DIY Strops! Finally!
So, I remember this used to be a fairly common topic.. DIY Strop kits... People who wanted to use their own leather component, but needed endcaps, D rings, handles, hanging assemblies... Any of that stuff... Well I'm going to be getting a leather blank from a friend soon, and fabric from another location, but need to find the right top-hanging (the clasp) assembly... I went over to Tony Miller's webpage to send him an email, begging for the location of where he buys his strop hardware from since he's now not doing strops as a business...
Lo and behold, he now sells handles, end caps, and d-rings as DIY kits!

Hope this helps someone out... Sorry if this would be better in a different thread genre.
Cheers,

Is TM just unloading his stock or will this be his new business?

He says a little about what's going on with the strop business on his website. Just scroll down to the section about the hardware available and strops. Originally Posted by thebigspendur

I believe that he now makes strops whenever he feels the urge (Not too often) so he's selling off the excess, and keeping a bare minimum, if that.

Thanked: 55 I Hope thing work out for him and his.
While I'm very upset that I'll never be able to own one of his strops, works of art I think, I"m very happy he's doing what he needs to do to get his life working smoothly. All the best.

I have to say, i think i am the person that bought his last strop and feel very fortunate indeed to have it. I am doing everything in my power to preserve his work of art.
