If there are any saddle makers in your area they are great sources for smaller pieces of leather that would work for most knife sheaths. One by me sell a tote for 20$ and there is more than enough for 6 or 8 medium size knife sheaths.
I am fortunate to have known two world class knife makers (both deceased). Neither ever hesitated to answer any questions about their craft. Why? Because they didn't feel threatened by a fledgling knife maker, maybe, but I wasn't the only one seeking and receiving their advise. I think it was...
I have decided to build as per plans. I know the benefits of the 2x72 and I don't want to waste time with a trial and error method of doing the modification.
So guess I better get some belts on the way.
Thank you guys for helping me make the jump:)
My original thought was because the 60" belt is roughly 17% smaller that I could reduce platen size and lower tracking wheel height by that amount. I'm not sure it could be that simple.
Hello folks,
I have more than a few 2x60 belts and would like to mod the NWGS 2X72 plans (which I have purchased) to run these belts.
Any thoughts? Two grinders are not an option.
Thanks
