  1. Leather gun belt I finished for a customer. Natural leather with double stitching.
  2. You can make a Leather Stropping Wheel. If you have extra veg tan leather in your scrap box they are easy to make and work awesome. Use Jewelers Rouge on the wheel and it works well. I sharpen all my cutting tools on it. There are YouTube videos on how to make them..
  3. Check out https://www.strapworks.com/default.asp Strap Works is a good place to look I buy a lot of my hardware from them.
  4. I have a Consew 225 and I always backstitch you can hold the thread and stitch one stitch raise the foot and pull the material forward and place the needle in the first hole. This works great it only takes a little practice.
  5. That is a very nice Machine.
  6. Finished up this leather purse used 8 to 10 oz English Bridle. There is a matte for quick release behind the Sam Brown. The strap is adjustable used a Sam Brown on the strap so I didn't have to use a buckle on the strap.
  7. That is a very nice design. I have been making jack saps for many years that is how I got started in leather. I always loved impact weapons. I sell these at gun shows as novelty items along with my gun belts. The state police never have said anything about them other then I wish I could still use these. The state I live in they are Illegal to carry. Nice work.....
  8. I am a little skeptical to on this one. Everyone needs to make money but when you farm out all your leather work are you really a leather Company?
  9. The leather is Dark Brown English Bridle 8 to 10oz from Wickett & Craig. The Canvas is #10 Duck Martexin Original. Had some scrap leather in the shop and decided to make a backpack.
  10. I have attached a link where you can get Waxed Canvas http://fairfieldtextile.com/fabrics.html This is a great company to work with if you need canvas. Thanks.
  11. Finished up this bag used heavy Waxed Canvas 18 oz with 8 to 10 oz English Bridle. The leather on the bag is 5 to 6 oz.
  12. Hi, I make a lot of canvas bags with leather attached to the bag. I use a CB-4500 with #277 thread. I use a Consew 225 for binding the inside of the bags. If you are going hand sew you can use Seamstick 3/8" basting tape for canvas from Sailrite.com it works very well I can not make a bag without this tape. It depends on the leather that you are going to use on finishing the edges some softer leathers will not burnish very well. You can try to dye the edges then burnish the edges before you attach the leather to the bag. Hope this helps....
