    Good for alot of things. those are really nice looking. Cheap things do have their place unfortunately its the landfill and just more pollution in the end.

    you might try some cactus juice stabilizing resin, I've never tried it on skin or hide but it sure works on wood. If it does work all your problems are solved that's some tuff stuff. i've made a few sets of grips for the 1911 and my advise try and keep them close to original thickness meaning you may have to sand down the wood to allow for the thickness of whatever skin you use. its weird but the hand can feel the extra few mils. i may try some on leather when i get home again.

    i glued it to the outer piece of the sheath then glued and sewed on the border through everything, i think the next one i will run the border piece all the way around the belt loops also.

    yes it could i was thinking snake skin though and there aint much to skive or even be a problem lol. but again I don't know if snake could take the wear and i know nothing about the thickness of the other options.
  11. chuck123wapati
    interesting project, he has some nice grips alright, i would roll the skin edge under and maybe cut/ router a slight channel into the underside of the wood to hold the roll and allow the wood to still tighten down to the frame.

    thank you it got me work for two holsters and a knife and sheath so far at elk camp.

    i watch the marshal almost every day i just noticed his belt loops the other day, they used two rivets on each end. Gotta love the holsters shown on the series not to mention the surprise actors that came on. there was a really cool one on the other day a double rig and the holsters were put on smaller curved straps that hung down from the main belt if i remember they were hung by rings. Wish i could remember the episode.

    wouldn't it be the diameter of the case plus the leather thickness x2 at the least, you could probably make them wider if wanted.
  15. chuck123wapati
    lol yea i hate my brain sometimes it coulda been dreaming of hunting, fishing or just about anything else in the world instead of thinking. try it on a piece of lace if you can.
  16. chuck123wapati
    those are awesome. homemade tools created this craft and are as much a part of its history as any other. If you have a drill press you could make your handles by inserting a straight rod first then chucking it up and turning/shaping the wood with files.
  17. chuck123wapati
    wow really nice! almost to nice to set on lol.
  18. chuck123wapati
    that will look great when finished. my only suggestion is to try a smooth beveller between the letter and floral. practice makes perfect.
  19. chuck123wapati
    woke up from a dead sleep last night 2.00 am my brain said maybe its for burnishing lace. making round laces from square. four different sizes of round leather laces?

    i glue sand paper of various grits to them to sharpen my awls and such and to spread glue on larger pieces. I also use them in my other hobbies as well. in the US you can buy them at craft stores if you are some kind of ice-cream hater. Me i like to get them the hard way. i also use them to shim door hinges lol. There is a way to put them together to form a star shape and as kids we would throw them like frisbees, they explode/ come apart when they hit something.
  21. chuck123wapati
    check these out they are for wood turning, similar to pen making but i think you could cover them with leather also they are pretty cool i would try one but i gave up the gars a while back. https://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/55/6539/artisan-Cigar-Case-with-Cutter-Punch-Tip-Kit?term=cigar+case&term=cigar case

    They would certainly be a custom, money up front order. But he did a great job and someone will have the money in that hobby. when my kids were enrolled in the arts i used to call it takemoredough instead of taekwondo lol, everything they did cost me. Its an amazing piece of work CapnCohen

    lol i was in no way correcting you friend just adding a bit because it is a good idea. Lollipops here usually have round sticks and popsicles , ice-cream bars and the like have flat sticks so i just didn't know which you were talking about.
  25. chuck123wapati
    i use the sticks from popcicles the same way and sharpen my awls also with them. i imagine they are the same thing they can also be purchased unused at craft stores
