ok...Then here is your ''fix'' measure your window, buy a piece of plywood that is that size. Home depot will cut it for you Have them cut a 4'' round hole in the plywood attach this to your widow. When you want to glue, open the window, when you are done close the window build a box, again they will cut it for you. Buy a bathroom vent fan ''fart fan'' attach the fan to the box, use 4'' flex duct from fan to the window

Hey Ya'll I managed to talk Chuck out of one of these awls Let me tell you something, This tool is SPOT ON. Not only does it look good The antler fits in my hand perfectly, AND, the diamond on the blade is oriented correctly to the hole in the work PLUS. The blade is so smooth. The butter in my refrigerator is jealous This is NOT a garage made funky tool, This is top shelf And is worth top dollar Thanks Chuck.

Springfield Leather Veg-tanned leather quality?
Frodo replied to brainmonster's topic in Getting Started
would you tell me the sku# of exactly what you bought? If you do not have the sku the product number or a link to the sales page. There are different grades and thicknesses trying to determine what you bought -
MAN, I thought you had made a whip

Mike, Welcome here from over there, I buy 99% of my leather from Springfield. Their might be other places but the people there treat me right. and i can pick up the phone and get answer's to my questions. Or They actually let me talk to the person who is cutting the leather for my order. Plus the girl who answers the phone has a sesse voice LOL

I stopped using Tandy when they went stupid with the shipping price Seems some dumbass decided that the shipping cost is $12.00 no mater what you buy. I wanted a simple pattern and the cost was like 5 bucks All it is , 2 sheets of paper in an envelope, When i got to check out. they wanted $12.00 shipping , I do not mind paying reasonable shipping cost but I will not stand still for **** I deleted my account and have not been back. I buy my leather from http://springfield leather and most of my hardware from http://steckstore -

This is the only tool in the kit I found to be worth keeping the awl, broke, the punches bend and are not very well detailed
