Thanks,Just something to pass the time really.gonna have a go at Forging a Strikalight today,As I've just cut the end couple of inches off an old file to put with this kit.Works well though,And the Cigar looking things are Pine resin Glue sticks.

like the idea of what they are made from, how did you find stiching it?

Well my mothers sewing machine wasn't up to it,so it is all hand stitched,and in all honestly it was alot easier than I thought it would be.Some parts had alot more give in them,So a thimble is necessary,And I'm thinking of putting para-cord in the Strap and covering it with the leather for abit of added piece of mind.
