Thanks J!

Whew! There's the one I was looking for, # 360 is on the table with the finish on it! It actually turned out to be 420. The event coordinator from our restaurant saw them and asked if she could have 60 for a dinner they were hosting. I'm about done with coasters for a bit. BUT, look what followed me home a couple of days ago! An 80lb anvil! I took my electric reel in for service and the saw this sitting outside in the dirt. Asked him if he would part with it and he said yes. He knew I made holsters and asked for a tooled leather case for his iPhone. DONE! It was a lot rougher than it looks now, and I don't think it's a very high quality anvil, but, it rings like a bell and has great rebound. Quite a bit of wire brush and rustoleum and it aint half bad.

Very nice, keep at it.

No idea, but very interested in what they are worth. Could we get more pics of the other stuff?

I think that might be a bullet loop. I need to figure out the spacing for this type of loop. Not real happy with sewing them on.

Welcome and good luck.

I use Goliger leather in California. You can't order on line so I call and tell them I need another hide. It was explained to me that they buy a and b, grade etc from ho. They don't grade them, ho does. They also told me many other places buy tannery run lots and grade them themselves. Their idea of A grade might vary a great deal from ho.

Very clean. Nice job. I've always wondered why they liked having thr triggers exposed. I know they're single action, but stil...

Welcome from Sequim,Washington. I've often wished the handles would be curved so that when down, the would go down to the body so thread would not get stuck under it. Very nice job!

Thanks guys. Yeah, don't know about the practicality of the thing. Looks like the best use for it would be a paint scaper. The handle seems long and skinny. The blade short and fat. But, Ours is not to wonder why......

Nice job!

A friend of mine just bought this for his son in New Mexico. He said he would've killed for a tool like this when he was younger. Anyway, it came in a plastic/fantastic and he hates those. Kind of a strange knife/cleaver/spatula? CRKT = Columbia River Knife and Tool.

I like it. Well done.

Pretty cool.

I agree with Pastor Bob. Not really li,ing the single layer out on the end. Not sure what I could do to make that work better than an avenger or pancake. I do appreciate seeing something different though.

Nice job! Never owned one... Feeling kinda deprived....

I want a clicker press. I'm using a one ton harbor frieght arbor press with a two ton adapter (pipe!) On the handle. I've already broken one in half...

Just the other day I went to use my cobra. The needle would go up and down, but would not feed. OMG! What is wrong. Just about to panic when I decided to try it in reverse... it was in the middle... Neutral I guess.. all good now. I'm still not totally un-clenched.

I have a couple of denim bags filled with BB's I use for carving and tooling. And I found 4 old sad irons at a garage sale for 3 bucks each. I hitthemwith a wire wheel and glued some scrap on bottom for patterns.

No, I have not compared them. For my tooling this works fine. If I did more sheridan style, that might change.

I have also heard of using shark or stingray to get a rougher grip. Ne experience myself however.

I sprung for some BK tools past winter after the wife got me a gift certificate from them. What a difference. After using the extra steep checkered beveler I just can't use anything else.

Aussie may be right. Looks like your bevel is on the wrong side. Groove down the needle goes onthe left.

Very nice! She will be quite happy with that. I like the liner too.

I think it's pretty cool. Could've done Harry Potter's buddy..
