very nice!! is that carved or stamped?

excellent work my friend!!!!

sweet calculator !!!!! sure takes out the brain work lol. Thanks, I will be saving that.

2 to 5 then 5 to 2 would negate it completely 3 to 2 would negate it somewhat. what is your maximum intended output rpm?

The only good reason i can think of not to buy it is that you need the money for something more important like eating. Or that your wife will get pissed maybe lol. I'm always searching the thrift stores. Leather reuses really well IMO, plus its good stuff to practice on make patterns etc. Also to deconstruct to see how things are made is always a good idea too.

Hey if you want to make it that's no skin off me i felt i had to say something some folks just don't think full circle when it comes to carrying a weapon that could get a guy in any number of legal or deadly problems if you lose it drop it or it gets taken. Anyone i make a holster for gets my opinion with it and if I don't think it will work I don't make it just that simple to much liability.

Personally i would use a belt loop, and here's why after 30 years working in a prison and talking to thousands of criminals and law enforcement trainers I can tell you for a fact thugs go for your gun area first, they grab there no matter if your concealed or not and if your gun is on a clip they can get it off of you. With a loop It may take a couple minutes more to put it on in the morning but it will still be there to take off in the evening. another thing in the heat of the moment you may pull your holster out with the gun which wouldn't be good either. Contrary to what most folks believe criminals think about this stuff as if it were their profession and some are very good at it. I know a considerable amount about criminals behavior I was in maintenance so wasn't considered a "jigger", I ran inmate work crews as well as fixing their in cell problems so they would talk freely to us often bragging and i made it a point to learn all i could from them and pass it on to everyone I can.

Hi!!

Good list. I like the fork, historically correct for period work lol. I have a sheath that i made using only a pocket knife, a single piece of leather strap and some leather shoe lace. Its not a fashion statement by any means but its worked for over 40 years.

man you have a unique and wonderful style. Beautiful!!

i got one of those humpbacked bowie blades from a friend one time, i took my Dremel tool, all i had at the time, and cut the hump off and made it a drop point. with your humpback bowie your sheath can be made the same way as a straight blade it will just have to be wider to fit.

you be careful man that heat stroke is no fun!! stay hydrated..

i do it like him also but i will add the needle positions are also determined by the direction of the angle of the holes and the direction you are sewing. if you sew front to back then placement is different than sewing back to front for example. I didn't watch the whole video maybe he mentioned that.

"Leatherwork" covers thousands of products and thousands of tools of every kind. could you be a bit more specific. sewing machines. stamps, hammers, knives???? No single company makes everything. What do you plan on making, boots, bags, holsters? Everyone has their own opines mine is vintage/ antique tools overall are better quality than the majority of the modern stuff i have tried.

beautiful as always. i love that period type of tooling you do it really makes them unique.

A picture of your blade would help, most of the d guard bowies are straight blades with a clip point and many of the period sheathes are simple fold over /taco type sheathes. Most of those i have looked at had no means to secure the blade, because its length doesn't make it a blade that will easily fall out of its sheath. Period sheath could mean about anything in this case most folks in the 1800's either personalized the existing sheath or made their own the best way they knew how.

yup and available feed is the reason, you can look at the United states on google earth for the best image. Where the Midwest ends and the west begins you will see a distinct color change the earth goes from pretty green to desolate brown. That big brown brown area is where the wild west happened and where farms stopped and ranches started. Why because there was little water and even less fertile soils. After the civil war broke assed men, now known as rootin tootin cowboys would gather wild Spanish cattle and herd them out into that big dry brown area, about a 1/3rd of the US, let them feed on what little grass there was then herd or after the railroad was built ship them back to the Midwest to feed lots which btw were invented at this time to fatten up those range cattle before sale for slaughter. Why because the Midwest has plenty of good feed while the west doesn't. So out here where i live there is a marked difference between ranches and farms and a marked difference on how raising cattle is successfully done. There is little green pasture land to do both, winter cattle and graze cattle in the summer. It was and still is a very precarious business out here. one bad winter or one dry summer could make a rancher sell off most of his entire herd no matter what age they are. You folks in the Midwest can easily feed a cow forever for free and let it have as many calves as you want. Its amazing as i write this i realize the picture in each of our heads of a cows life. i see them daily out in a vast desert wandering miles through sagebrush and sand feeding on what little they can find while some of you may have a much different picture of cattle lazily standing around grazing in rich succulent grass. ya gotta love the world as it is.

Both references from Canadian sites. Veal means the meat of a bovine animal that has the maturity characteristics set out in Schedule I to Part IV and a carcass weight of 180 kg or less as defined in the Livestock and Poultry Carcass Grading Regulations established under the Canada Agricultural Products Act. Any carcasses not meeting the "veal" definition must be labelled as beef. So that they will constantly give milk, dairy cows are artificially impregnated every year. After a nine-month gestation, calves are routinely taken from their mothers days, or sometimes just hours, after being born. Male calves are sold to veal farms at auction and will be slaughtered at about five months old, while females will eventually become dairy cows themselves. These young females will never be nursed by their mothers, however; all of their milk is destined for human consumption.

yes my son is a youtuber two years into it and only about 160 followers he is planning on becoming rich and famous.

i never noticed the date but wonder why it popped up if no one commented recently, could be someone I cant see I guess. oh well!

yup

yup cattle ranching is done differently even here in the US. it is really dependent on how much natural feed they can get on the land they have to use that created the different methods long long ago.

Statistically yes but reality is no. Veal comes from two month old's at the latest.so no the herd isn't 50 /50 more than a couple of months on any dairy farm. Sorry Sheila its about money and profit and dairy people and ranchers are not making money feeding critters they cant feed for free that is the reality of life on a farm or ranch.

very cool!!!! i use something similar for rabbits too, longer ties so the rabbits drag in the snow the fleas if they have any fall off behind you that way lol.
