Nice looking weight belt. Basket weave is a good choice. That is an interesting buckle.

I can't view them. My computer doesn't even know what a .heic file is. Dwight has outlined a good way to upload your images here. I've had good results uploading .jpg or .png files that way. And welcome to leatherworker.net! I look forward to seeing your work.

There's no substitute for quality tools. They allow you to do your best possible work. That's true for any undertaking. Leather tools seem to be particularly so. Oh, yeah, I still have my first one. It's had a few tips replaced but I still have it.

Much like getting your first Snap-On screwdriver, huh?
-
I've used beveling tools of other types but never these. I will definitely remember to not go to the cheap side if I get one. Thanks for the information.
-
I've never used them. Good to know you are pleased with what they do. Maybe one day I'll give them a try.
-
Outstanding! Nothing is better than a vintage leather knife with a good edge on it.
-
Well, then. A good item to put your efforts on. Congrats.
-
Beautiful work on both the knives and the sheathes. I like the inlays in them. They really are matched sets. Thumbs-up!
-
I suspected that. Thanks. It's a good looking piece.

TandyPro - 35mm Japanese Style Flat Knife - Any Good?
MarshalWill replied to CalgaryJim's topic in Leather Tools
I made two skiving knives. One with a single bevel and one with a double bevel. They both work great but the single bevel seems to work better pushed along an edge, although I can use either. -
Looks mighty nice. Those handles are good looking. Is the lighter leather rigid enough to mold?

Which Hand Operated Sewing Machine works Best?
MarshalWill replied to MarshalWill's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
After reviewing the pros and cons, plus reading other threads, When the time comes, I'll most likely go with the Cowboy Outlaw. Thank you all for your great input. -
Beautiful! Very nice work. What a fine gift.
-
That looks good. It should protect that trowel for many years. Looking forward to your other projects when you get to them.
-
That's a pretty cool design. Very good work. Your friend should like it a lot.
-
The handle wrap is a good addition. It visually balances those handles with the sides. Nice choice, there.
-
That looks good. Nice, even lines and definitive 3-D work. Clean inside. Well done.
-
That's a much better looking one. It should do you well.
-
Congrats on the purchase of the other one. Is it an older Osborne?
-
Thanks for the photo. Yeah, the pitting is rough. There are some pits that really look deep. I'd take Bruce's advice on this. He's seen a lot of them in his time.
-
It might take a little more time to work it down but the steel should be nice and evenly hardened. Post a photo when you can. I like those old Osborn tools.
-
You can do it. Start on the rough side of an oil/water stone and work it down past the nicks.. When it's roughed in, change to the finer side of the stone and continue as you would any other knife, finishing up with whatever grits you normally use.

Which Hand Operated Sewing Machine works Best?

That could do it. A wooden pallet can weigh upwards of 50 lbs, and that's just a pallet. -

Thanks for this. It's good to know they don't weigh that much.
