Mag I have seen where a guy was redying some awful camo BDU's and gear using boiled down black walnut husk, he got a pretty decent results but like you said he had to dunk it.

 

[Magus]

I hate the new "cookie" and multi-cam crap. It looks like an Atari barfed on my clothes.
Give me tiger-stripe or woodland every time.

 

[ssonb]

That guy said close to the Same thing.

 

[Magus]

They're useless, they do nothing for NVG and scanners, another waste of money.
I'd rather wear mono-color like black or OD than that crap.

Man that's some work there and Purdy to.
Been a bit quiet lately but I have been gettin over that flu that's running round but it is rough for about three to four days. Ya don't have an interest in anything when you got this stuff, ya know sleeping, eating, coffee and even leather work.
Now the DW has it.

Hope you get to feeling mo betta

Urban camo is a pair of jeans and a t shirt helps if you look black or hispanic
You can drop me into any neighbor in any city and I can make it out untiouched
As long as I keep my mouth shut

 

[Magus]

Add a hoodie and they'll try to sell you crack and the hookers will talk to you. LOL

@ssonb

We were talking about stain and resist
Take a look at this saddle bag I am working on right now
On the front it looks like 4 different dyes were used but in reality I used a product called resolene and a antique jell
The more you use the less stain

Typically you wet a cotton ball then dab the cotton ball on a paper towel to remove what you just put on. Then apply the now almost dry cotton ball
On the leather

Nice Sheath. I'm sure can be tailored to the knife brand and model?? Could it be a smooth leather without the stamping?

 

[Magus]

I stuck a Pukko in mine. Much classier than the piece of crap I was using.

 

[Frodo]

Nice Sheath. I'm sure can be tailored to the knife brand and model?? Could it be a smooth leather without the stamping?

Yes and thanks for asking, I think a smooth side with out stamping is far more classy than stamped, BUT, Their are those that say bla bla bla

This sheath fits a 4”. - 7” folded knife

 

[Bacpacker]

I've got a new Becker fixed blade that love. But don't like the sheath. I'd like one that rides higher.

 

[Frodo]

3 1/2”
4 1/2”
5 1/2”
9”

Which one did you get?
Tell me where you want the pommel (top) in relation to the belt

 

[Magus]

I never realized they were for folders...DOH!
No matter, my Pukko is riding high and sexy.
Way more class than it deserves.LOL

They are for what ever fits, I personally think it would make a nice holster for a derringer

 

[Magus]

I like it! I traded off mine though.

 

[Frodo]

I like it! I traded off mine though.

To the crack heads?

 

[Magus]

Nah. A guy that had a commander 45 up for bids.
I wish I'd left it where I found it. It needs a LOT of polish!

 

[Frodo]

Those Commanders are really nice guns
000 steel wool

 

[Magus]

I'm thinking 1400 rpm wool buffer with grey rouge, the feed ramp needs a bit of a bevel too. it absolutely refuses to feed anything but ball ammo and not all of it.

 

[Caribou]

Sounds like the gun found the good home it deserved.

 

[Bacpacker]

3 1/2”
4 1/2”

Blade length i think is 4 1/2. Ill have to measure it. Actually 2 knives.

Piggy back? Or separate?

 

[Bacpacker]

Separate. Similar knives, but different lengths

 

[Magus]

Maybe. it will take a few hours of tinkering, but I can fix it. It shot fine when I bought it.
the only thing that changed was I oiled it. It shot these "remanufactured" JHPs fine.

I would suspect a heavy loaded handloads with heavier recoil. You'll have plenty of fun twerking it.

To end a stitch in the middle of a project

Stick needle in the hole and exit the side of the leather, do this with both threads
Then double knot the threads together cut and singe,
You are ready to start stitching again with new thread

When. You start your new thread
Put in 3 stitches then stop, go back 2 stitches, then go forward as you normally do
It is called a lock stitch. This will keep this area tight
