I don't see a logo on them anywhere. Will that get imprinted afterwards?
-
Those look good. Are they designed to hold a box of shells? No edge beveling, no dying, just cut out and assemble. Nice design idea.
-
Same here. Quite often 'less is more'.
-
Cut in half would be perfect. I'll stuff 'em in the chop saw, then.
-
Love those wrist pins! Great idea. I've been using a cutting block with a small anvil bolted to it. A friend of mine is in charge of the county maintenance department. I may have to hit him up for a couple of those.
-
Looks good! I like the simple border design. It doesn't overpower the shape of the pieces.
-
That's the stuff. Plain old printer paper. If there's a shiny side, use that. 1860 Army. The holster is a copy of one of Hickock's. To be really correct, it should be an 1851 Navy. It would be the same fit, though.
-
Here's what you can expect. The belt was not burnished but the holster was.
-
If you want a little more sheen, an hour or two after application, burnish the skidmore's with a piece of printer/typing paper.
-
That's looking mighty good. The stitching all the way around looks good. Skidmore's is great stuff. I use it on most projects.
-
LOL, at lease our results are consistent. If you just glance at the logo without paying much attention, it looks like they might have been trying to make a Singer-ish looking name on it.
-
I did a search including the model number (SB-6180-1) and really didn't get anything on it. There is a Singer 6180 sewing machine. It doesn't look the same so it isn't a copy of that.
-
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.
