Chisel roll/pouch

[Mrstsb]

I'm new to sewing leather and would like to make a chisel roll for my woodworking chisels. What leather or suede is best for this sort of item?

I would look for a 3-4oz oil tan. Can get them cheap and how stiff or soft you want it. Are you hand sewing it or machine?

[Mrstsb]

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking at using a machine

I'm making one right now for my woodworking chisels with 4oz oil tan it's my intention to have the leather go over each handle rather than just stitching it flat like a cloth roll this makes the problem of closing the bottom of each chisel space so at the bottom of each space i will leave a small tab of leather in the center kind of like a jock strap sorry but this explains it best that small tab is part of the face it will go back and be stitched down it's a bit more work but i think it will work best the reason for doing this leather is not like cloth I think things will just fit better this way.

Sorry not one roll, three rolls.
