I like floral, which ever you pick do a few practice pieces first before starting on your project.

cant wait to see what you do with it!

What do you plan on doing with it? A sewing awl is for punching holes in leather, a hardware store/scratch awl is for marking lines. As with any leather tool you can buy expensive or make do that is up to you.

beautiful work you should be extremely proud!! top rivet

the secret is in how much post you leave after cutting it off, takes some practice.

Hello!

what zulu and fred said but i would glue the sandpaper onto a popsicle stick so it doesn't round the edges on the outside then stick some to a drill bit of the right size for the inside. you wont need much on the inside. then touch up the brass piece too, it gets worn also.

wish i could tool like that!!

REALLY NICE!!

amazing detail for such thin leather. those are awesome.

very nice looking, that small holder is an awesome idea!! Selling for me is about the same I hate it, been looking at all the spring bazaars going on locally Jeez i hate going to those.

the leather holds just fine no need for any glue or burning. I pull mine out tight then cut them off so they kind of sink back in.

what an honor for you they are great looking holsters indeed.

actually i just posted what wiki had, its merits as fact are pretty iffy. I don't know much about the hat personally but i did know they weren't just for witch hunters or just puritans of that era. lol me too obviously. coincidently Ann Putnam was my 8th great grandaunt.

your a little off friend. A capotain, capatain or copotain is a tall-crowned, narrow-brimmed, slightly conical "sugarloaf" hat, usually black, worn by men and women from the 1590s into the mid-seventeenth century in England and northwestern Europe. Earlier capotains had rounded crowns; later, the crown was flat at the top. The capotain is especially associated with Puritan costume in England in the years leading up to the English Civil War and during the years of the Commonwealth. It is also commonly called a flat topped hat and a Pilgrim hat, the latter for its association with the Pilgrims who settled Plymouth Colony in the 1620s. Contrary to popular myth, capotains never included buckles on the front of them;[1] this image was created in the 19th century.[2]

hi from wunerful Wyoming i like your bike.

Beautiful work I envy anyone who can do that work. !!!! leather or not. My family had a 59 fury.

i dont see the band aids? Jeez talk about taking all the fun out of losing stuff you did a great job!!!!! really like the sheath.

should work nicely on those pesky varmints lol.

Right tool for the job, the knife depends on the type, thickness, shape of the leather or pattern you intend to be cutting. so you will be getting a lot of confusing reply's unless you can give more info. Are you making saddles or watch straps?

i mark alignment centers with a small awl mark right at the edge of the leather, it then gets cut off burnished or stitched over. Or in a place that will be covered or removed like a snap spot or hole. no one but you will ever notice unless you go crazy deep with the marks,

i use a round awl, put just a very tiny mark, or dividers for lines. I use pencil too once in a while very lightly then erase it, get a good gum eraser.

lol thanks!!

does anyone have a pattern for these?
