Members Josh Ashman Posted December 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks Double H, Steve and Bruno! Bruno, You are correct, no lining. The spikes on the spots are just folded over then I use a domed rivet/spot setter and a mallet to give them a good solid tap over a plate of steel. This sucks the folded spikes into the leather nicely and I haven't ever had a problem with scratches. I do use a thim piece of scrap chap leather between th setter and the spot to keep from marring them up and to help my one size setter work for smaller spots. Cheers from Missouri, Josh Quote

Members Eaglestroker Posted December 29, 2014 Members Report Posted December 29, 2014 Josh, the depth you get out of your tooling just oozes through the screen. Great work as always! Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted December 29, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks Matt and Robert! I heard back today that it was a big hit on Christmas morning and that it fit perfectly! I'm always a little nervous about building cartridge belts as a surprise present so I was glad to hear it fit. Thanks again everybody and have a great New Year! Josh Quote
