Greetings,

I'm looking into buying supplies and getting started on my first projects. Bags, belt pouches, cartridge loops, survival and shooting gear, that kind of thing.

I'm on a college student budget, so I thought I'd see about hand-stitching with sinew and hunting for scraps until I can get my hands on a halfway decent sewing machine.

This article is the extent of my knowledge so far. https://www.instructables.com/Introduction-to-Leatherworking/

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Welcome. You might need one of these buttstock cuffs. No stitching.

Thanks - how are the loops kept in place?

Here is another no stitch firearm project. You could you use rivets instead of the snap but the snap lets you put it on without taking off your belt.

You can do one like this without stitching, or you can hand stitch the buttplate piece

I'll give Dwight's method a try for starters - I'll have to look into how I'd do a sling attachment point

You're going to need some of these!

I made them for my Browning B92 and Marlin 39A Original Golden.

So much leather...so little time.
