    i use weldwood its good stuff and in most hardware stores.

    or you can line it completely and just use a card slot for the check book backing to fit in. But my point is the leather at the fold has to be the same thickness all the way across the item or it will do weird stuff.

    take out the "reinforcement", problem solved. All the patterns for check books i have use two pieces inside for the pockets not one with a slot in it. your overthinking things to much.

    i quickly looked at one of the patterns i have 2 -2 1/2 oz inside and 4 oz on the outside is called for in it. I think you could get by with 5 oz on the outside if you want. oh and it calls for two separate pieces inside for the pockets so no reinforcement along the edge.

    wowzers!! i love your use of the stamp there!! Amazing texture on that.
  13. chuck123wapati
    man that rocks !!

    very cool I like the look of the one with the weave on both sides.
  15. chuck123wapati
    i use both while working on projects mm's are much easier to figure than fractions but then if you use older patterns and most American made instruction books they are in inches so you have to adapt a bit to get something built. Its just the world we live in today lol.

    considering that is the side of the holder and if you carry the holder in your right hand the picture of the flag will be facing the correct direction the way it is now. star field to the forward
  17. chuck123wapati
    man that looks really nice!!! The direction of the flag in the picture is ok. the field of stars is always towards the pole when hung outside or carried or if on an arm patch the field will be to the front of the person. We wore our flag patch on the right arm so the field was on the right facing forward when looking at it. when it is hung on a wall you are correct in its positioning.

    Another thing some chisels are measured tip to tip in mms while some others the gap between tines is measured in mms

    you will also need the right buffing wheels, you probably cant order from this site but it does have info on the different types and thier uses. https://www.mcmaster.com/Buffing-Wheels/ The compounds also have uses for different applications, mine came with a chart showing each colors use.

    "Our Boots" A wonderful book given to me a little while back ,Thank you Mike!!! about the Inuit women's method of making mukluks, states that the sinew is used and sewn dry. they still use it because it swells when wet and seals the holes preventing leakage. They also have a certain stitch that produces a very tightly sealed seam.
  22. chuck123wapati
    the "indigenous groups" Of north America also used it in conjunction with hide glue or glue made from fish skins often as a backing on bows not only for sewing or hafting arrows. I salt mine slightly when drying so i can chew it soft for sewing or using and it tastes better lol.
  23. chuck123wapati
    I'm gonna have to look into this stuff lol.
  24. chuck123wapati
    i use it for period stuff mountain man / rendezvous era around here and also carry it in my pack its some good stuff out on the trail. . Real sinew is much different stuff to work with i take it off my critters and scrape off the meat, dry it out then it has to be re- hydrated to use. It drys like rawhide and is strong as heck.
