Members ramrod Posted June 6, 2011 Members Report Posted June 6, 2011 ........................ next time I think I'll go to the drawing board to make the top easier to open. Maybe chap leather around the top and thicker, tooling leather to strengthen a base. RW thank you for the thread. i've been wanting to make this one, but just haven't gotten around to it. but now i know what to do to make it better. are you thinking 4-5 oz chap and maybe 7-8 oz tooling leather would make this one right?

Members wood Posted June 8, 2011 Author Members Report Posted June 8, 2011 Ramrod, This one was 8-9oz with 4oz gusset. I think next time I may go with a little thinner gullet but I would probably stick with the 8-9oz outside. May go a little deeper with the zipper so it can lay open a little more, but not too much because I wouldn't want everything falling out. Good luck with yours, RW Quote "A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice." - Bill Cosby
