TomSwede Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 What a nice looking toolbag, Taz! It looks outstanding and I can understand that the guy was so happy! What kind of braid did you lace it with and about beveling lace how's it done? Good job!

Members tazzmann Posted March 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks guys. Again, I appreciate the comments. Tom, it is a double loop switching to a single loop on the single layer and then back to a double loop. About 4 hours of lacing. Beveling the lace is just that, you bevel the underneath side so that you have a thinner edge which means that most of the center whitish area doesn't show or show as bad. Hedge, i bought the pro lace to do things around the house with and don't care about the edge look of the lace, but normally i don't use it on stuff I send out, so this one was a real boo-boo. i usually use superior or roo lace which doesn't break as much and has a much more even color throughout.

Yup, the Pro was for practice, Superior for finish work or even better, 'roo. That's practically all I use now and cut my own. Sure is sweet leather to work with. One of the best things about 'roo is that you can re-use the same piece if you aren't satisfied with the result. Quote
Members ryano Posted March 6, 2009 Members Report Posted March 6, 2009 Tazz looks great. An idea for you if you don't already know; What I do for the upper straps is use a bag punch the same size of the strap and punch 2 holes, stick the upper strap through the holes and then rivet them. No chance of them rolling over that way with age. Just an idea. Quote
