i use polyester wadding like they use in quilts and such it doesn't break down like foam will.

not difficult just time consuming to resew it i would clean it up and sew a liner on the back or just resew the stitching and use some saddle soap and conditioner on it.

Very nice rig i like that color!!

cool knife !! and sheath!!!!

make your self a skiver! if you can make a blade you can make a skiver.

Thanks ! gonna have to check it out.

I understand you like it and don't mean anything about your tastes or likes personally it is some cool easy to do technology indeed. But you have to agree that wallet looks like something from Walmarts closeout section, the stitching, the machine marks and then a laser printed picture from some computer image program. It just is nothing I would want on my stuff it makes it look cheaply made IMO i wouldn't want my name on it.

amazing what a guy can do without a computer, a special cad drawing app, a 3d printer........

why? Anyone can buy that kind of product at Walmart.

perfection

not to mention a couple paring knives for the kitchen lol or even a full set.

yes if it fits the center hole would be very easy to do i don't think it will have to be a very large or deep scribe line to be easily seen.

Thanks Fredk i think I'm gonna do some experimenting, I was planning on trying to cast some stamps in brass but that is really time consuming i can only do wet sand casting at the moment and am not even good at that lol.

i was thinking a stud the size of your middle hole through a piece of scrap wood or plastic then screw a sharp screw through it to act as a scribe at the desired length, turn it over stick it in the hole of your jig and turn it to scribe the line for your perfectly centered target.

ditto unless you left out the welt.

yea i know full well i would have to sell a bazillion knives to recoup. Don't tell the wife lol.

very cool tool! if you could find a way to add circles or a circle like a target scribed into the plastic at what ever intervals you want for hole spacing you could do away with the tape. I love the K.i.s.s. method of making functional tools. Thank you for posting this.

very cool what product do you use for casting the letters? How much abuse does it take before you need to make new copies?

great first knife ida kept it lol. as a display model of course.

lol nothin like jumpin in with both feet.

and the leather tools section, Plenty of goodies that you can make yourself lol.

really good !!!

Don't worry friend you will have plenty of help here to make it as painless as possible LOL.

lol that's how I started and glad i had my mind fixed so i could change it. Matching holsters, matching belts, it doesn't end.

thanks! yes it would, but you will want a long gradual taper anyway no matter how far up the blade you carry it so chalk it up to a good piece to practice on. Knowledge gained is never a waste of time.
