    Nice work. That's awesome. I have been wanting to make a leather hat like that. I would also like to put some type of wire around the brim of it so I can form/ bend it in any shape I want. Great work.

    Thanks @bladegrinder I appreciate it. Yeah this sewing machine stuff is all new to me. Lmao, Let's say I have went thru some thread practicing different things. Lol last time I touched a sewing machine was high school, & that's been quite a few years back.

    I also believe Weaver Leather has a blade sharpening service.

    @SUP go to Ragweed Forge Store, then go to Knife making, then pick Fittings. Then you will see all sizes of ferrules, bolsters, guards for knife making. You then will need to find a Ferrule that best fits your dimensions. To make the best fit of ferrule I would pick a ferrule a smidgen undersized then you can fit it to your blade & handle.

    That is how I got/made my 1st knife handle broach. But them Black Dragon Forge knife handle broaches are nice.

    Is there any chance you can get me dimensions of the ferrules needed. What the inside measurements are & the depth of the ferrules. Im willing to do some leg work for you & will try to find a exact match. Also a couple pics would help. Thanks.

    You won't need the knife broach if you don't plan on making a new handles. I miss understood & thought you wanted to replace the handles. But if you decide to fix that Rose knife handle, the knife handle broach will be needed to get the glue out of the handle after it is repaired. @SUP

    Any good metal worker or blade Smith could use some low heat brazing rod. Then they would build it up & sand it down. A guy or gal with good talent could easily fix it like it never even happened.

    Thanks. I appreciate it. I just happen to buy a bottle of that dye the other day. I really thought at 1st it was the oxblood color dye. Great work on them.

    Thanks. If want to do the job right & make it easier on you. I recommend you buy a knife handle broach. Either thru Alec Steele or black dragon forge. Or you can make one also. Also if you want new brass ferrules for the handles I know a place to get them. You can also repair & reuse your old ones.

    If you need more coco bolo, I got a bunch, just let me know.

    Yeah TomE I got her as a pup. She is around 80lbs now. She is my buddy for sure. From the end of the buckle to the tongue hole it is 16¾" inches.

    Can somebody say SEXY!!! Nice work. They look great. What color of dye is the holster with the Ruger lcp? Thanks.

    Lol it's beautiful wood. But I found out it makes me itch like crazy.
  15. DieselTech
    Lol I would love to buy it, but that would be a fairly long drive for me. Still doable though.

    Get us some pics. I'll help walk you thru it. I'm sure other knife builders will chime in as well to the best attack plan. But pics would help a bunch. Thanks.

    Yep this should be a easy fix, as long as you don't mind shaping & playing with a Lil wood. You can purchase the knife handle rivets & the counter sink rivet drill bit thru multiple suppliers.

    Yep here is that white leather I bought. I'm not sure what it is. Veg, chrome, or alum tan. But it does wet mold good. It also had a rough back side like veg-tan leather.
  19. DieselTech
    Lol I knew nothing of leather when I bought that white leather for that pouch. I do know it wet formed good, cause I later made a phone case for another person. Turned out so good I made another 1 for a display model.
  20. DieselTech
    I have bought some straight up white leather before. Had a customer wanting a pouch made of white leather.
  21. DieselTech
    OK thanks. Yeah I was referring to the handheld dye rollers. I'm sorry for the confusion.

    SUP maybe I'm not sure I looked at the correct craftool pro edge dye machine. What does this craftool dye machine look like. I may be looking/thinking of the wrong tool when I mentioned my Owden brand tool.
  23. DieselTech
    Bill I can't answer your sticky question, but look into (Jim Linnel the art of carving leather.) Also check out Don Gonzales, Joe Mellings, Bruce Cheany, George Hurst, they all have good tutorials & training. There are a ton of other guys & gals I know I did not mention, that all have great content.
  24. DieselTech
    I don't have the craftool brand, but I did get a Owden brand dye roller. After using it once, I asked myself why I did not buy 1 of these tools 8 years ago when I started this hobby. I personally think they are great, & lots of dye can be saved using 1.

    Looks great! Awesome work.
