A knife i made a while back and had to make a sheath for it and the leather took over as a hobby need to finish this off about 1" thick of welts tapered down to about a 1/2" knife is o1 steel and ebony scales with 304 ss bolsters mostly made with files as i dont have a belt sander yet.

Well sounds like you know what you are doing Upcycling is always good too i cant bring myself to throw out such good steel either havnt looked into hss only used W1 and o1 so far
-
A Pin vice might be what you are looking for to lock the blade into. Also Look around industrial supply shops for drill rod have one close that sells 3' for about that in $ its annealed so you can just work if with files. I keep all broken and dicarded bits too but for $3 its worth knowing what and how to heat treat what you put the time into. Just temper carefully they are vary brittle. lost mine found its way out of its sheath and through my bag or i would show a pic. Thats my 3 bucks;)

I have been using Lepage low odour as i do most of my work when my son goes to bed and don't want the fumes in the house. I had some weldbond and used it when i ran out of Lepage and don't really like it takes to long and cracks sounding when flexed seems to hold but wouldn't want a customer hearing a piece cracking. Havnt seen weld wood red in Canada will keep my eye out for it.

You can make a dimmer switch wired to a plug and plug the solder iron in to it and control the heat that way also a cheap solder iron like wood burner has changeable tips i used the for wood burning until i got a pro unit.

I use the re-curve blade for hair and feather cuts pierce with the point and pull back gives a thick to thin taper in the cut that is easy to control. For tight curves I use my swivel knife and cut the rest out with a scalpel or the re-curve blade.

Need a little help with inspiration for this was going to stich it to plywood. Not so sure I like that idea anymore. I do like your idea of using a round or oval with bark on it but having a tough time finding one 24"or more in diameter which is what I will need for the length of this. Thought of using as an inlay but because of all the cuts thru the grain I dont thinkbit will weather well and I dont think it would where well so looking more at as a wall hanging. Any ideas or critic's welcome

Can I be added as well. Thanks

My drill press is one of my most used metal working toolsi use for leather. Drill, sand, run a flex shaft, and press for rivets although I havent tried that

Thanks again troy I didnt use blockout on everything just the light browns on the wing tips and just let it soke in good wiped areas I wanted to be lighter had a bit of water on hand to thin it out a bit to soak in and get a bit lighter shade accually worked really good dont think I would get the same results painting.
