Interests:Anything I can learn from this website; I think it is great! Otherwise I have many interests, and have made different things over the years, although I consider myself a novice. I am interested in Holsters, knife sheaths, Tomahawk Sheaths, Bag tags, belts, etc. I'd like to learn how to carve and tool well, but basically I just stamp and make my own patterns for the things I make (usually from scratch or a picture I've come accross).

I just took possession (won on Ebay) of an old Disston USA overstitch tool. Does anyone know anything about this tool? I've googled it and from what I can tell they mainly made Saw's.

It is nice and I got it for a very decent amount. It has three stitching wheels total, and the extra's are kept inside the handle (screws off - wood threads) and has size 7, 8, and 10 wheels.

If anyone can tell me the history of this tool - it would be greatly appreciated.
