a LONNNNG piece of leather. My side I'm cutting from is about 90 inches. I think I'll go with barge cement, & saddle stitch,two pieces together. Thanks for the tip on NOT stitching across. How about in a X stitch pattern. or just on the edges of the overlap part. thanks again, KEEP ON POUNDING

I found a box of old tools. I can't figure out what these are ?? They are made of wood, & have hinge of sort so the two pieces can move. Looks like some sort of a tree.they are only 6 inches X 1.5 inch dia. the small one is 4.5 inches long does anyone know what they are ???

I have an order for a 12 foot X 1 inch leather DOG leash. I'm using W&C english bridle leather 10/12 oz. I need some advise on how to splice 2, 6 foot pieces together to make one long leash. The customer Don't want rivets, so I'm just going to hand stitch. QUESTION IS : whats the best & strongest way to sew it together. EX: overlap, or use a small 2 inch piece over the splice??? All sugestions welcome...

VERY NICE ! You covered the chest with leather ? What weight leather did you use ?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET THIS TYPE OF BUCKLE ? THEY CLIP ON THE END OF THE BELT,& THE TIP GOES BEHIND THE BUCKLE. THEY ARE GREAT FOR SNAKE SKIN BELTS,BECAUSE THE LEATHER DOES NOT GET BENT GOING THROUGH THE BUCKLE, LIKE ON A CONVENTINAL BUCKLE. HERE IS A PHOTO
