AtlLaw Report post Posted April 10, 2012 I plan to make a revolver cartridge box based on the issue item from the Civil War ( I hate that term!). Anyway, while I will probably mould the front of the case into shape and make the item from 2 pieces of leather (front and back), I the originals were made of 3 pieces; front, back and side. My question is, How was the side piece stitched to the front and back? It looks like the two pieces were butted up and the stitch went through each piece at a 45 degree angle. Is this correct?

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, that looks like it was a mitered corner. So, just like you would with a piece of wood, miter your edges with a knife to a 45 deg angle and then stitch through it. here's an excerpt from one of the Stohlman books that shows it. http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41233&p=536207#post536207 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 10, 2012 No problem. I'm just glad I read that part of the Stohlman case making books, otherwise I would have absolutely no idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
