    Maybe I should get a Deere yellow and a Deere green. My 37 Pontiac coupe was a John Deere salesman's car. I was painted Green with yellow wheels & trim with a John Deere painted emblem/sign on each door. It is all faded out after some 50 years. To say it was "Fugly" was an understatement. The salesman was no hot rodder however, and the car is stock, rust free and un butchered.

    Been working on some stuff did another gun holster I'll put that up later.
    Right now working on 2 sheaths for 2 gut knifes I got for my daughters at Christmas. The knives are identical so I'm making 2 sheaths and got one to the water mold step so far.

    My stitching is getting a little better.

    Nice, I have to wait until spring B4 I get to my leather. I brought the Dillon in already.

    My canvas buddy says some guys drill the holes for the stitching on a drill press,.

    I see that some of them are doing that. If I had a drill press I would try it. Using diamond hole chisels on this project for the holes.

    Used my new stitch groover on this one.

    This is the sheath that came with those knives.

    It sucked!

    After it dried I checked the retention and pretty good so far. I hate the snap strap retention set ups. Nothing worse than fighting a snap strap in the way of re-holstering a bloody gut knife. This way no strap put it back in one handed push down and on your way.
