He mentioned new videos are on the way for the Vimeo Channel. Outstanding. I have been working my way through the Vimeo channel tutorials as I progress with my Pouch Packet project and in some cases multiple times. Great to be able to pull them up on my iPad, which I take to my work area at the time so I can refresh as needed. 14 hours ago, splinters said: …………..………... picking irons ………….. I meant pricking irons. Finger check..... LOL I rented a few of the Vimeo tutorials at the start but two days later realize that they are all important and very worth while and being a subscriber is the way to go. A small expense for a great resource. Just in case anyone would like to know which pricking irons I decided on it's the Sinabroks. I purchased the 2 tooth and the 10 tooth both in 3.85 spacing. It was a tough choice as there are some good ones to chose from. The photo that follows is the first project I'm working on out of Nigel's Pouch Packet. I chose the 2oz tin pattern as a start as I think it may make a good iPhone carrier. Edited July 9, 2019 by splinters To add photo. Quote

Yeah, I have gotten a lot of stuff from Taytools. They are some quality oriented folk. Most of their accuracy items are factory seconds, but are perfectly square flat whatever. I have had no complaints in dealing with them. They also have their own line of hand planes for a fraction of what other quality planes cost. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!!

Been looking for a small square to use in cutting my leather. Can't find mine so went to Taylor Tools this morning and found a small machinist flat square that fills the ticket. Am now a Taylor customer...… LOL Thanks again for pointing them out. Quote
