It's really not bad at all. I have only been working with leather a few months and have really picked up on it fast. You can look up #cmaggardmetalworks on Instagram to see some of the sheaths I've been making. I just watched a bunch of YouTube videos, ordered some stuff and went at it,which is also how I started making knives and blacksmithing.

Tea bags is a neat idea. I may have to make a small test batch.

0000 steel wool dissolved in white vinegar, then run through a coffee filter. Takes about a week unless you keep boiling it.

My next plan is to put a welding blanket on a round curtain rod that I can surround the grinding area.

I got to teach someone how to make a bottle opener and leather sheath yesterday. It was the first time I had ever made anything in front of someone, very rewarding experience.

Thanks guys, I wish I could take credit for the texturing, but it was already on the square stock. I put the twist, loop, and poker part on though. Lol
It is a great anvil Chris. Thanks

Got a bunch of metal staircase spindles from a house that burnt down. 1/2 inch or 5/8 I'll measure later. It's pretty tough stuff to beat on.

Wonderful points that I had never even thought of. This will be more of a show piece. Might bust it out for the occasional steak. Thanks slag.

He thinks they are simonds brand. I don't see anything specifying on their website. I might shoot them an email and see what they say.
I did find this. Nickel is added.

Used a sanding wheel on a dremel to make the grooves. Boiled linseed oil. After that dries, I will put some johnson's paste wax on it, let it set about 10 minutes and buff it off. I have terrific results with boiled linseed on red cedar as well. This is a chef knife I did with the linseed oil, I did take this one to 1000 grit I believe.

I get most of mine from Tandy. Craftsman grade double shoulder. 6-9 Oz for sheaths. I did buy some superior grade for a tote I made for my wife.
