[TheForge] FW: Sheath leather

[Ron Childers]

Maybe Dan wants an apology for some real or imaginable perfidious wrong or immedicable woe. In the sunlight the offending leather was actually a chartreuse color similar to Dan's new boots. Perhaps I should apologize: OK Dan, I'm sorry you're a Butt head. Anyway, I cleaned that yucky leather with a damp cloth and applied a copious amount of dark brown dye which turned the machete sheath a pretty brown. Thanx for all the advice.

I made another machete out of a wood chipper blade; tried to break a piece in a vice with a hammer but it resisted the hammer blows. It must be some kind of super steel.


Explain please.
