looks great! will follow this with interest. Ste

I have used Specialforces.com several times with no problems. they are an american store so can get hit for tax and shipping, but once or twice a year they do a free delivery month or couple of days, and it's not just within CONUS. :) Ste

That's a lovely striker! i just use old hacksaw blades or the back of my knife. my current one is apple wood and reindeer antler on a scout sized steel. have a broken hacksaw blade with a tine handle for striking, but it bends more than anything else, as i ground the tang to thin when mounting...

Here it is: (please keep in mind this was 2 years ago when i was first staring leatherwork, hence the various mistakes) Hope this helps, Ste

out of curiousity what fossil is it? I'm the exact opposite, I find geometric paters and stiching to be theraputic due to it's repetitiveness, Different strokes for different folks I suppose;) I did a skull design ages ago for a freind that was white cova colour with a black wash of dye over...

This delivery arrived this morning, and coupled with the refreshing beverages in the back make for a very enjoyable wekeed:cool: Just thought i'd share my happiness! Atb Stephen

Interesting. This has been on my to-do list for a while now. I've always been a fan of chess and heard of this game a few 2 or 3 years ago. May have to jump in and make one up. Hey Wayland, any chance you could spell those out phonetically please? Also anyone have any links to the...

To answer your question though, apparently you just use a standart metal frill bit and go very slowly. there will be some sparks. only what I've read, I lean towards Handles myself. I'm pretty sure there is a post on here somewhere from the past 2 years where someone did this and gave there...
