    I want to try adding spots to some of my old west holsters. I haven't been able to find any instructions. Would I need to add a lining? Any help would be appreciated

    I recently started using tape on the back of my projects when I stamp or carve. What do you about the roughness of the leather when you pull the tape off?

    I would like the pattern for this also

    Thank you for your comments. I will do some practicing find what works for me.

    This is a dumb question so be nice. I have been doing leather work for a while. But I still have problems beveling my cut lines. I see others moving the beveler along the line as they are hitting it. What am I doing wrong? I have to move then hit it. Doesn't always create a nice smooth bevel.

    Looking for the measurements for making 22cal bullet loops. I found information all several other sizes. Is 32 cal larger or same size?

    Figured out the splice. Having trouble figuring out how to lace around the point.

    If your lace brakes in the middle doing double loop lace, what double you do to fix it?

    What do you do when the rough side of leather that is inside of a holster is really rough? I really don't want to line it.

    Is there anywhere to get 1 1/4 alphabet letter stamps? Or any suggestions best way to make them? I am working on my Santa belt and either just going to do SC or spell SANTA out centered on the belt with the sleigh coming off each side.

    Is there a video or something else to show how to use it correctly? I have tried several times but can't seem to make it look right. Just put it aside but now would like to use it on a project.

    I am working on my Santa belt that is 4 inches wide. After my border, I need 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 letters. No want makes letter stamps that large and honestly I am not good at lettering. Any suggestions?

    Yes the one pictured is hollow ground. My straight blade like yours is what I started out with but it's cuts were worst

    Here is picture of my practice cuts and my knife.

    Yes I wet the leather and let dry to start looking the color of the leather. This is a cover for a Tandy leather pouch. Maybe 2-3oz.

    Sometimes it seems the blade will just cut so deep and it doesn't seem deep. Here is one I just finished the cuts and stamping

    What is a steep beveler?
  20. Pappys Leather
    Yes I did wet form
  21. Pappys Leather
    Here is one. It came out looking to flat because the cuts were too shallow

    My latest finished one. Thinking I need to get a sewing machine and learn how to use it. Take a while to stitch theses by hand.

    Nice work Nice work

    Sometimes when I am doing the cuts for a carving pattern, they don't seem to be deep enough to get nice even indentations when using the bvevelers or other pattern tools. What am I doing wrong? I strop my blade before start. I don't do a lot of carving for that reason. I do stamping more.

    What have others found works best for cutting out leather projects as far as simplest and fastest? I have tried the round knife but not a fan. I mostly use a knife I purchased from Tandy that holds utility knife blades.
