    Type D at the range

    Took my Mold & Gun Shop Type D to the range yesterday. Only shot it six times as we had some handguns to shoot and sight in also. But I was very happy with the results. The round balls pics were 3 shots at fifty yards. My Type D just has a front trade gun sight, no rear. I had both a steel and...

    Canvas bag I finished

    Here's an 11' by 14' canvas bag I just finished. The waxed thread did not take the dye well but that's ok with me. Mixed brown, black and a bit a red. Came out a maroon color but I like it. TinStar Soli Deo Gloria!

    leather source?

    I am wondering where some of you gents get leather for making sheaths and bags. I am not interested in a bag at this time but mostly making a sheath for the three knives I made that I posted pics of. I don't need a whole side or a big chunk. I see that Springfield Leather will sell by the square...
