Thanks guys
Adam - all of the hardware is from the local Tandy store - the eyelets, rivets, and boot hooks.
Duck - I probably would not use the Tek-lok myself, but it was provided for me to use for this project. Not that there is anything wrong with them, they are very versatile and adjustable. But I could accomplish something similar just using leather, and not have to shell out the $20-$25 for the clip.
Bubs and adb - I'm anxious to get back to making shavings, but it seems like there's always some other project that creeps in and takes priority. One of these days...
