It is not the tool, It is the person using the tool I would like at this time to introduce you to a TRUE MASTER CRAFTSMAN. who is using old hand tools

not on leather, but I use it on nylon straps. dip the end of the strap in the glue to stop it from fraying

Thats not a bad idea Not Bad...i think I likey that

I usually use Springfield leather i can get a 7oz veg tan double shoulder for $45.00 from them as opposed to 75-90 from other places. price matters and shipping is a deal breaker I am having Springfield send me 3- goat hides 7 sq ft each the shipping on that is only 9 bucks I hate it. it will cut there throat.

I just sent an email to tandy and told them to pound sand they changed the price of shipping to a straight $12.00 charge on all sales under $100.00 I was not aware of this and had a pattern in my cart. on check out. up pops $12.00 for shipping an envelope a $0.50 stamp would take care of? I deleted my order and sent them a grumpy email went over to the Steckstore bought the same exact same thing and was charged $2.00 shipping

AH... "POS " piece of ------

I have run into that. what is happening is the glue is soaking into the material. your material is porous what i do. is after the glue dries i add a second coat of glue. that will do the trick. curious. what does ''naff'' man?

Springfield leather has 2 different grades of elk hide economy and craftsman. the economy that i have bought has ragged skin and holes the craftsman grade i have had very good luck with beautiful leather. craftsman is about a buck or buck and a half more

could possibly be the reason you are not seeing a lot of leather hinges is the hinge is leather, it will stretch with time, the rod will become loose it is a fantastic idea, for an item that will not be used every day. their are reasons that we stopped using leather hinges and changed to metal that would be durability. i DO LIKE IT ,

love the box, that is thinking ''outside the box'' that hinge will last forever if the box is kept dry, oiled if it is left to dry out it will rot out

canvas, is what the military uses in wet condition
