thunter9 Report post Posted December 31, 2015 if I had the room I'd go buy a 4' x 2' sheet of 1/4 inch polyethylene low density should be able to get at a orthotic and prosthetic shop central fab. I'd use the pound-o board for the drive punches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24VOLTS Report post Posted December 31, 2015 I use HDPE board. Purchased from Tap Plastics here in the Sacramento area. Can purchase from any plastic shop. No drag and keeps my knifes sharp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmokeyPoint Report post Posted December 31, 2015 Make sure if you buy HDPE, you don't get the stuff with the non-skid. I made the mistake of buying a large cutting board and it was textured. It imprinted that texture on the first piece of leather I trimmed on it, since that piece was glued flesh-to-flesh. Now I use the green self-healing cutting mats. Much better. I bought two medium sized ones and taped them together with gaffers tape on one side. They now fold in half for easy, flat storage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
