that is sweet!!

yea pretty much three pieces of wood and a blade.

it seems it was made by slc same as the tandy one looks like to me.

yes haven't you watched elmer fudd hunting wabbits. you have to be very very quiet. Seriously Your best bet would be to go to a hunters safety class and join it and learn about it from experts. Yes ethical hunters always try to make it fast and painless.

outstanding!!!

they make a variable speed control for routers, they are cheap and may help out in slowing it down enough to use. Just google i think they are about 30 bucks or so. you could have any body with a wood lathe make you a burnishing wheel to fit it or you could make a wheel with your router also.

they look wore out to me.

another masterpiece!! your painting work is great, i learned a lot from Bob Ross he called them Happy mistakes.

you need to wet form the bend before applying the finish.

those are really nice!!!

Missed this post a huge thanks to all veterans!!! Freedom isn't free and these men and women have paid for it as well some are still paying that price. God bless you all! Thank you friend.

I found that also, now I don't fight it I either air brush or I Use a piece of natural sponge that produces a mottled/ splotchy job but it looks to be a lot more natural splotchyness. i learned the technique from water color painting. I agree dip dying is about the only other way for a nice even job.

use an air brush.

could you explain also for the sake of the thread and reinvention lol. If this reducer would or wouldn't work on a sewing machine. I love mechanical things, theories and problems and this stuff is quite interesting.https://www.amazon.com/MLCS-9410-20-Amp-Router-Control/dp/B001NIK6PC

heck yea! for more than just leather too it would make a very versatile tool.

Awesome !!! half the fun is making the tools especially when they turn out so well. a nice wooden burnishing spindle would be a nice upgrade .

holy cow i was kind of wondering why you were asked to make one now i know lol. $16.90 to my door

where there's a will there's a way!

the whole strap is only 8 bucks cant you buy this stuff in Canada?

good job friend

My two cents, i have tried about four different home style machines, a couple would sew ultralight leather, 1 mm or so thick but with great difficulty and a lot of tinkering your wife wouldn't like. I've went down that road wasted a bunch of time, leather and money and found out what others already knew. I'm sure more knowledgeable will chime in but as far as any real leather work the answer is no. The leather machines costs thousands for a reason.

set it on a number like 2cm/inches cut a test strap then measure the strap, the difference is your offset.

nice indeed! adjustable cant is a great idea most folks have a few unused holsters for just that reason.
