That's awesome work especially if tis your own design.

he looks delicious. lol

I would say its possible but i have never heard of it happening, doesn't mean it didn't. There are many prairie rattlers here but most are small enough that typical boots are high enough to protect you . I have killed a couple four footers in my life but they are rare.

Turned out great!

you could use the same beveled cutter they do for the matting if you leather is thin enough. Possibly go to a framer and see if they will cut the bevels for you.

i thought it was because the scots asked for AHEM but the seamstress thought they were just clearing their throat. lol You have some cool knowledge friend.

Thats good most folks dont know what an MSDS is. i found this quote might help. Since tiny gas molecules such as Acetone and Formaldehyde will pass right through HEPA filters, air cleaners Acetone removal must contain advanced gas filters besides just efficient air purifier HEPA filters which catch the tiniest of particulates, but not gases.

. You need to get the MSDS, material safety data sheet, for what ever product you are using This will tell you what personal respirator you may need as well as what you need to use to remove the fumes, You may not even need an extractor you dont know until you read the MSDS and in the case you don't need to remove the fumes for safety concerns but simply want to remove an odor you don't like then you can get by really cheaply. Get the MSDS they are free online or on the company site, here in the US they must provide you this info. and read it then you will have the knowledge you need to buy the products you need No one here can really help you until you know this info because they don't know either.

LOL Yea my Clan side went to Ireland, County Donegal, first then my great granddaddy came to the US in the 1840s. Had to be hard to move to Wyoming in the 1840s from a famine to the wild west and the same weather lol.

A cooling fan from an old computer would work also for such small projects.

If you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom or over your cook stove you can simply just do your glueing under one of those.

Honest answer: You have to read the MSDS sheet for the specific product you are using, it will tell you how dangerous it is to breath and what respirator is needed and any filtration or venting problems such as flammability.

Those are looking really good!

Great first project imo.

Good one. Yup they did and they came over here too. My grand mother was a Montgomery. So our country may be new but our people are the same old people with different clothes.

wow now thats concealed carry

That's a beautiful scabbard and will be an awesome gift to your son. I would treat it just like a saddle in rejuvenating it. Get the leather cleaned up and re oiled then work on the lining and stitching. I would use saddle soap and nfo. read the directions on the cans. NFO will darken it as will any rejuvenator because you are putting the stuff back in that has dried out. But nfo will lighten back up a bit as it evens out in the leather.

LOL Ditto just made a couple diamond blades from bare stock, was very easy on the back and didn't stink a bit.

ok whatever here they are called a set.

yea I take em off before they can fall off.

oh i understand now. Here's my bike can you put this set of forks on it VS here's my bike can you put a set of forks on it. yea no wonder.

You do amazing work!

Thanks!

Great start its gonna be a nice knife and a good learning experience. Yup you can sharpen back down to the temper easily if needed just take your time.

You want something like urethane plus make it replaceable. It's used as packing for electronics and such so you may be able to find it being discarded or you can buy it. its also used as personal flotation or those swimming pool toys.
