Members Colt W Knight Posted December 20, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I need to make one of these - did you use anything between the leather to stiffen it up? I was thinking about thin plastic or something..No, I don't add a stiffener. I've made a lot of these, and if I use an 8oz vegtan and a lambskin lining they are plenty stiff enough. They are tad floppy at 4/5, but not enough to require a stiffner imho. I made the first one for myself because I got tired of my clip board blowing away working cattle. Made it from 8 oz. When I am collecting data in the field, I sit on it, it gets wet, bird poop from the outdoor tables and even cow manure flung on it. It's still just as stiff as the day I made it.I have learned to round the corners on the edges, square edges get mashed and mushroom out and it makes it harder to put in a brief case or back pack.
