  6. Nice work, heck of a rig you made there....few things to point out... It needs a liner, liner makes it look, feel and last better.....also your finish on the edges needs a little more...burnish and wax, then dye in a contras color....neat cartridge loops....looks good! Second the issue with the trigger guard.... Keep it coming and you will see....the next one will be even better than this one!! ood work!! Aloha... Jimbob
  7. Go to threadexchange in NC, weaverville....near Ashville...they have a real cool website!! ( google!!) Great info on how to....what to use and when to use.... There you can find tons of colors in bonded nylon or poly....in about any size you will need...they also have small cones with 4 or 2 oz...very handy if you want to stock many colors....and yes, you put some beeswax on it and you can hand sew with this stuff too!! Hey, they even have pink....guess how I know that....my thread colection now contains way over 25 colors and I am having fun getting more...haha... aloha Jimbob

  19. Chancey I dont have an old car, but I would love to....dad promissed me his old 53 Chevy when I was here in the eight'ies....then when I came back to SW Va 2 years later he had sold it..ohhhh well...haha Still looking after any old car, every now and then twisting my neck when one goes by...not these 100K fancy hot rods...just like you said...the ones with owners in it that have grease under theire nails and gasoline in their veins.... I breath old bikes but old cars are good for any day too... So here is my little old car/truck...carved in leather and ready to go on somebodies wallet...haha Maybe one of these days....when all is said and done, all college is paid for and da wife not buying expensive shoes...LOL Then, maybe then old Jimbob finds him an old rat rod.... Greetings Jimbob shoes
  20. Thanks so much....been doing these old shool biker wallets now for a little while and people seem to like em.....I also love the red thread....just one of these things you can do when you have a leather sewing machine...haha...I love my Singer...and my Adler too, haha Thanks again!! Jimbob
  21. Well aware of this fact, Rod....I am born in Europe,,,,,I have seen my share of arabic writings....I was actually refering to the actuall backbone of the book...not sure what you call that....when you close the book and have it in a shelf...this part you see then ....it just amazed me how deep and three dimensional it is!! Great work, great craftmanship and I absolutly agree with you on the quality of the work!! Thanks for your edit.. Jimbob
  22. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that is super fein!!! Man, just thinking of riding this beauty arround the block makes my tushtush bend,,,,,LOL Love the color, sure do......I like the seat to be huge, like a wide police seat......in tan, and the design would be in tan, bronce and this aqua...thingy....and abstract...? Yeahhh I would digg that too...NO cowboy scene here...heheee.... Nice, please send pics from finished seat!!! As we know you, you will knock this seat right out of the park!! Aloha... Jimbob
  23. Use a good coating of neats foot oil, not overdoing it....then let dry....get some Fiebings Aussie wax or some simular wax finish with (beeswax ) put it in sun light as stated and you have a wonderful mellow tan color, close to a well used cared for saddle.....beautiful finish....and it is water repellent too....!! James
  24. tell us what you are planing to sew, what kind of things you gonna make in the future....that will help a lot.....I personally sell the Tippman, way to much trouble....the longarm is cool for large pieces and you can do smaller stuff too...assuming its a walking foot be my keeper!? And hey, it's a Singer....good reason to keep!! No clue what the other one is,,,> Send more pictures! Aloha Jimbob
