    Snake Skins

    There was a member here that home tanned snake skins I think he was in Arizona maybe a retired veteran ring any bells?
  4. Excuse my ignorance I don't know the history of durkopp but are the not made in Minerva
  5. I have seen skins on both but there was a gentleman that tanned the skins himself and was a way of financially supporting himself he may a retire vetran
  6. Can somebody tell me what member on this forum sells snake skins, if my memory is correct he was a retired fellow from Arizona please help
  7. If you wait for the Tandy sale on the 20 and 24 sets they were about 50 or so dollars a set, worth their weight in gold I have the same press got it from weavers
  8. Heres my 1.5 cents I have 4 different types of "english" bridle 1 being from Sedgwick in England and yup thats the best one on my opinion for a 10oz piece of leather or in and around there WandC and herman tie a distant second but please dont anyone get excited this is just my opinion lol!!!Most times price is a BIGGG factor when I buy a hide thats all folks!!
  9. Just my opinion,, if you let glue dry well most things, or in my case nothing moves!!!I like using double sided tape too but items gets "shifty" glue takes longer and is messier but works better if dried the needle doesnt stick and bring up the material just my 2 cents, hold on we got rid of our pennies up here lol!
