Looks good did you make the knife also very nice !

It has ben said hide glue can contain anthrax for more than one hundred years! i dont like any of that stuff i'd say if you dont have to touch stuff from there dont. but thats just me.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, the quick disconnects are from "Ohio Travel Bag" good luck i'd like to see this work for you.

Nice work Chuck that looks really good i think the thumb break on the inside rather than outside would but for the belt conection a quick disconect like the one on my chest holster in this section the small part of the of the conector is very small it could mount on the side of the belt the belt would still go on and off easy and very fast hookup and release .btm line it looks really good thanks for showing.

I think i have two boxes of hollow rivetsthat date back to that time chance i get today i'll check a doctor gave me about one hundred leather working tools that belonged to hi great grandfarther among the things were lettersfrom the leather worker to leather purveyors of the time dated 1891and 1898 i have the book Packing iron fun stuff i'll take a look .

Hi Dan welcome to the group looking forward to seeing your work.

Nice job Chuck like that color the fit looks good to thanks for showing

That bag is beautiful! very nice work and a lot of it .Great job ! Thankyou for showing it.

Thank you

Thank you for the nice commets .

Ya i know the tool is not needed i just like making tools because it's fun then useing them is even more fun!

Ithought of the 12ga to but went with solid brass havent made the marking jig for the loops themselves but thats just slots cut in plastic i'll use the same tool to draw the lines. thank you for the nice comments.

Josh thats beautiful great detail thanks for showing

Nice work is the toe plug stitched in it's hard to tell from the photo thanks for showing

Wow thats a beautiful rig nice stitching work also thanks for showing .

Thanks it was fun to make i love making tools .

yes thanks for asking it dose have an edge but it can be used on any size belt if you look at the chest holster i posted the slide is narrower than the jig where you can see through the plate it's easy to line up or you can use a filler let's put it this way if you have this one would not even think of laying it out by hand . Thanks for the question and comments.

Hope this comes out right had a request to see my home made bullet loop jig the plate shown is for 44mag the tool the shaft is 0-1 tool steel the rest brass and walnut works great very fast layout.

Sure i'll share but i'm new at posting pictures i'm working all day today i'll try to get it done tonight .

Thank you for the nice comments the ammo loops are done with a tool and fixture i made just for doing bullet loops this one is for 44mag it makes layout very fast i'm very lazy about doing repetitive work so lets say a layout for a gun belt with 30 loops of - 44mag or any other cal would take about two minutes this sets layout dimples for machine or hand sewing the math is always right the diagonal thread under the loop is set in a stitch groove thats done dot to dot very fast around two min it's so fast it's fun to do best part they are always right. Thank you all for the comments.

I would take it apart from the buckle end the good part is you can pick the stitching out only to where your going to fold the belt make a new elonggated hole for the buckle then re stitch only the back of the foldthen new screws or whatever to hold the buckle on hope this helps.

really nice like the idea nice job

thats very cool that should bring in som doe

the picture is horrible and i have no idea hoe to send but here goes nothing just made this chest rig for a 44mag ruger holster is 2 - 7to8 oz veg tan color pro oil saddle tan fin 50/50 res and water payment typ lots of deer and ham plus home made wine and some electric work he is very happy with it.

show that knife and sheath to your boss he might go for the gun instead!
