I then stitched the swede to the under side of the Pigskin. gromets along each side of the gauntlet and leather thread (!/4 inch).
Now I can wear this to shoots on my left arm with 5 bullets in easy reach. It was my first and came out really well. Pat myself on the back.
I used a kitchen fork to space the thread holes and right sized neddle and waxed thread. Blitzzz

Hey Blitzzz...do you have a picture of the gauntlets? Would love to see that. That has always interested me...since I used to make jewelry (and after spending time at a craft store today...think I will be at it again). Share, Mister!
