maybe its upside down? Looks like it if its for right handed people.

Steam punk got its start in redneck engineering. I dont see no duct tape lol.

Thank you all !! I agree there is no better book to cover, good reading also!!

Thanks Bob i resisted it then taped it off and airbrushed the dyes canyon tan and bison brown on the edge.

i like them because i can hold them straighter and still see what I'm doing.

Darnit new tires got in my way. But sooner or later i will be tinkering also. Po folk got po ways!

Thanks Walter! she sure did.

It doesn't take many more than about ten hand cut straps before you realize how well it does work. lol

and sharpen the blade! finishing takes time more money and some more products that cost more to you. Of course you know that. It cuts straps then gets thrown in a bin, box, or drawer how pretty does it need to be?

a guy can can always make it more complicated heck maybe even figure out a way to tie to your i phone LOL. Make it so it needs an update weekly to run it. then quit providing service for those and sell em a new program and start all over again next year.

lets see what cha got! I'm always up for a better mousetrap.

Thanks guys.

that is looking really good, i use a my belt sander or sandpaper to clean up curves and edges, careful with a belt sander or you can burn your leather. I like the sheath it reminds me of the one Burt Reynolds wore on Gunsmoke.

nope you can strop your kitchen knives if you want. wash them after ward. Steels are used for a couple of reasons one being because they wont get wet greasy etc and get ruined in the kitchen or butcher shop. A strop was originally used for razors, they are super hard and brittle steel, they were used to remove, straighten and polish the minute steel edge that forms when sharpening. A steel was used for the less hard knife steels, both do similar jobs on different types of steel. You can polish an edge on a number of things, i have several glass rods that i use also for the same purpose. Sharpening is what you do to get the edge, stropping or honing polishes and keeps the edge sharp until it wears to the point of having to re-sharpen again.

Thank you all!!!!

Any rivet will do that if the leather isn't glued or sewn together just don't set them tight if they have a small head use washers on them so they don't pull through.

i use pig suede alot the stuff i get is about 1 mm and soft as any thing else you could use.

yup the best answer is always no answer but very hard to do. I was taught different in professional training. Was also taught about plausible deniability too that is really a good one! lol.

question for you? Can you make and sell a tee shirt? Answer =yes. You cant use someone elses pattern to do so. You cant use a brand name on it unless its yours. Make your own pattern! make your own briefcase.

yup

use a resist on anything you dont want dyed first. i use a small brush wipe the excess off so it doesn't drip. Some folks do use the fillable markers

thanks! all knife work except for one camo tool a seeder, beveler and background tool..

My wifes Bday present.

You can use any length you want i dont think length matters as much as width. you need to match you hole size to your thread size.
