    Key chains, minimal card wallets, coasters, dog leashes. Bracelets. Dog collars. Every demographic area will change for hot seller products/inventory.

    Kangaroo is probably the best, but expensive. I use 2oz vegtan leather for my card pockets.

    Soak it in denatured alcohol or acetone then wring it out & let dry. Best advice i can give.

    I wanted to share these dies weaver made for me. I thought they were fairly cheap. But I had 4 made at once & they cut me a break on price. They do make nice dies. These at the time we're $68 each.

    Don't laugh. I need more space!

    Nice work! Looks great. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    Weaver makes nice clicker dies as well. Reasonable priced too.

    Look into Conceria Walpier veg tan. It is some of my favorite leather.

    I thin my pro dye 50/50 with denatured alcohol. I do this because of cost & as well to lighten the pro dye. I think pro dye is too dark using it straight from the bottle. I also lay my dyed projects flat on cardboard & put a fan on it for at least 24 hours.

    Are you thinning your pro dye 50/50 or using it straight up out of the bottle. Also instead of hanging your project, try laying it flat on some cardboard. Also when you dip dye it takes a good 24hr or longer to fully dry.

    Nice work. They both look great. Top notch!

    It is best to have the knife. Or a well replicated model of the knife to make a well fitted sheath.

    Yeah I got 1 of the vevor's about a year ago. It does everything i need it to do. I also had some custom dies made by weaver & i highly recommend them if ever looking for cutter dies.

    Try going over the stitches with a polished leather hammer. Or a polished bone folder.

    @Coloradoguy I recommend buying a second blade for your splitter, then you got a blade that can be sent out to be sharpened & you won't be without a splitter blade while 1 is being sharpened.
  16. DieselTech
    I think your blade is not quite sharp enough. Plus if the blade is dull & you are taking a big bite/cut you are actually stretching the belt some & resulting thinner/thicker cuts on the sides of the belt.

    Welcome to the group. Nice work. It looks great!
  18. DieselTech
    Ah! I think i finally spied it. I think if you antique it, then top coat it. It will no longer be visible.
  19. DieselTech
    Lol is this a joke? Cause I am not seeing the bad spot you mentioned. BTW that looks great! Nice work.
  20. DieselTech
    If adapters are not available. Then talk with a machinist to make you adapters for whatever brand dies you got or want.
  21. DieselTech
    That looks great. I need to make 1 similar, been thinking about buying me a Buck 112 automatic. I might do a bit of wet molding on that sheath/sleeve if I do end up with a Buck 112 auto.
  22. DieselTech
    Nice work. They look great.
  23. DieselTech
    What kind & brand of dye did you try to apply to it?
  24. DieselTech
    I would remove old ripped piece or not, then sew a piece of leather folded around the front & back, then use a oblong punch & punch a slot in it. Then I would sew around the oblong hole you punched thru it to reinforce it all.

    Lace

    See if "Y-Knot Lace" stocks it.
