    Para cord has been a savior for hanging a strop or tensioning it.
    Bump the pin out of the middle hinge on the shave cave door about a half inch and the paracord loops over that and then the strop is about waist height.

    Did you burnish the leather with an old Pinaud bottle.
    Oh come on this is John you are speaking to, it would obviously be an old Avon aftershave bottle

    Here are the last 2 pieces left that Richard gave me. One of them is just a straight cotton webbing & the other is an old fire hose. I went with a darker stain.
    thanks for looking.

    Nice work, I like the dark leather.

    Strop making is addictive…

    Ahhh Tandy. You get in there and it is full of the smell of leather. I go in once in awhile just for that. I miss my old tack room :<0(

    If you get started now you can make a pile of slippers for Christmas gifts.

    Your doing great. The better the tools the easier it is and the guys in Tandy will help you a lot in the beginning.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
