    This is my leather cabinet. And here is my small bits storage. Friend of mine just turned us on to the coffee bean burlap sacks. We aren't sure what to do with them yet.

    Ok here it is. It's a mess. But it's mine. This is where the magic happens. This is a 32x60 steel school desk I picked up for twenty bucks. Currently working on a growler prototype. This is my splitting and burnishing area to the right of the desk. Here is my sewing area. I move the press to the desk when I need to set snaps. More to follow.

    Dang, no wonder you're oldnslow. That's a lot of bad injuries. I just have two broken feet, a bad lower back, and pain in every joint. Since Old was willing to step up I guess I will too. Be back in a few with some resized pics.

    Hahahaha. I'm not taking a picture of my studio any time soon, either. It's a mess.

    I hadn't really thought about this angle. So, now the little guy is getting shoved out by the big box sites too.

    Hold on a minute!!! Ain't you the one always telling me "if there isn't a picture, it didn't happen."? Lol

    Sheila, a round knife is design based from a half circle. Traditionally, a head knife is based off a half oval. Lots of head knives today only loosely use the traditional basis. Most are a custom shape that the maker says is a headknife. You can pretty much use either term. It's not like talking to an old stubborn carpenter who wants to explain to everyone the difference between level and plumb. Oh, and my name is Matt. Terry is Mr. Knipschield of Knipknives. Cheers.

    That sounds cool. Welcome aboard. We would love to see some pics.

    Keith, I had never heard that about the different parts of the hide dying differently. Thanks for sharing that tip. Oh, and the holsters look fabulous.

    He should narrate children's books.

    This will be money well spent. Hopefully, you will offer some annual payment options? This is a great idea. Another YouTuber name of Izzy Swan started a wood worker's guild that offers video content and design plans for a nominal membership fee. He also does sponsorship giveaways to his members. The very best of luck to you, Nigel. You have been a standard setter around this site. Thanks.

    Sheila the French model from Terry Knipschield is a smaller headknife (about 4" across the tips). I chose this model because it has two different cutting styles incorporated into the blade. The regular side is for wide sweeping or straight cuts. The cut back end of the blade is great for tight outside radii. By dropping the back of the handle down I have gotten as small as ½inch full radius 180 degree turn. Think of a round end on a small strap. It won't cut everything which is why I eventually got the curved detail knife. I have no doubt that it could make that same cut mentioned above. So, it with the rosebud would be a good combination. The straight trim knife I have was bought only because I had the opportunity to add it to my tiny collection without the wait. A forum member here had it up for sale. A little more to know about Knipschield Knives. Terry will absolutely not take your money until your knife is ready to ship. I haven't experienced not having the money ready for payment at the time of completion. I imagine he has people lined up to buy your knife if you don't. He has many styles to offer that are not on his website. He has no time to update it. I know of at least 2 models not on his website. You maybe best served to call him for a consultation on your needs, but please don't waste his time. He is really busy making knives for good boys and girls. And if I haven't said this, I am in no way affiliated with Knipknives. I am just an overly satisfied patient customer. Good Luck, Terry.

    Good luck with it. I hope it works for you.

    I would start with sandpaper around a small dowel. Pull away from the edge. Run through the grits. Then make an edge with them on some stiff vegtan. Rub rouge into that edge and run them backwards through that. Shouldn't take too long.
  15. bikermutt07
    Yeah, I have a Lennox for work. I have kind of moved away from the razor knives for my leather stuff.

    At the bottom of the card slots. The card slots fold up and then stitch. So, the radius at the bottom is actually 2 back to back cuts. Little bitty ¼ circle cuts. I'll get you a pic of the pattern.
  17. bikermutt07
    I got nothing. Just keep going until you can use it or make it unusable.
  18. bikermutt07
    It is a very pretty color and finish. Nice job on the sheath.
  19. bikermutt07
    Here is where. See at the bottom of the wallet. It is only one piece through there so you have to make little ¼ pie cuts back to back. These cuts help you know how much to fold back. So, you have to cut them while it's still flat. Just no way to get that head knife in there.

    Thanks, I see your "point". Stropping goes a long way even on those throw away blades.
  21. bikermutt07
    That is an interesting knife. I've gotten to where I love the push cut. The detail knife is for those super tight radii, like on the edges of this wallet.
  22. bikermutt07
    That is a beautiful color. Did you add anything to the finish or is that straight from the factory?
  23. bikermutt07
    It'll be worth it. Which one did you order?
  24. bikermutt07
    Good stuff, Hernie. Welcome aboard. A purse may be a little ambitious for your first real project. Maybe look towards a kit or at least a pattern set from someone. Going at a purse from scratch sounds beyond my abilities (and I have dabbled for awhile now). Good luck.
  25. bikermutt07
    Yeah, he's great.
