Members Iceflags Posted June 5, 2022 Members Report Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 5, 2022 by Iceflags Quote

Members MarlinDave Posted June 6, 2022 Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 Welcome. You might need one of these buttstock cuffs. No stitching. Quote

Members MarlinDave Posted June 6, 2022 Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 Their are slots cut with a bag punch and laced through. No stitches. I used rivets at ends but not needed. See Dwight’s method below. Quote
Members MarlinDave Posted June 6, 2022 Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 6, 2022 by 327fed Quote
Members Tequila Posted June 6, 2022 Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 You can do one like this without stitching, or you can hand stitch the buttplate piece Quote
Members MarlinDave Posted June 6, 2022 Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 Nice. You can also add a sling attached in the buttplate strap if you don’t have sling swivels. Quote
Members Iceflags Posted June 6, 2022 Author Members Report Posted June 6, 2022 I'll give Dwight's method a try for starters - I'll have to look into how I'd do a sling attachment point Quote
alpha2 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Posted June 6, 2022 You're going to need some of these! I made them for my Browning B92 and Marlin 39A Original Golden. Quote So much leather...so little time.
