Thanks everyone. That border is just really nice, clean, and simple. I do like it quite a bit. I start on the case this week and should have it finished this week as well and will definitely post some photos.

Your belts and holster look great! Wish my tooling turned out that nice. I am still trying to get the swivel knife and proper casing down. Do you cut the belt ends with the squared off tip by hand or do you have a punch for that? I like that style! I have looked for a punch with that type of taper with no luck........Rory

Thanks Rory. I cut all of the belt tips like that by hand. I have never seen a punch with a long taper like that.

It is work like this that really makes me to want to try carving and stamping again. I've gotten very frustrated every time I've tried in the past. Absolutely beautiful work.

Thanks for the compliments. I can be pretty patient when it comes to stamping and carving. It just takes time to get the hang of...keep at it. Getting frustrated with it will ruin the project since at that point, you don't care anymore. I have had a few projects that frustrated me but when I hit that point, I moved on to a different order and came back to the other one when I had calmed down. I have done this several times back and forth throughout the building process in order to keep my cool. It seems to work for me.
