Nice job on that I like the use of the meander stamp I would not have thought of that looks cool that sure is an up close and personal rig wow .

that's a very fine job you are doing it's a real beauty .

LOL that's what it sounds like.

I would like to see yours also, my rolls won't be done until some time in January.

I use half bees wax and half brewers pitch mix it by hand in a small ball and that's it small amount last a long time.

Nice looking bag can see why they want more.

Sorry not one roll, three rolls.

I'm making one right now for my woodworking chisels with 4oz oil tan it's my intention to have the leather go over each handle rather than just stitching it flat like a cloth roll this makes the problem of closing the bottom of each chisel space so at the bottom of each space i will leave a small tab of leather in the center kind of like a jock strap sorry but this explains it best that small tab is part of the face it will go back and be stitched down it's a bit more work but i think it will work best the reason for doing this leather is not like cloth I think things will just fit better this way.

Really beautiful work the only thing I see is the edges of the handle should be finished but other than that wow what a job!

Wow those look great love that color.

Nice job hand made and made well what could be better.

Welcome from Boston Mass

Nice work I"M sure he will really appreciate the fine work from a friend.

It is

even though they are in the box and all that I still don't like the idea of that bump on the inside LOL

I struggle with it also so I make these shot shell cases for trap so on the back where the leather turns over to make the belt loop I fasten it with two copper rivets and like you say smooth side out to the most wear LOL that leaves the nice bump on the inside against the primers of the shotgun shells ok so in this case smooth side in the box! LOL

Not contact cement! " rubber cement ". IMHO

Very nice cover someone is going to be very happy with that.

Very nice work thanks for showing .

Wow I love those very nice work and idea .

Wow those are just beautiful really fine work!!!

Nice work that 277 shows up really good like the copper rivets also I think I would have put them in with the peen to the back and use a dome tool on the front but that's just IMHO all said very nice job.

The blanket off the cuff comment as you call it , was I in M my H humble O Opinion IMHO sorry it didn't help I have ben using contact cement for more than 50 years in Industry and for home use that helped form that "opinion" now that does not make me correct it only means I have some knowledge of contact cement and truly was just trying to help.

Barge is the best contact cement used with barge thinner it the best, applied right and nothing is stronger . Master bond is also very good on par with Barge . To me nothing works better than these for contact cement so there's not much point in looking all this IMHO .
