My wuta pricking irons finally came today, but I was about half lit when I got home. Oh yeah great job, they look really slick. 2x72 belt grinder cork belt green polishing compound. 3 minutes ago, Bigfoote said: Yup half hour or so and you turn some pretty mediocre chisels into awesome ones! I can pull my six tooth out of 2 layers of 4 oz with one finger holding the leather down! I used to use a block of wood and the old wiggle move. I use a rubber mat that I purchased $5 it's only 1/4" thick but I split it and rubber cemented it together for a 1/2" thick chisel pad no need to wiggle wiggle any longer just buried the 10 tine in 12oz single layer and it slipped right out! I'm happy! Quote

bikermutt07 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Just a little test. They made nice looking slots. But I haven't gotten to sew anything yet. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
