I would like to tell you thanks for the pattern

there was a pinn on somewhere on this web site that said you should not sew across leather like you did because this can make it weak when I sew a belt I just sew down the sides and that should be strong enough to whole your linner on hope this helps and also your belts looks good I hope this help

could any body tell me if the books on leather project you can do your self worth getting any help would be nice thank you

you might want to watch sew across the belts like you do because they can tear off like a ticket

I done to motorcycle seats they both had plastic pans and I use staples with no problems then on the seat I used 4 5 oz then 2 3 oz on side pandle hope this help a litte bit

Across tip to tip is 4 5/8" it measures 1 3/4 from the straight line from tip to tip down to the radius. Handle measures 7/8 across. You can make the handle as long as you want to fit your hand. I used a round knife that I had to trace around. Then to get my angle that I wanted I drew a line around 1/2" around the radius and then 3/4 then taper up to these lines. When you get your knife cut out try and make sure that around the radius is smooth with no divets around it. I used a file to shape the angle but you can grind it but try not to get it hot. You can use water to keep it cool while you work on it. After you get the shape you want then start polishing. 400 grit sandpaper up to 1200 grit then use jewelers rouge to finish it. For the rivets in the handle I got a 1/8" brazing rod and took the flucks off and use them. you can google knife making is where I got some of my ideas from. Take your time and you can do this. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

thanks you should be able to make one for your self if you try

man them look really nice

thanks but I think I will hang on to it to see if I can wear it out

Thanks for the nice words. Right now it is very sharp. I used it to cut out the case I made for it. The blade came from an old saw mill that a friend of mine knows. then I took a 4 inch grinder and cleaned up the edges and then used a file to get the shape that I wanted. I started with 400 grit to 1200 grit to polish it. And no I did not cover the hardware because I put a plug in it that should have given me enough room to not scratch it.

erevy thihg that I looks veary good keep up the good work
