    RIP

    I had the same problem as Spyro.

    I clicked on Bob's removal notice and was taken to the Leatherwork SubForum, where the forum address was given as:
    • Forum => NOT WOODWORK - MY OTHER LOVES => LEATHERWORK => Leather craft for woodworkers.


    Fine.

    But when I tried to re-find the SubForum via the Forum Index button (top left of almost every Forum page), I was unable to find any SubForum titled NOT WOODWORK - MY OTHER LOVES nor could I find one entitled LEATHERWORK.

    Perhaps Leatherwork discussions prefer to die in seclusion?

    Hi,
    When you open the tab at the top, click on forum home, there are a lot more sub forums there, the one you want is way down the list.
    Hops this helps.
    Regards,
    Hugh

    Enough is enough, more than enough is too much.

    I was right into leather work in the 1970's. Made quite a few belts, purses, wallets, and even pair of moccasins.

    About a decade ago I have made some utilitarian axe head covers and a draw knife cover.

    Rivets ! Heresy I know but the (Al) rivets have worked out just fine .
    The first set of covers I made using thonging but the axe blade cut through those pretty quickly - I now know how to get around this without rivets but I just needed a quick solution.

    I was going to make a few "tool rolls" but I found a good supplier who did a far better job than I and he was not too badly priced.

    These are nice
    And nothing wrong with rivets, in fact they are trending with fashion bag designers, especially copper ones.

    I had the same "problem", I was about to make a couple of leather tool holders for my shed wall, and then I found in Bunnings some Irwin ones on special for $1.50 each!
    Beautiful thick veg tan leather too, so i bought 3 and waterformed them to fit my hammers and a big pair of scissors. It worked but they're not exactly what i wanted, they never are. Plus it says "Irwin" on it which annoys me.
