Frank Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Hey all. I just got in an order for a checkbook cover. It seems that I am doing a great deal of small projects right now instead of saddles. They pay better anyways. I was attempting to locate a good place to buy inserts. I did a search on here and someone mentioned Hitching Post Supply. I checked their website but found nothing. I'd appreciate any help in locating some good inserts. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted July 27, 2009 If you are making basic checkbook covers you do not need an insert kit. I use a piece of vegtable tan leather to tool on, then a piece of firm pigskin for the flap to tuck the checks under and another on the top for a register/reciepts. Cut the top piece at an angle so it is easier to pull out reciepts. A small piece in the center (about 2" wide) covers the inside between the two flaps. Glue in the center piece, lace the rest togeather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that a few have mentioned it. Kevin at Springfield sells some cost effective insides that I have seen. I have used the old ones that Hidecrafter used to carry, I don't know if they change carriers? Good luck and I hope this helps.

Frank Report post Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks to all that posted. I will check on the companies provided. I'm not much on making my own inserts. Leather that thin does not do well with these arthritic fingers. I find it very hard to handle/grab a hold of and hell, I'm only 32. But I'm pretty sure I have had every finger and knuckle busted on my right hand along with my right wrist being busted twice...no questions or comments on that one...LOL. It's a long story about a quick decision!! Thanks again, I appreciate it. Edited July 27, 2009 by Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
