@PastorBob Thank you Brother for the condolences and for your prayers . I didn't do to well this last year but God has seen me through !
To me it is more comfortable than a one piece and no there is no noise ( leather on a D ring ) might squeak if the leather ever got to dry .
@JDFred Thank you . Background tool came in a starter set , but the one in this link is almost if not the same . https://www.springfieldleather.com/Stamping-Tool-E294-Special
I haven't been doing much leather since my wife went home to the Lord . Just haven't been interested , any way this sling has given me something to do .
How do you know that @chuck123wapati
Packing tape front and back is your friend ........ and makes a pattern re-usable as far as the ballpoint pens go . But like you say if it's something you will be doing a lot of, the "tap-off " is the way to go .
Really nice !!!!!! The single strap is way more comfortable to me than the 90 cross in my back ( even done with leather ) . I bet the elastic is very comfortable
Well different strokes for different folks I guess ........ I like it better than the way it was . I have been on some forums that offer a few choices as to skins , backgrounds, and such .
