Bag and Horn

[lead chucker]

5-6 oz leather, that should be fun to punch holes in to sew. Any thing that requires effort is worth it. A guy appreciates things he makes him self.

Not that bad actually. I have an awl I made that I use in conjunction with a mallet to pre punch the holes before sewing.

An awl is a must thats for sure. I was looking on ebay, lots of leather to be found there. Im thinking mabe the vegie tan leather might be good. i have some 8 oz vegie tan that i intend on using for a holster but i might need to drill the holes to sew its thick and pretty stiff. Leather can be quite a challenge to sew if you dont have the right tools and know how. Always something to learn how to do.

No end to the learning process
