You are really getting a handle on the leatherwork OP

 

[C Craft]

Wow, Op, your hobby has turned into something entirely different. That is top shelf work. I will give you credit you have not been afraid to try something new or different. I LIKE IT!!

 

[Rick Otts]

Great work there OP!

 

[Kevin Zito]

Looks great OP! Where do you buy the posts?

Thank you.
I get them from Tandy supply. The mid size works best for this size knife. The Bowie size need the large posts. The small size stud isn’t quite long enough to go through 6/8oz leather without some faniggaling.

Thanks. I like doing it differently. It’s giving me a new approach to working with leather.

That’s how I got those holes looking good!!
Thanks!

Paul, I have gone to putting my leather together with double stick tape, you don't have the glue to plug up the drill works much better, have been sealing the edges with medium super glue and sanding them, don't get the glue over the edge or your dye won't take. Deane

Is the retaining strap sewed on or is it one piece?

Also, leather drill? I’m intrigued...

 

[oldknife]

Kev, if you can go to my contents there is a picture and some info. on them, if you can't find it I will see if I can figure out how to shrink some more pictures. Deane

It is one piece.
Old knife will have to chime in on the drill, he is the master mind behind it.

Kev, there is a utube video on it, search sweet leather core drill. Deane
