  1. i made a pair of leather sandals, died them and used atom wax, no sweat or water from walking through wet grass soaked into the leather, i wore these so much that the rubber sole (cheap tandy stuff) has actually worn through to the leather. I have had nothing but success with Atom wax and sno seal
  2. Ive had some of my carbon steel blades in veg tan sheaths for years now. Not problems thus far
  3. I have not experienced that at all. I drink a lot of water which I leave the fridge so it's always cold. My coaster gets used everyday. Hot and cold drinks (drunk from my leather wrapped mason jar) no issues at all
  4. I used atom wax and sno seal. Never had any issues with sweat
  5. First belt I ever made was square at the tip. Never had any issues with and wore it almost everyday for years. In fact I just recycled that belt for a leg tie down for another project. It lives on!
  6. Good question. As these leathers can also be tanned in other ways too.
  7. Make use of the warp. Add more (depending on where it is and how much it's warped). There is a market for asemetrical bowls and trays too.
  8. Etc etc etc. That sums up leather working pretty well
  9. These look great.
  10. I honestly believe that it's everyone's responsibility and right to know how to use blade and boomstick. You never know when you may need to eat to survive or deal with varmints
  11. That's some stunning work
  12. Yup Yup

  16. Cool shaped bookmarks. Leather tic-tac-toe games. Or since they are kids in sure they have electronics so maybe some tooled or cool looking cord wraps for gizmos

  18. May need a tad more info and perhaps a pic or two?
  19. Very nice. I made one of those in matching leather for my dopp kit and used a Sam brown stud
