Hi Speaking from bad experience, keeping the pumch perpendicular is harder than it looks. I used a 3/32 drill in a drill press and at least the wholes are straight now. I was sewing with waxed thread, not lace. Later Mike

Wet Form Knife Sheath & Welt Question
1961Mike replied to ChiefFilipino's topic in How Do I Do That?
Hi I'm making a Native American sheath for a butcher knife like that in Kozlov's book "Plains Indian Knife Sheaths: Materials, Design, and Construction. I actually put a triple layer of welt at the top of the sheath. The sheath covers over half of the knife handle. I'm not done yet so who knows if it will work or not. Later Mike -
Hi I emailed Pecard's. They recommended using their Classic Leather Dressing. I also used Gum Tragacanth on the edge It looks pretty much like it did when I bought it now. Later Mike Norman OK

Hi I've made a few belts and a holster, but I'm a real newbie in most ways. I just bought a plain leather tool belt with electrician's pouch. How can I protect the leather without making it soft? I don't know if it is chrome tanned or what. Klein tools if that helps. The package didn't say. Thanks Mike Norman OK
