  1. I used the type on the left (SLC I think ) for a while and wasn't real happy with it . Bought the OSBORNE on the right and it made quite a difference for me . Being shorter it took a second to find a new hold but once I did it is as easy to use as the longer type. I think the added mass and a few thousands larger bell makes the difference but it might all be in my head
  2. I think Doc is right in that whatever the reason ( made to small or as a result of setting ) the spring has no where to go . It must have room to expand outward , it should be fairly loose in the female cup .
  3. I don't know how chrome tanned affects knife steel but have always heard not to use it . I have turned one guy down on making some sheaths for him because he already had his own leather ...... chrome tanned .
  4. @Bert03241 Thanks friend !!
  5. It would be worth a try to contact them ..... even if they will not sell to you , they should be able to put you in touch with a retailer . Pure hard headedness luck !

    My daughter and son-in-law lost their dog of 10 years 2 weeks ago . This is my tribute to all the hearts this dog touched and it was quite a few . Now all I have to do is decide when to give it to them , I am leaning towards waiting a month or two . Just not sure about timing ............
  13. I have had good luck using a punch to expand the female part . Right punch and a couple of medium raps with my maul . Hope this helps .
  14. Really NICE leather and blades !
  15. Cool idea and very nicely done !!
  16. @dikman Thanks ! @Dwight You are absolutely right about the possum LOL !!! I squirrel hunted with a dog for most of my life , love to see a good dog work .
  17. Well Excuse me !
  18. Thanks! I do wish I had gotten my stitch line closer but hey if I ever do another I will know .
  19. AWESOME work !!!! I don't do the box stitch because I am no good at it . If I lay out my stitching holes on the body piece while it is flat , can I then just punch through those with an awl to get inside holes once I have formed and sewn the body up ?????????
  20. If you can stand the price ..... you really can't beat a Starrett !! I bit the bullet and bought one about 10 years into my carpenter career and never looked back !
  21. Thanks Chuck . No orienteering but around here if you walk a bearing for 30 minutes most likely you will hit some kind of road or trail .
  22. Looks good .
  23. While digging through some old stuff I found a broken compass ......... hummmm lost the bezel but at least it can be used again .
  24. Very NICE !!!
  25. Where are you going to buy from ? Make a deal with that business for a supply and like any other blade they could be sharpened several times before replacing . If you buy the tool online it most likely will come with a blade and the you are in hot water , good luck
