  1. Japanese members or anyone that is in japan. I found an old Japanese holster from ww2, and the closure on it is crazy cool. I can not find anything like it here in the states I am wondering if you perhaps have this hardware item locally? A brass backing plate for a sam browne, CRAZY COOL, I want 100 of them

  10. here is a small simple project that maybe some of he new guys can benefit from, Are you a tradesman? Do you work with tools everyday? This is a tool sleeve that fits in your back pocket. It protects your jeans from getting rippled 3 pictures. one is the sleeve inside a pair of jeans, the others are the sleeve
  11. I use a triple hydrometer in another hobby of mine and found out rather quickly that an acrylic hydrometer will fall apart in front of your eyes and a glass one will not
  12. LOL I never even knew it was off till I heard it on the news..
  13. Thanks, i did actually spend a few hows in that rabbit hole. Beer and wine are OK IF They are in the bag for the day, not to be stored in the bag hard booze is out, you can not put it in he bag. As far as I can tell. no research has been done, that I can find on the hard booze, I have made one bag And picked up a commission to make 10 for a vendor at a renaissance festival Raw bag,, not dyd or treated
  14. Bounce some ideas off of me Here is what i have. A BEAUTIFUL piece of what looks like elk suede a rust color size is aprox 18'''' by 30'' I am leaning towards a retro 60's look purse.. folds over with no clasp and a lot of fringe [hippi style]
  15. I really like freds suggestion. I am going down a rabbit hole looking for small key eschtions I think the size that would fit a music box or such as that The image I posted is a WW2 japenese nambu #14 clam holster... If anyone is interested in the holster holler
  16. I saw something on a vintage Japanese holster and i want a bag full Has anyone seen these and if so where can I get them?
  17. Yeah, I found the scrappy scraps. they smell good.
  18. Chromium-vanadium steel(Cr-V) It has better strength and toughness than carbon steel, so it is a great material for high quality tools. Commonly used for wrenches, screwdrivers, manual sleeves generally use 50BV30 chrome vanadium steel.
  19. Makita, Snaps...oh how I hate them. some times you have to skive out a little dish if they are to short and sometimes you have to add a thin piece of leather. And i have found if the post is to llong, the post can be shortened using a dremel with a sand paper attachment.
  20. I have asked for help in the past and others have been kind enough to help me out so here is a pattern for any of you that piddly in your garage resize to a width of a 5 1/2'' 1x6 board have fun

    Drawing to DXF?

    thanks for the reply Tom. If you can pull this off you will be my hero. Yes i have a picture of a drawing here it is height of the oval is 48'' width is 24''' This is going to be 3-- 5 1/6 sheets of steel, with the writing on the 1st and 3rd sheet. the center sheet will not be cut out. outer sheets powder coat black center sheet powder coat blue NOTE. the width may have to change to accommodate the width of the lettering/this is understood
  22. Looking for someone that knows their way around a DXF file I need someone who can convert a drawing to a DXF file
  23. I Think I might change my strategy Ever hear of food grade epoxy? same stuff i made my beer mug out of
  24. I have plenty of pine trees out back. I will use the pine resin with nothing added except maybe a bug or 2 From my research you can indeed carry spirits in these. You can not store spirits in them {Or so I am told} SO, Drink up me mates. We can not let this rum sit in here all day. we must do our best to empty this jug
