Then, in an old issue of the Leather Craftsman, a saddle maker modified a pair of Vise Grip duct workers pliers to pull the cantle binding tight and create his stitch line. I did the same and have never measured since. . . . I would like to see yours please, if at all possible Would something like these welders Vice Grips work? Although the non-parallel jaws might be a problem Maybe these with the jaws ground smooth? Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Once you are pinching two layers of 8/9 oz. together, the non-parallel jaws are not an issue. All the edges are smooth and radiused. This one is cut for normal trigger guards, but one could be cut for finger groove types like Glocks. I was thinking of using a tool dip on the blades, but there never has been a staining issue. (The holster is just there for reference, the jaws would be used much earlier in the molding process) Quote
