    Thanks everyone. The reason I asked this question is that I am doing the June challenge and want to cut it clean. I know I'm alittle late on this one. I saw some great tools here and I too can always find a reason to whack the demple in the middle with something. I'm gonna try and make the tool I think. Thanks again. Tom Thats a great find. Bet you said YEE HAW

    Is there some kind of cutter? Cause boy I sure can't cut a decent one or a stright line as far as that goes. I was thinking of making circle templates out of plexi glass or something. There in lies the problem. To make a template you have to cut a circle. Catch 22. Help please. Tom

I finally got mom's money pouch done.Tom[attachmen =17779:MG_0053.JPG] OOPS, Forgot one. There's a pocket to put a few needles or other small items into. Tom

    I'm extra fond of my angled 1/4" ceramic. It's like cutting through butter. Tom

    12 step program? Step 1: Case your leather Step 2: Carve Step 3: Bevel Step 4: Give up all hope for a cure there is no such thing as a "Recovering Leatherholic" unless its covering a peice of furniture with leather.

    Max and William thanks for the compliments. Mom said if something happens to her while we're together I'm suppose to get her money pouch before they take her to the hospital. I told her I can see it now, the ambulance is pulling up about the same time I'm trying to get the pouch out of her pants. Not gonna happen. Tom

    Thank you. I just got through with the first coat of stain. When it dries and I get it laced I'll post another picture of it. Tom

    I dont mind at all. Thats what this forum is all about. Helping each other and sharing ideas to improve our craft. I made the loops using the same method you would use to make cartridge loops for a gun belt. I cut the strip for the loops 1 1/4" then weaved it in and out of the slots. I put the tools in and tighened the loops and glued the 2 ends in place. The strips and slots can be any size you need them to be. Tom

    I think your right. I've had alittle time to think on it. Lace would look nice. When I open the picture it has an x in the upper right corner to close it. Not sure what the deal is. I'll try a lower setting on my camera and see what happens. Tom

    Welcome misel This the place to start. Since I joined this forum my leathercraft skills have improved a great deal. I still have much to learn. I've never made any gun cases but if you look in the holster section of this forum you'll get some great ideas. Tom

    I thought I'd make myself a tool kit so I could take a few tools with me when I travel. Maybe carry a few rounds or something to work on. Make a few coasters I guess. I haven't decided if I'm going to sew it or lace it. Tom

    I like em. Nice clean lines. My kind of wallet. I was thinking of making a small wallet to carry a few of my tools with me when I go on the road so I can still play with some kind a project. I was going to carve something on it but now I dont know. Tom

    I made this small pouch for my mom. She pins it inside her pants and keeps her "secret" stuff in it. It's 5"x10" With a zippered top. Tom

    I painted them with super shene. Kinda tedious but it works. Then after that dried I buffed it real good and gave it a second coat and buffed it again after it dried. The antique stain doesn't penatrate the coated parts and wipe I just wipe off the parts coated with the super shene. I just finished another project using the same method. I'll post it. Tom
