Thanks
The biggest thing I like about the way I make the pouch sheath is
I have very little fitting once done because it's mostly done in the beginning with the
shaping first then dry,, so there is little impact on the leather finish and the shrinking is done so it's just the welt to size when placing it.
it always seems to fit just right..thanks guy's..

I have to go through more of the links myself there is some good pointers in there..,.
