Feel free to drop us a line if anyone has any queries on items shown or chasing an item that has not been shown / made yet. More than likely I will have templates for them already or able to knock 1 up fairly quickly.

For the muso's out there, I now also guitar straps and guitar pick key fobs. I will also be making combined guitar pick wallets as well in the near future.

Map wallets come to mind every one needs a map wallet.{Decent size]
These could have the NP logo on them. just a thought

[oncedisturbed]

Already have a basic template made up that needs some tweaking and waiting for AB's schedule to allow him some time to go through getting a stamp made up. I can get them made up, just need to work out sizing and style so I can get a quote knocked up

Alright I understand the fancy work is done via a punch if I'm right,
but how do you cut the Shape? do you have some kind of electric cutter?
either the straight blade or rotorary style blade

[oncedisturbed]

The design work (fancy stuff) can be done with different sized stylus pencils, swivel knives, modelling tools and / hand stamps.

Some leather tools are exactly the same as fine woodworking tools as both professions share multiple skill sets.

Cutting out of the leather (which my wife and son are doing for me at the moment), will depend on the thickness (ounce rating) and type of leather (saddle leather, vegetable / oil tanned etc).

Thinner leather can be done with certain types of craft, leather, shear type scissors. Thicker you go, you can involve the use of a scalpel, stanely knife or rotary cutter. I haven't seen any 'electric type' shears available so far.

Marking out the leather can be done with a leather pen which has a silvery type removable ink, scratch awl or stylus. Generally not recommended using any standard ink or felt tip pens but they are used sometimes.

when I was a sewing machine mechanic after the fabric was laid out and
the pattern pinned on top they used vertical blade and rotary blade cutters.
Sometimes the fabric can be 8" high, I'll have to "U" Tube it lol
I can only remember a guy using a curved stanely style knife and
cutting drawing the blade from underneath towards him.
Cool thanks forgot about your back doh lol

[oncedisturbed]

I haven't got any of the curled blades / knives but have been trying to find just the blades as I have a heap of handles from over the years.

Over the past few months, with the enormous help of my wife and son who both did a lot of work to assist me, this item would not have been completed.

A brown custom hunting / knife belt sporting a gold western floral buckle, two tone nickel / gold western conchos, a matching pair of bullets loops and custom, moulded horizontal carry knife sheath.
