the big chief 3,099 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 i was messing around to day with a few bits of leather and thought i would build a catty i have glued all the bits to gether wet the leather witch will make it hard along with the wet dye and burnished the edges .unsure how this glue will hold if i am honest .it shoots fine so far the design is pretty simple just fits in ya pocket will be giving it a good bashing over the weeks and it will end up looking nothing like this by the end of it well hear it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pip1968 2,490 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 if it shoots alright then why not, i thought you had done another trade there for a second you can only try it and might be suprised how well it holds up,but i think the leather might bend with the draw back after a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BULLDOUG 199 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Theyve got a great twang bud, feel great, light in weight. I just drilled the stitch holes into Nylon with a bench drill and a tiny bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
