They would have less leverage than a pair of nippers but yes that would work too, same concept.

They cost a bit too much just to use them on metal, so you probably would want to get some old ones from a farrier

Old hoof trimming nippers may also work with those, a saddle maker I know uses them on regular rivets.

Now that is a sweet idea, nice bag too the light would help keep your hands and the leather intact too I bet

Well I never was good at roses so maybe I'll just shut up now, since I'm being of no help whatsoever:)

There see someone has to point out what's wrong before is I see it

Wow. Thats the best first attempt I've ever seen! Thats REALLY good. (Mine were way worse) Keep it up and you'll be a pro in no time (which will be way ahead of me) I'm not much of an authority in leatherwork because I'm not near being a pro but I've seen a lot of the professional's stuff online

Welcome fellow Saskatchewanian! You will without a doubt learn many things on this forum.

Ah yes, that makes sense, thanks.

I have no idea what IWB is... haha

Dwight,

Make that three Canadians! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?!?!

Aha, there what did I tell you, there is a pro whith some very good information on scabbards.

That's some nice work you've got there, I wouldn't call that beginner It says on the BlueGuns site there are two distributors in the UK, I am not sure if that is what you are looking for but those are used in holster making a lot. I don't know for sure but you may be able to use airsoft guns as well... Hopefully some of the pros will come on here soon.

Well I guess I'm a little late this morning, looks like the tools have been identified. Oh well, maybe next time...

Could you try and post pictures of them?

Yeah, I have made my own figure carving tools that weren't terribly bad and I have got some of them polished, yesterday I made a variation of an undercut beveler (a petal lifter you use like a stamping tool I guess, sorta) out of an old screwdriver which I am quite happy with. It turned out real nice if I say so myself. But I don't ever use that B200 anyway as I have another one so I might just try an do somethin' with it. Thanks ya guys, fer answering. ~J

So, I have this old craftool beveler, the B200, that I wanted to modify into a sheridan beveler (just put a steeper angle on it) cause I don't have one of those but lots of time. But then I thought maybe I better ask the experts here whether or not modifying one of the GOOD craftool stamps was a good idea, or if I might wreck something by doing so. I'm not terribly knowledgeable when it comes to things like this, though I have made some pretty ugly stamps of my own. Actually, this seems rather dumb, what could be wrong with that anyway? But it took me so long to type out I can't bring myself to erase it, and then anyways, it might not be as dumb as I think it is, and I'm no expert... So anyhow, your input? ~J

Hey, that's AWESOME! The third sheath I made was for a KA-BAR too.
