So, Out driving and doing some errands today. Was at a stoplight and right there was a sign for "Tandy Leather". Well, I haven't been in one of those stores since I was probably 14 years old... A Quick right turn and there I was.
All of the old smells were their and the kits and stuff!
Anywho, to make this wood working related, the reason I stopped in is that I 'Know' that a while ago I had put down 'leather' on a list of things to buy, but for the life of me I can't remember what project I would have needed leather for.
So I bought a couple of neat kits, a leatherman/flashlight holster and a new dog collar for Bucky. I also got a good sized chunk of leather to use for misc projects.
So far I'm thinking:
1) Padded jaws for my vices
2) Holster for a my chip carving knives.
3) A nice new big strop for my plane blades.
But thats about where I run out of ideas...
Anybody else have any ideas for leather use in the shop?
