Just as a matter of curiosity, why are you making a non operational flintlock from scratch ? It's the same amount of work to make a functional one. Are there legal issues where you live ? >>>> Cascabel I need the practice plus it's my first time making time a gun replica ever.

I'm looking for a trigger guard because i am making a non operational flintlock from scratch. It'd be nice to find a cheap and decent looking one. It's for a pistol flintlock.

What would be the right way to go about making a leather tankard? What leather? Would i need oils? Should i tan it? Do i need a wood insert for the handle? A sewing awl good for stitching it up?

Sounds like i shall be doing that. I have my almost finished my first bracelet. The snaps don't look right at all.

Making Bracelets first bought some snaps and some studs and going to buy a stamping tool for boreders. I'll take pictures soon. My camera died and is out of batteries. There is a dts leather store that sells tandys leather stuff. They are really cool and teach me as i go. They let me use any tools they got. I will be buying more as a i progres, im addicted already. I suck at it but i use to draw and paint alil so maybe i can get good at this. What kind of work surface should i get? I heard marble is pretty good.

So im learning how to leather work. Going to be making belts,sheaths,bracelets, and a bunch of other things. I was wondering if there are tutorials or what tools are good to be starting with. Tools i have - Rubber mallet Paint Scraper sharpened to do tracing Etching Knife Beveler Trying to go the cheap route just to start before i sell any thing.

My tattoos are on my feet. Blackfoot on my right And Roberts on the left.

Welcome to the board we hope ye stay.
