supercub Report post Posted April 25, 2013 I recently started visiting this web site and have been really impressed with the quality of the leatherwork produced, but also with the quality of the information that has been posted. I learn something new everytime I visit the site. Anyhow, I had the need for an ammo card to carry very long cartridges (over 4") and wasn't able to find a commercial carrier that wasn't made of green plastic or nylon. I usually carry spare ammo in a day pack, so belt carry was not a priority. I decided I'd make a 20 round card and a cartridge box or two. All of the project material came from the box of scrap leather that was leftover from other projects. Lots of errors - still trying to figure out how to make gussets and French edge corners as well as mastering the sewing machine (goes too fast). Too much oil on the boxes and poor edges - any suggestions for burnishing when veg tan edges are joined to latigo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supercub Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks for the welcome. Attached are a couple more pics of scrap bin projects. Got tired of getting the head and round knives dulled in the tool chest so I made some sheaths for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
