  1. I loved the workmanship on your bags...

  2. I love the workmanship...this is inspiring work...
  3. I was just in a tattoo store looking at some of his designs...nothing like the classics....good work btw.
  4. I just picked up a rubber mallet (2 pounder) for about 2 dollars and change at the discount tool place. If you don't mind the off brands, sometimes they are just as good...as long as it isn't tooling.
  5. Changing over my little work space from tooling to staining/stitching. Then, trying to find the stitching stuff buried somewhere under a piece of pattern. I'd like to be able to say everything has its place and I had enough room to do everything in progression without having to change the work area.
  6. Just saw the comment you left in my profile about your interest in game boards. Feel free to PM me any time.

  7. Here are a few pictures of a workbench I commandeered when we moved into our home about 8 years ago...we have a concrete basement- unfinished...and I set up shop next to the sump pump....the furnace was too dangerous for my Fiebings...I don't have a lot of tools....but I have learned to stick to the basics....
  8. I just finished the tooling, staining, and I still have to finish the stitching on a set of three checkbook covers....I think I used too thick a leather...the leather doesn't want to fold right....
  9. I know I am late getting into this conversation, but I am a little more into "Branding," which is what makes a company unique. I think the mirror image of the L is a great idea...and it just happens to work well as a sword hilt as well. You want something that the customer is going to "remember" you by.....think the restaurant with the big golden arches.....and you have a winner.
  10. Thank-you for the detailed explanation...I still have a little trouble with the "dryness" factor. When I was first taught- I was told to use my fingernail to determine the correct "wetness" or carvability. I tried to soak it- but it just left the leather hard when it dried...and it wasn't very easy to carve. Do you use the casing solution from Tandy or just water?
  11. Hi. I am new to the forum, but I am not new to leatherwork. I'm interested in meeting other people in leatherwork, maybe learning some from the old-timers and trying to help some of the newbees. I'm in Columbus, Ohio.
  12. I'd love to chat sometime with you about your game boards...

  13. I am in Columbus if you are ever wanting a chat about Leather.
