I'm located in SW Virginia about halfway in between Roanoke and Blacksburg. I mostly do knife making but I've wanted to get into sheaths and some other leather goods so this worked out. My uncle passed away a few years ago and he followed my knife making and wanted me to have some of his items to use them. Quote

Any suggestions on thickness of leather this could handle? Until it was gifted to me I was considering calling you guys about one of the cowboy sewing machines but that was going to be next year when I'm settled into the new house and shop. Quote
