I would be interested as well. kenwallace22@hotmail.com Thanks for the help.

Yes, you should be able to build the harness with just the measurments provided, but I wouldn't narrow it down to just two measurements. The more the merrier. To be safe, I would probably sketch out a diagram of the harness and label the measurements, "A", "B", etc. and ask the customer to provide these measurements. I've built harnesses for customers this way. Mine is a little different because the gun sits at the middle of the torso. I asked the customer to provide measurements from the center of the chest over one sholder to the middle of the back and then the dimension around his torso. Like I said ours are different, but I believe you can do this with the dimensions provided plus the adjustability that you are building into the piece. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone, I'm making my first soft leather purse. My issue is with the exposed edge at the opening of the purse. I obviousley don't want to leave it plain. That would be... plain . I've thought of framing the edges out with a thicker piece of leather as a border or maybe even doing a little bit of decorative stitching. Anyways, thats what I've come up with, I am hoping someone here could shed some light on a few more options. Thank you.

Thank's, I really appreciate your help. Question: The "Hi-Lite" dye that I am using is like an "Antique Gel" in that once it sits for a little bit you need to wipe off the excess, will this change any of the advice you are giving above?

I am trying to dye a large piece of leather, about 18"X18". I have never done this, but my concern is that the color will not be uniform across the entire piece. I have heard some suggestions about getting the leather damp, using brushes instead of wool, etc. The dye I am using is water based, "Saddle Tan" High-Lite. Any suggestions on procedure or tools would be appreciated.

That's perfect. It gives me enough info to start working on my own. I appreciate your help.

I've seen a pattern of scroll work and skulls (instead of flowers). Does anyone have that pattern or know where I can get it?
