Till the smell is gone or can't stand waiting any longer. I've never tried it myself, it's just something I've read.

I would definitely deactivate the tap and go feature. And speaking to others who paid by card in this establishment should show whether their card reader is the problem. But as far as I understand, the card details can be read at a distance anywhere (depending on how you carry and store your card), so the hacking may have nothing to do with the Legion at all.

Very nice! I like the single leaf a lot!

Two possibilities: Try airing the watch band for a while (outside of direct sunlight). You could also put it in baking soda (if you can get it cheaply) or alum. Regarding edge paint in general, do you absolutely need it? Do you use any other dyes? You could try dyeing the edge (possibly with vinegaroon, that doesn't smell good either, but once dry it's okay) and waxing it.

Caveat: I only know archery from Robin Hood movies. But my first idea was plumbing pipe as well. The second, if plastic is unacceptable, a leather insert bag. One big tube with two dividers would do. Depending on how much wear there is on the inside of a quiver, I would not even glue it (supposing the leather is stiff enough to stay in place), but just sew the two layers of leather together at the mouth of the quiver. That way the two parts can be separated for repair.

I wouldn't trust one of these rivets for the purpose (too short, too slippery). Sam Brown stud would be better (buy new ones, then the old ones will reappear). Or a button as mentioned by @chuck123wapati

I think so, too. I sold crocheted flowers on an elastic ring (they sell fabric-coated elastic rings as hair ties in the cosmetics section of dollar stores) (€ 5/piece). You'd need a much smaller piece of leather that could remain flat and look good just floating on the pony tail. A little butterfly? Or a flower shape. Or... No scrap would be too small. Those hair ties also make bracelets for slim wrists. Maybe I should try some (no longer have hair to tie, but wrists are ok). @chuck123wapati How much are you selling your hair claps for?

Probably not, as that would be extremely fiddly with a risk of pulling on hairs. But the design with the holes is tried and tested. However, the guy who made this one stopped producing them because they took too much time for the price people were willing to pay.

I have enough knives I am happy enough with (but no boxcutters), and if I am unhappy, it's because I haven't sharpened them well enough. But cutting through tires like that is in a different league, IMHO.

Beautiful! Never seen one with a snap before. I know them with two holes in the leather through which a stick is pushed. I believe the stick will take more pressure than the snap and the holder needs to fit tightly so as not to slide down. But the snap may work - please keep us posted.

Yes, I was seriously asking because I am generally unhappy with utility knife blades...

That's what I thought at first but then I wondered whether one doesn't need thicker leather for the outside of the wallet and thinner for dividers inside? I've never made one so I don't know... @Tjohnson That would mean two thicknesses, which should be doable.

What are people actually buying? What do your two years of experience tell you? What we think is fairly irrelevant, important is what people spend their money on.

Absolutely. Like this it's a display piece that tells a story, without the badges just an abused old strip of leather.

Does it still hold its shape if you cut off a piece that is small enough to work with? While it wouldn't be strong enough for a clicker die, maybe it would make enough of an impression to do away with the scratch awl for drawing the pattern?

Really beautiful! And the way the patterns are designed I don't think there's much risk of abrasion on the threads (though please keep us posted over the years). I am a bit afraid for the colour, though. If those were my things the white would not stay white for long (so I wouldn't replace the screws by rivets... Much easier to just surprise your wife with new handles some day. Actually, different handles might be a nice idea even if the white does not get dirty...

Nope. Just walked past some roof sheeting yesterday and its scallops are much too big for a belt that needs to go through loops to hold up trousers. For a purely fashion item it might work...

If you will either move the whoole box from time to time or dig through it to find a certain tool, a retention strap makes sense. If there's no movement ever, you can probably do without. My two cents...

Carrots for the horse, that's really nice!

I get how it could work as a coin purse (though I wonder whether it wouldn't have been easier to put the zipper between the two layers), I get how it might work for self defence if full of coins, but I do not get how one could at least not this version. Do you have an example of how to wear it? @Bawarrior Nice design and much better executed than I could do it!

In Germany and France we are allowed to have and wear as many holsters as we like, as long as we only use them to carry a banana (like the Costa Rican police at one time) - or similarly inoffensive items.

Nope, they are beamed up by Ikea, cut into pieces and put into the dispensers in their stores. Generally I take back a handful when I am there...

What for? I like neither the look nor the handles (practically all ma bags have a shoulder strap)...

What I dislike about Yangzhi tools is not their location or nationality, but the fact that they don't have a website. But then, I am not an Instagram user and have no idea how it works. If you are happy buying there and can't find a local manufacturer (!), go ahead. I figure the Chinese people must fix their government themselves if they are unhappy with it. I buy from China if I need to (a Seagull watch only available from the manufacturer), if things are very much cheaper (usually I get what I paid for) and recently because I forgot to check the seller's address on Amazon (but then it was the only one for this exact product). Mostly I avoid Aliexpress because of the horrible search engine and the awful descriptions...

That's a brilliant idea! There is also a commercial solution: Short magnetic sleeves that fit around a pencil, like this https://www.thomann.de/fr/art_of_music_magpen_bleistift_mit_magneten.htm Music supply houses have them to stick a pencil to the stand (and then you discover that your stand is aluminium. My pencils stick on the fridge...)
