CUT YOUR FREAKING FINGERNAILS BEFORE YOU START MAKING A SHEATH!! Or else it will look like you drug it through the brambles.

Voice of experience Mark?

 

[Mark Williams]

I can tear the edge of a carbon steel knife edge that is thin ground with my thumb nails.


The dog runs and hides when I cut my nails for fear of being hit

What do you think the 36grit belts are for?

 

[blgoode]

what? 36 grit on leather.......?
Kidding right?

 

[ddavelarsen]

36 grit on fingernails...

Leather tip no 2: work on a clean surface! Cripes I hate when I goober up my nice pretty leather. So I use the laundry folding table for my leather work; now I just have to convince my wife all that leather dye is dry and won't rub off on the clothes...

Lmao Mark!!
I'm thinkin about havin my finger and toe nails permanently removed. All they do is get in the way and cause pain when they get caught on something and get bent the wrong way.
Man it hurts when you peel one backwards.
