https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KDHYKS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 these are worth the money. I bought one, and I gave one to chuck. Maybe he will see this and give his opinion This is a very sharp blade. Imo, as sharp as a razor blade, And I stropped it any way.

I buy the cheapest wally world diamond awl i can find, then reshape the blade with a belt sander to fit my personal needs . I remove the thin to wide taper, I like my awls thin and slightly blunt I am opening an existing hole not creating a new one. For punching a new hole , I use a very sharp awl, ''scary sharp''

Love your Work I have an tribute idea for your next project. You may or may not like this. but here it is you see a old grave yard in front of you with headstones surrounded by a 30'' antique cast iron fence a big oak tree is on the left.branches shade the small grave yard and Spanish moss hangs from the limbs In the back ground is a old church with a steeple. The names on the grave stones that sit crooked are of fallen Brothers that you have known

https://www.harborfreight.com/6-piece-hollow-punch-set-67030.html use these in your press 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in., 7/16 in., 1/2 in.

VERY nice portrait of your lovely daughter GOOD work,

I research the dimension of the gun...the only critical measurement in most holsters is the slide the grip is not inside the leather annnnnnd...i have a bb gun 1911 that is the exact dimensions lol of a colt $8.00

make your own molds. the devil with paying 50 bucks for 3 dollars worth of plastic plywood and a jig saw

Mr Lentz, Next time you run into this problem. Have your customer make a copy of the gun Take the copy and glue it to some wood. cut it with a jig saw This is a Femaru M37

this might help you

tin snips. They come in sets of 3 the yellow handle is for straight cuts red is left cut, green is right cut if you have a band saw with a blade for metal, that would be your best [friend] bet a drill press with a #20 needle or what ever you wish. then punch your holes {LEAVE THE POWER OFF }

I made this ...not dyed, Or stamped Each coaster gets the MSGO stamp and of course everything gets a dye job Question is. what would you charge for a custom coaster set ? I am thinking $35,00 plus shipping thoughts?

you are correct, i do not have a gauge for that. i guess i better pick one up

ME At wally World with my mask on

That is the first thing I ever made out of leather and I am damn proud of the ugly sob I am sorry that the people of NI are ignorant as to the history of the south but that is what it is I can show you dozens of grave yards with confederate soldiers. . Black And White soldiers that disagree with the north in what that flag stands for Was our country wrong in having slaves? Yes it was. Did the UK have a hand in slavery? You bet your ass they did. Transatlantic slave traders Slave Trade was the richest part of Britain's trade in the 18th century. Slaves built Bristol, Liverpool and London Tidbit of fact. The rebel flag was hijacked by the white arian groups Much like the swastika was hijacked from budist monks
