This is a bit of an old post, so I may as well add to it while I'm here.....This is one of three small pouches for holding 22's that I made for a mates boys, they'll easily hold up to 100 rounds.... Roger

Finished the last of this lot... Roger

Just finished this lot, not completely happy with them but improving... Roger

Nice work....your knives ? Roger

No, I always put in a 2 or 3 mm thick, 10 to 12 mm wide welt on the outside edge. It protects the stitching from the blade and the blade from the rivets. A bit hard to see in the pics..... Roger

Finished the last two sheaths for this bloke...top one is a small of the back sheath for a camp knife, the other is a second sheath for his " Lion Killer " knife. Here are all four ready to go... Roger

Working on it Chuck, working on it ...

Finally getting some gear finished... Roger

Just finished a couple knife sheaths for a bloke...

Cheers, all my leather is veg tanned. Roger

Thanks, I'm making some sheaths for a bloke who makes these fancy handmade knives and I was a bit concerned about the possible effect on the blades. Roger

What do you use inside a knife sheath, other than a lining, to protect the knife blade from leather...rust wise, etc?....wax, dubbin ? Roger

MW, yes, once I removed the brass base from the plastic case I knocked the primer out, ground away some of the brass to make it thinner and used a 6mm eyelet to attach to the leather and then pushed a used large rifle primer back into the hole. Roger

Western style skirt sheath for a bowie, can be worn left or right hand... Roger

A bit over 4" square and an inch deep not including belt loops... Roger

Just finished an ammo pouch for a blokes 458 Lott... Roger

I accept the praise and I welcome criticism...constructive criticism Roger

Made an ammo pouch for a mate of mine, for either 22's or air rifle slugs. First of this type of pouch I have made so there was a few mistakes....should have used a magnetic catch instead of the Sam Brown stud, wet molded the ends which was good but found that my fingernails scratched the soft leather when I was sewing..a few other things I would do differently but thats for the next one... Roger

I have a question that's a bit like hotdogs and buns...why is it that stitching punches are spaced in a metric size and stitching wheels are measured in spaces per inch ?? I cannot find a stitching wheel that matches any stitching punch.....or is it just me ?? Roger

From an Australian mob....Makers Leather Supply... Roger

Cheers, looks like I've found some ! In steel. Roger

Thanks anyway...item no longer available.... Roger

Does anyone know what these are called and where I can get some ?? Can't find anywhere in Oz that sells them !! Roger

That striped elastic that is used to under a horse to hold the saddle on.....girth strap.... Roger

...you'd be surprised how handy it is !! Roger
