    yes it would spin the work in a hand drill while using it against the sander. I ve made numerous round things that way including lifters, scribe and modeling tools out of stainless all thread. i was finally able to afford a small bench lathe just a year ago. fine work there friend!!!

    i turn my rotary punch upside down, hold it tightly closed and whack it with a rubber mallet to use it for making multiple holes. the punches are aligned at opposite sides so it works well. use the opposite punch against a cutting surface like you would hand punches.

    Man i have always wanted to see Australia, the outback looks a lot like the desert around here. we have a western meadow lark here that makes a nice song they live near water usually so around the little ponds , rivers and lakes you can hear them sing all day long.

    lol i have a piece of leather speckled because i was sanding a knife by it as soon as i wetted it to tool .......tiny black speckles. the iron reacts with the tannins used in the tanning process turning the leather black so any iron that touches it wet will turn it.

    Awesome!!!! steel wool works fast but any regular iron of will work Nails for example . it doesn't have to be just steel wool if you ever run into this problem again..

    What do you apply to keep the leather conditioned/ oiled/ leather needs lube of some sort to keep its flexibility, Another thing to think about if he continually gets it wet the oils will eventually wash out and leave stiff dry leather that cracks. if you sent it conditioned and flexible then maybe all you can do is educate the customer on proper maintenance of his leather.

    i like it too beautiful rig friend. work is always good therapy for a down spirit imo! And praying for your fast recovery.

    none of the copies i have seen really match, i think a pear shader is the key the leaves don't look correct in most of them IMO. some look like an embossing wheel actually.

    i love watching them, they chase each other all day long. we have a few different species, mostly sparrows, but we have a set of hawks that live across the street in the neighbors pine tree. Deer strong arming the neighbor for apples lol.

    lol a pencil and paper are faster for me than a computer its a quick sketch, would need some refining for sure but that the just of it, , a camo tool a pear shader, a few knife cuts and a standard backgrounder. from what i can see but i cant see that well. Hope i have helped good luck ps now i have another pattern too lol.
  16. chuck123wapati
    yup this is what i see as the basic pattern 3/4" wide 1/8" borders tapered to a 1/2" buckle

    the pattern repeats and you have it all in that pic the final is all you need now.
  19. chuck123wapati
    i think its the same pattern but the original is much better done. The copy has been carved to thin to add the camo tooling and more background shows. the original has almost zero background and fills the whole strap.
  20. chuck123wapati
    Well double dang your right and the design is thicker, takes up more space on the strap
  21. chuck123wapati
    oops posted someone elses work instead of my own but it is a nice style and work all credit to Patrick Slivka
  22. chuck123wapati
    a pancake style doesn't need a strap tension holds the knife in place.
  23. chuck123wapati
    i think a guy could enlarge those pictures and get a good design, but dang i just spent 20 minutes lookin at cool hats!!
  24. chuck123wapati
    very nice rig, i like that wide lacing you don't see it often enough anymore and that shooter makes a sweet little package for a crossdraw.
  25. chuck123wapati
    that is nice, tell us about the forming and how did you sew the bottom.
