Thanks Roger. I'll post some pics of it when I get it done. Right night now I need to draw up some kinda batty looking things. And again I love that fade and speckle on your tool bag. Tom

I love that finish. Well I love the whole thing. As always your work has inspired me. A guy wants a bag made and I was wondering about the size of the bag and weighs of leather. Again thanks for the inspiration. Tom

I guess I need to redo my rope. Heres a pic of it. Boy I hate this camera. Gonna have to break down and get a decent one. Oh well, One must do what One must do. Tom

I made one like that some time back and it works great. The wooden one. Your design is alot better than the one I made. It adjusts out farther to cut wider strips. Thank you for sharing. Tom

Question. What the heck is it for. I mean what does a Honda/Hondo do? Tom

Thank you. Not too bad for a couple of flea market steak knives. Not sure what I'll do with em but I'm sure I'll find some one to give em to. Tom

I see now how that would look better. I am going to use this pattern again, probably this weekend and I'll do that. It's everybodys tips, hints, and critiques that help me to learn. Thank you. Tom

Thank you Bruce. I'm still learning more each time I do something. Tom

I guess the pictures didn't load. I knew I was tired when I posted this but I must have been asleep. OOPS.

I would be more than happy to. I'll see if I can borrow a better camera to do it with. Mine really sucks. I've never done a tutorial so it might take me awhile to figure it out. Tom

I made this knife from deer. horn Just drilled a hole for the blade and then drilled and tapped holes on the side to hold the blade in place. Need some kind of finger rest on top. I used it on this holster and it worked fine. Tom

I also finished up the sheath for this knife last night too. I made the knives out of some old Stainless steel flea market type knives. It's good steel so all I had to do was bust off the old handle and make the new one. I used brass screws to hold the blades in place and because they grind down real easy with my Dremel tool. Then I just took the Dremel and sorta made a patten on the blade just for looks. Tom P.S. I'm going to bed

Was up most of the night playing with these. Got them done about, well what ever time. The edges arn't beveled yet in the pictures but I got that done before I took them to the hardware store. I used copper rivets and I think they look really nice. About half asleep right now. Enough talk. Here they are. Tom

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I've said it before but I want to say it again. Your guys have taught me so much and gave me the encouragement to try, and to put more care and effort into my projects. Thank you. Tom

I just got these at Tandy for a $1.49. Their on sale for August.

I go through Perryville 10 or 12 times a year. It hurts to lose a good friend like that. I'll have to stop one of these times and put a sugar cube on his grave. Tom

Roo, I just watched the video and wanted to say thanks. Tom

Aint had a chance to play with it yet but it sems to feel ok in my hand. I just saw the antler laying there and thought hummm what can I do with that? Heres what became of it. Tom

Took my grocery bag and went to the store then to the libarary and sold 2 of them. YEE HAW!! Tom

If I had worked on it straight through 2 1/2 maybe 3 hours. More time was spent waiting for it to case right and things like stain and finishes to dry. All and all another fun project. I think the beveling could and will be better on the next one. Tom

I went to the hospital where I had my operation's, yeah plural and requested copies of my own x-rays which they provided at no charge. Tom

I've been using cereal boxs. I eat alot of Rasin Brand so I just cut the front and back of the box and it works great. The boxes have a wax coating on them so they dont soak of water either if you rubber cement your leather on the face side of the box. Tom

I'm pleased with this one even though the beveling on the edges didnt turn out that great. i just think it has a nice look to it. Its the first time I ever used this type of fancy buckle. I usually just use a plain Bridle buckle with no end cap on the billet. All said and done I'll hate to see this one go. Tom

I'll try that first thing tomorrow. Thanks. Just got a new airbrush and my mind is reeling with things I want to try. Also broke down and got the compresser too. 50% off at AC Moore. tom

Someone posted an article about it. I'm trying to do it but no luck yet. Tom
