singteck Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Thank you :D The leather use is top grain vegetable tanned leather. The strip for the ring is chrome tanned. singteck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brumbie Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Very clean design. I like it alot. One question. The small d-rings in front of each belt loop. Are they there for just in case or did you have a specific use intended for them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterD Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Thank you for looking. Some advice on how to improve it or just plain old criticism is most welcomed. singteck Looks great to me. Not a criticism or improvement but when I make one I will often put hole in the top fold over piece instead of a snap. Then run the back strap forward enough that the snap fits over the hole and snaps onto the body where the folded piece now snaps. That allows one snap to secure the whole axe.

singteck Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Thank you guys Very clean design. I like it alot. One question. The small d-rings in front of each belt loop. Are they there for just in case or did you have a specific use intended for them? The D-ring is used when you wear a baldric with trigger hooks. It prevents wear on the leather loop. Looks great to me. Not a criticism or improvement but when I make one I will often put hole in the top fold over piece instead of a snap. Then run the back strap forward enough that the snap fits over the hole and snaps onto the body where the folded piece now snaps. That allows one snap to secure the whole axe. Sounds like a great idea. Any pictures? Would love to see it. singteck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpshooter Report post Posted July 28, 2008 That is VERY nice work.... When I do edge protectors for axes, the poll is left exposed as many users tend to utilize the poll as a hammer and the edge protector can still be masking the axe when it's used in that capacity. Beyond that, it spot on the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Sharpshooter! I do have a version which does not cover the poll. What do you think? I have another one which I did long time ago. singteck Edited August 4, 2008 by singteck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
