The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Having done some heavy duty sewing in the past nor related to leatherwork.
I would recommend you try a sailmakers palm, not expensive and they don't
half help on the push through.
Very good looking finish there, you have a natural eye for tidy.

Thanks Paul, that was very helpful and I can now see ebay running out of leather, prickers and waxed thread

Looking forward to seeing the reel cases.
Wal.

Absolutely splendid.

That's perfect, Paul...and a good deal nicer looking than the rare old Hardy original. I had no idea you could buy the tube on eBay, but it's the contrasting leatherwork that really sets it off.

That is a really excellent job there.

I think I'll add that to the ever expanding project list.

Thanks for adding the tutorial

Wow ! I do like that. Stylish and practical.

YOU ARE A MODEST MAN! the result is fabulous .I say it time and again the skill of the members on this forum is amazing.
My efforts are mixed but the enjoyment is well worth it.

Thank you for sharing

Thanks Bobby, the bottom cap was simply turned from a scrap of brass bar.
