2015 Keep Making Stuff Monthly Challenge
Craftsman Made replied to thefanninator's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
This is a great idea and should be fun. I will give this a go -
Very nice indeed! Love the journal and the photo's are great. Would have liked to have seen a photo of the back of the journal just so as to get an overall picture of the whole piece.

Hi Big Sioux. Good to meet you the name's Peter by the way. I picked these up at an old tool stall at a street market many years ago for next to nothing and they work very well. I am pretty sure they are quite old they just have that feel and look to them and I think you are on the right tracks as there must have been something like these being used before machines came into it. I have had a much larger one made for me by the guy who made my cutting board which is also in the photo

I use these rounding blocks when I make a belt or strap that needs a raised centre piece.

Your welcome. Good luck with it. Let me know how it turns out -
Yes it is. I have made a few sheaths for this knife in the past. I have put some more photo's up in the gallery of the blade and handle for you to look at. The design of the sheath was right out of the old nogin.

Hi ramblinrovers. Good to meet you I'm Peter. No i didn't make the knife a good friend of mine who is a blacksmith made it for a client. The blade is made from an old file he had in his workshop the wood is english yew and the leather is english bridle of various colours which came from me. The sheath is mine.

Hi David. I have found that starting in the corners and meeting up to one side of the middle or the other ( but never exactly in the middle as that's were the eye is naturally drawn too ) is the best way to go. I will also stretch the leather ever so slightly if I have to to as the marks are about to meet to get the even spacing. It works for me Peter.

Forgot to add that my name is Peter!

Hi Lew Thanks for the comment much appreciated. The names Peter by the way. I stitch all my work by hand and in the main I use only 3 markers which are a 6-7-12 stitches to the inch. Cheers Peter.
