If you want the exact size i believe I have figured that out Copper pipe is measured as nominal So a 1 1/2 pipe is 1 1/2'' OD which would make the ID or actual cut of the leather slightly off. But if you use a Fitting, such as a cap the id of the cap is 1 1/2''

swivel mount

1 1/4'' sch 40 black steel pipe is 1.660 OD [outside dimension] 1 5/8'' is 1.625 so. would a 1 1/4'' sch 40 blk steel nipple with a cap work as your 1 5/8'' round punch drive? the difference is .035 that is like a 1 /32 over

Wrong forum, Not really showing off just showing an idea i saw on etsy. I saw it, stole it. and changed the length to avoid a possible infringement. Christmas is approaching and here an idea for gifts

DUH!!! WTH didn't i think of that !!!

another money saving trick. If your hammer gets wore out, you can replace the polyurethane with a polyurethane skateboard wheel or buy a wheel and make your own , might want to buy an axle also.

LOL...WELL... I tried your suggestion. and the machine shop wanted to charge $45.00 PER tool to turn them SO. i just got the dermal out and did a redneck job on them

I saw that, I picked up a set of the black chisels, so far i like them I did not eee the thread, and am in need of a different thread supplier When i order waxed thread i want waxed thread, not some thread that was made in a factory that had a candle in the window

Beautiful belt. good craftsmanship , messy work bench, looks JUST like mine here is an idea for you. I have started installing grommets in the hole where the belt buckel comes through. I like the look, and customers ilk the idea the leather is not going to stretch at that point. You can also get creative by using contrasting colors.

6 plat braid is 6 piece of cord drill 3 holes in the stick thread each hole now you have 6 cords ends , braid the walking stick

here is the basic idea. you can adjust the jig to hold your round blade

I gotta be the wise arse of the group. this is what I picture The first time someone goes grocery shopping the stuff is going to get set on your work station. Then a ''whatever'' will appear out of nowhere You will set it on the floor but the whatever's will keep coming one after another. A clean desk is a magnet for whatevers to lurk about. LOL Nice personal space. should serve you well Can I make a suggestion? go to home depot, they have some black yellow storage totes . you can stack 2 and they are the height of your work table. and will keep your leather projects clean , i put a 2'x4' plywood on top and use it as a cut station/ storage

LOL LOL.ME TOO or #metoo and i have a thumb 1/4'' shorter than the other thumb and a index fingger with the tip missing. I know the ER guys by first name and have added them to my Christmas card list.

do you have access to a belt sander? tilt the table on the sander that your work sits on up in the front, the degree of the bevel mount the blade on a piece of angle iron with a bolt in the center holding it to the angle iron slide the angle iron with blade attached against belt sander WHY??? a brass closet bolt??? the head is flat, will not impede the blade

LOL PIMP DADDY the plague Doctor. LOL I LOVE IT

I LIKE THAT. I wish I knew you were making that, I would have loaned you this

lol yeah i guess 1800 was a tad bit high . i thought he meant 18.00

red arrow points to the spacing adjustment remove the screw, apply lock tite on the threads place the screw back in the hole align the cutter on the brass base at a 90 degree angle tighten the screw, ++++++to remove screw with lock tite applied plug in your soldering iron hold iron on screw head to heat lock tite after screw is heated , turn it counterclockwise to remove
