It's okay... we'll let you make us each a strop as penance.

Thank you for your kind words. A Strop is all you want? Let me get back to you on that.
I have had several guys ask me about what it takes to make one. I am thinking about posting he tool and material list on the forum. I had no idea it would go over this good.Last edited by hidestoart; 07-18-2013 at 08:18 PM.

Just thought I'd finally include a couple of additional pics as my corner has gotten a little more mine.

It's an old 6 pipe wall rack that I drilled out and repainted. The ad on the wall was a perfect match for an old Gillette Criterion I found in mint condition for $15 still in it's case with matching blade holder represented in the ad. You can see it on the top shelf, right hand side of the rack. You can also see I have a few razors I'm working on now.

I had to look at your previous picture twice and hen enlarged. For a moment there I thought you might have owned one of my strops!

Hello Mick,
Thanks for looking. I can say that I made my strops. all of those you see are my seconds or where I am playing with a design. I don't want to send them out or throw them away so, I keep them. I do custom leather work for the cowboy action shooting crowd. I mostly use my drops from 3" holster belts or mule rigging. I have a side of English bridle that a customer ordered that they never picked up that I do alot of my strops out of.MickR likes this.A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check, made payable to the United States of America, "for an amount up to and including my life".

Isn't it funny that when you make the things, you only seem to have the lesser ones for yourself. I have three of my own and not a one of them is what I would have considered sale worthy. I have the first one I ever made and two others made from what I considered to be too short a strap of leather for selling. One live permanently out at my shack on the farm, one for daily use and the other is a narrow travel strop kept at home for the 'just in cases's' in life.

Mick, That is the exact boat that I am in. "The cobblers kids had no shoes" & The leather worker has only seconds at his house.
