    When I get to the end I make a U-turn by going over one and then under, over and under in the other direction following the original weave. On the last tuck under I don't pull the thong all the way through but leave a little loop. I apply some Fiebing's Leathercraft Cement (white) to the top and bottom of the loop with a toothpick. Then I pull it the rest of the way through, wipe up the extra glue and snip off the working end. I know that's a lousy explanation but I don't know how else to say it. Hope it makes sense.

    How they are made is an involved process too complicated to explain in detail in a short space. I'll just say that they are packed tight with BBs and are quite heavy. They take many hours to make and are not cheap. They ARE really cool and of all the ones I've made I've only let a couple go.

    Very nice! I often avoid the use of hardware, especially on rustic and renaissance type pieces.

    The one I have has a backing plate so in this case the tabs would be bent inward toward each other over the plate.

    I purchased one of these the other day but have yet to use it on a project. You are correct that there is only one place for a rivet. Maybe they were referring to the two parts of the rivet. With clasps in general I always attach the part that goes on the bag first and when the bag nears completion (most of the stitching is done) I adjust the flap length if necessary and determine the placement of the other part of the clasp.

    I am in total agreement that instructions shouldn't be necessary for such a project. I'm just not in the market for a kit. I almost always make templates for my projects to facilitate reproducing them if I choose to do so. I just prefer to use my own designs, as simple as they may be. If I was inclined to sell my templates I would certainly include some directions. Not that hard to do. The more information you provide the customer the more they are inclined to buy.

    I'm not in the market for this sort of thing but I would think that some sort of explanation or direction would be incumbent. I would think it would be well worth you time to write up a little instruction if you really want to sell this.

    The sheath matches the old knife perfectly. Great job distressing and antiquing the leather.

    Very good restoration! I'm sure someone is very pleased!

    Fantastic! Very cool! I love the colors! What did you use to do the cutting?
  14. WoodBoneAndStone
    Looks great! I like the color. Nice to see something other than black on a bike.

    I have yet to buy black leather. I would definitely dye my own for smaller and medium size projects. For something like saddle bags or a garment type project I would consider factory dyed.
