I figured I better start a new thread as we was filling up the gail with strike plates.Here's a couple pics of a real easy to make home made strike plate cutter...bd        

Nice doc.Was that an old knife blade?

doc, PM sent

Hey Don, how do you get those creases in the leather?

Can you list a few sizes of strike plates from the 59-66 Kodiaks? Also, could you tell us how many creases were there in the strike plates of each year's model (if they varied)?

Lon I made a roller with 6 washers spaced 1/4" apart that I just roll over the leather.Its best if you wet the leather first with a little water or leather dye.I just cut all 6 line strike plates with my cutter and then trim those down for the year I need.bd
