>>471964Thanks for the advice and tips. I got pic related for Christmas, and a bunch of scrap leather pieces. I'm planning on ordering some snaps and the anvil or whatever for them.
Really good idea with the fork, saves some money on pricking irons for now.
I watched some tutorials on getting the stitching to stack /angle nicely and have been practicing that. And no plans on buying prefab kits, takes the fun out of it.
I think biggest thing I learned was to not poke all my stitching holes at once, the large sheath ended up having holes not lining up as I went along, though i suppose if i glued the pieces together or had some kind of clamp that would minimize movement.
I appreciate the advice.
