Ooh - that sounds nice Neil - I'm not sure if my carpentry skills will be up to that though. How thick is it?

@ Ben - Nah - I'd smash mod squirts too if I felt like it. I'm cold mate - stone cold. 

Very thin, there are probably proper techniques for doing this kind of thing (that I don't know) but I'd press it into place, then remove, varnish put it back, let dry and after the next couple of coats it would be in place below the surface.

If you weren't planning on using a varnish I'm not sure how I'd get it to stay put

I live and learn 

I'm not planning any shoes but they are a nice weight for the kind of thing I do.  I'll put them with the leather/shoe making knife I found the other week (once I get it cleaned up).

Here's the Scientist.  Needs a wash and a light sharpen and it'll be good to go.

Beautiful SAK, congratulations!

Here's the old knife I found the other week.   It was at the back of my father-in-law's shed.  Which hadn't been cleared out in decades.  Apparently his father used it when repairing shoes.

OK stop showing off you bargain hunter skills Neil

[Neil]

They're finely honed through years of looking through piles of baby clothes, old VHS tapes, used electric razors (ugh!) and those plastic cylindrical broad bean cutters that everyone seemed to own a couple of decades ago but never actually used.  Despite this weeks bounty most of the time I leave boot sales wondering why everyone hoards such amazingly large amounts of total crap

Nobody mention people in glass houses now

It's a good thing you said something.   

Remember, someone's total crap is another's treasure!

In that case I've a lot of tresure then

[Neil]

  Indeed, how many (normal) people can you imagine being happy at finding a rusty old knife?  I gave it a quick rub with a bit of paper, saw the make and thought, best clean this one up

[Neil]

True, not much coming from that part of the world any more
