Hi everyone,
Im new to the forum and i hope this is a good place to post this. If not please move it to the right place.
I use to make zippo lighter cases out of leather but I never had to buy the leather since someone gave me a bunch of leather. That was years ago and i have lost the leather so I am needing to purchase some.
What leather would be best to make the lighter cases out of. The leather I use to have was around 7-8 oz and it seemed to be the right thickness but im not sure if i should use sides, sholders or bellies so I thought I would as you guys here.
Also, I live in Northern Kentucky and have been looking for a leather place around here and in Ohio but so far could not find any place.
I went to tandy but their prices seems way to high so if anyone knows of a place I can drive to that is with in 150 miles of Northern Kentucky then please let me know.
Thanks, Ken
