    Blood Knot

    I heard about it the other day. I just use a wood spade bit with the point cut off and grind it then sharpen it, but thought I would ask about it too much. Maybe I'll try to make a set. Thanks for the site and info.
  8. I have question on best prep for snake skin, should I remove the scales or not for using the skin on a wallet. Thought there would be a lot of wear on the scales.
  9. First off people here will share info as to what to do tooling and matl. needed. I would start off looking on u tube for making leather wallets and any other items you wish to make, there are so many videos from some of the best leather workers out there today. You can then ask the questions as you need answers for, even telling you will no help if you don't understand what you are told. Also if you put the area of the country your from you make have someone in your back yard that may offer to help.
  10. Welcome I use to do wood working also and still do to make forms for molding leather. Boss is good but my .02 wait do some hand sewing first till you find you like leather and get your feet down to really know what you wish to do.

    Blood Knot

    Has anyone seen a tool called Blood Knot Pliers?
  12. Oil lightly even if you have to do a couple of coats and give the oil time to migrate into the leather 24 hours or so no nice warm days. Just do rust it I have use NF for over 25 yrs on all my saddles, reins, tie downs, belly straps, etc always used lite coats till felt right to me.
  13. C.S. Osborne 1-5/8" Pinking Punch These don't come around often in these good of condition. This one is over 45 years old and is in good condition, Price is $70.00 plus shipping pay pal only. Thanks for the look!
  14. You should have told him if $350.00 was that outrageous. The Binder was $100.00 your speech/lesson was $500.00 Total $600.00
  15. If it is good new leather case (wet) leather stamp or tool leather put light coat of neatsfoot on let it sat overnight dye to color put resist on in two or three light coats (most is mixed 50/50 with water) to seal leather install hardware.

    Old Round Knife

    I am selling off some extra tools I have, thought I would list here first before putting on ebay. I have a Old C.S. Oborne round knife made in Newark. About 3-1/4" new down to 3-3/16" now fairly sharp you may wish it sharper but I just cut some 9-10 oz. hard horse hide and it cut fine. Looking for $70.00 no nicks in blade and no cracks in handle. paypal
  17. On squares I go at it a little differ I cut cross corners making a X then cut the line and I have some very old burnishing sticks that are flat to get into the corners with. Just try differ things till you find the best way for you.
  18. I wrote a letter to Tandy about items being subpar and was told in no certain terms that's why it's on sale. Only buy if I have to and never leather.
  19. For all the issues you had I think the belt came out fine Good Job
