Lexol is made from rendered cow brains and neats foot is made for rendered cow shin bones and feet they are not the same thing but are the same thing like a steak can be a porter house or a t bone they are both steaks but are different parts of the cow

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

Because of the offset holes you see in the image above I am making a Plexiglass template that has center marks, and you punch through the template holes

sprngfield changed up their site and to me, it is a bit wonky. hard to find stuff now

I line my holsters with deer or elk. what causes damage to the bluing on a gun is friction. and you are going to get friction on any surface you use suede after a time becomes burnished the same as veg tan. it all boils down to preference, I love this common sense comment, ''' wouldn’t the meat side of the leather be considered suede? So if we use no liner, it is effectually suede lined, and running the risk of capturing dirt grit etc.?''

I do not soak my leather in hot water or cold water in making my strop i simply glue a piece of leather on a board , works for me

I was having problems seeing and had it checked out seems i had cateracts. i had both eyes operated on and now I can see like a old buzzard The cost wasn't to bad, My insurance deductible was $150.00 per eye That includes everything But the eye drop meds were HIGH. I needed 3 eye drops My co pay was $15.00 each for 2 and $75.00 for the 3rd OUCH !!!!!!

I disagree with a veg tan liner go with a suede type liner, be it Pig, goat or deer or elk it is soft. veg tan will rub the blue off the gun over time
