If anyone is interested here's a link to the original post. Looking back it seemed a bit simplistic but I was using it on field grade shooter, old Ithaca's and the like. As noted above, when it came time to put a pad on my high grade Francotte sidelock I left it to SKB... Leather covered pad .
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

This is the pad and system I use for plug-less leather covering.

Did you make the mounting brackets or is that some thing purchased?

New England Custom Gun. Buy the mounting hardware and you can select several different thickness of pad. The pads are very nice. The system works very well.

Thanks for the video. He uses really thin leather.

that is a great video for certain, but somewhat depressing. Do all of you that do this have a leather skiving tool? I'd hate to have to buy one of those for one pad.

I thought it was an interesting video and the video on youtube by Midway on the same subject also was interesting. Between the two I'm going to try doing this without skiving any leather and also combine techniques on some low end guns I have ...gluey fingers and ruined leather would be part of the learning curve. What I got most out these videos was the two different methods and fixtures they made to score the leather lines on the pads. One burning the leather score and the other a pressure score. I wonder which is more commen or is it a horse a piece.
