    Plains Leggings Help

    So I sew the ties in like a welt? I guess I should have mentioned if I do a running stitch it would be with linen thread. Is a running stitch is strong enough? About 1/8"?

    Plains Leggings Help

    This is the best place I could think of. I guess my question is, how are the loops for the belt attached to the leggings?

    Plains Leggings Help

    Buckskin Sheath With Rawhide Liner

    Me too. Way out of my talent level though. Awesome knife. Amazing balance and it feels like it was made for my hand. About 8 inch blade, pewter bolster and 2 iron pins(that was very important to me for some reason, the Iron pins)

    Buckskin Sheath With Rawhide Liner

    I received a Swamp Fox Knife today(awesome btw) and it came with a great sheath, but I want to make a Mountain Man style sheath for it. I am looking for pictures of such a sheath.

    Buckskin roundball bag

    All told maybe about 2 hours. I am still new to this leather thing and had a hard time with the pattern.I learned a lot about sewing braintan with this bag, everything else I made was pretty simple. The welts were really the hardest part. But I had a lot of fun with it and if you still have some...

    Flint Striker Knife

    I have one of Darrel's striker knives and its great. And I have never injured myself with it, though I have always played with it in the comfort of my backyard, never in the freezing rain trying to start a life saving fire. THEN I might lose an eye.

    Buckskin roundball bag

    I'd like to see some more pics! Here is a ball bag I made. I have no idea if it is period correct, I stole the design from a Finnish knife maker who I bought a flint and steel set from, except he used reindeer. The pattern is a coke can, made with braintan I bought. For some reason its the most...

    A Couple of leather questions

    Glad to hear it, I love buffalo. I do want fringe, but I would have to be VERY careful with 11 sq feet. My thighs are rather large(I wish I could say it was all muscle, but who am I kidding.I do a lot of bike riding though) I dropped Micanopy a email, thanks!

    A Couple of leather questions

    What leather would be best for a soft shooting bag? I really like buffalo, would it be correct for mid to late 1820s? I see people mention 4oz vegtan, but all the 4oz vegtan I have worked with seems to stiff to make a bag out of. Also, has anyone bought the Smoked German tan from crazy crow? I...

    smoking

    Sadly pipe tobacco has taken a backseat to cigarettes for the time being. But I did smoke on a regular basis, Ashton Rainy Day(When I am around the lady) and Frog Morton on The Bayou when I don't have to worry about offending noses.
