Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 26, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted February 26, 2018 Oh.. I guess it would be a "B". Tough to find an "A" in shoulders.. guess they figure if you want the real nice stuff you'd order backs, or bends. This is from a place I've never ordered before - thought I'd check it out. Haven't carved it yet, but "feels" okay (though wit the usual 'fat marks' normal to shoulders). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

I do a fair amount of splitting with my cheap-a$$ed Tandy splitter, but every time, I have to take some scrap and figure out, again, how to set up the thickness. Does anybody make a "thickness gauge" the you can insert in the splitter to set the thickness? Jeff (The OTHER Jeff) You got me wondering now..... Maybe we should just use feeler gauges? 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.

Members cradom Posted February 26, 2018 Members Report Posted February 26, 2018 Springfield sells a double with one straight edge for about $50. It's not the best leather in the world but it's great for belts. I'd put it at about a C grade. Quote
