Members Stewart Posted August 14, 2012 Members Report Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) This is in the finishing stage. Shaping riveting-darkening with neatsfoot and sealing. There is a metal belt clip on back. First time doing that and it is rough on the lacing part. I did not know that the clip would make a flex problem,so next time wider. The clip came off a cheap pipe pouch same size. the leather was thinner. Oh, put glue on wrong side of back part. Just on edges. I was not taught that . Learned to do that on my own.
