All Activity

I go "Activity" "All Activity" both phone and laptop. For me it shows read and unread.

I don't have all the forums and subforums set to show on the sidebar. If you click your name and go to your profile, you should be able to see all your posts.

An AndyTube video got me started measuring bobbin tension on domestics. One less variable. Most people don't bother.

One thing I notice on my phone is that after I click on a post in the New Posts section and I go back to the New Post menu the link is gone. This doesn't happen on the website.

An aquaintance has a tanto style knife that has a paracord wrapped handle that he would like to be replaced with leather. The knife is flat -ish the entire length with the crossguard and heel (back portion) being wider preventing the use of stacked leather washers. The knife is used often so the leather would need to be durable, not just decorative. I ‘ve never done anything like this and would not know where to start. Any ideas?

I scrolled back through your posts to last February and don't see anything hidden from view. I'm pretty sure if there was a problem requiring your posts to be removed, somebody would give you a heads up. BossLady runs a pretty amiable establishment here. Not to say a software kerfuffle couldn't cause a problem, but not likely.

I'm curious do you find it useful to measure the top thread tension as well?

What a great way to earn money right now!

Mike and Gretchen Graham, the owners of Ruxtons Trading Post in Manitou Springs CO, know western saddles. They used to write a column on appraising saddles for the Western Horseman magazine. Could ask them about your saddle. https://ruxtons.com/

Thank you Tom. I played around with the excess piece that I cut off. I felt that it tools well enough, but just a bit more difficult than regular HO veg. I did eventually find a bunch of indoor from 10-15 years ago using Google which sent me back here. So I was able to find the information I was looking for. But I couldn't find this post that I made to make an update haha. I'll see how this goes, and if it's up to my standards I'll most likely post pics in show off. Thanks again

Ok. I was checking through my account on activity and couldn't find anything. So I just assumed they disappeared. I'll have to remember to check the form categories I post in more thoroughly. Thanks

Figures…as I try to make a video I can’t replicate the issue. Maybe I’m crazy and I just don’t know what straight is😅 I’ll do a few more tests and if it happens again, I will update. Thank you all for your responses!!!

Sometimes I have noticed my own topics that I start do not show up in the side bar topic list right away even though they are in the forum and visible in that side bar for other viewers. I think I have noticed it more on my phone and iPad than on the computer but haven't really checked it further.

Looking forward to the video 🤩

Check e-bay. Years ago a forum member found one there. That's the only idea that I have.

I work in millimetres. Its easier to divide by two. No fractions of inches to divide

A good holster and a good gun too.

This hasn't disappeared; its here, Perhaps you asked in the wrong section and its been moved

Post on the front page move down the list as new ones appear but are still in the sub Forum they were created in like a question related to a sewing machine would have been created in the Leather Sewing Machines sub forum but would also appear on the right side of the front forum page. As new topics appear it would move down the list and off the front page but be still listed in the Leather Sewing Machines sub forum. If someone posts a answer to your topic it would reappear on the front page of the forum and then move down the list once again. Your post: Questions on tooling English Bridle is still available in the "How do I do that?" sub forum on page 2 with one response from @TomE. kgg

That's exactly how I felt, and I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings. I apologize to all who are offended.

Most times it is not a problem but have a seniors moment, be distracted, tired or whatever and Murphy's Law is always at the ready to kick in. You screw up and you want to kick yourself in the butt as you just screwed up the work piece. Someone else my not notice but you will. @toxo I agree. Having a simple centre point ruler of any configuration is easier and correct everytime. Also the fractional measurements in the imperial system are not as easily divided in half as compared to the metric system. I did have a digital mic that read in both metric and imperial which is typical but this particular mic automatically showed half of the actual measurement. kgg

I'm trying to figure out why my posts keep disappearing. I've asked a couple questions in the past week. First was trying to find out what style of carving was on a belt (I've resolved that on my own) and how to work with bridle leather. Specifically HO English bridle. Both posts disappeared within the day posted. Did I violate any rules here? I really doubt I did. It's been a little while since posting anything in Leatherworker.net only because I've been busy. And it's only a could months or so. I like this site, but if this continues to happen then I have zero reason to be here. I just want to know why?

I found a saddle that is, from Legacy Saddlery. It only has black marker four a number on the underside of the pommel/ horn. It is stamped legacy, salary behind the horn, and it also has n "L" stamped on the outside of the stir up leather above the stirrup. An extensive search on the internet, nothing. I'm trying to figure out the maker of this saddle.It's very well made. Its very wide flat bars.

I think that the slots shown in your photo may have an extra column. More generally: each diagonal needs to have an even number of slots. Strip starts from below surface and finishes below surface. If not a diagonal weave each row or column needs to have an even number of slots. I am learning how to do this for purses where I am adding the weave to a panel.

@Samalan made it a math lesson, but I have a center finder.
