I use a Barry King swivel knife and I love it! It is smooth and stays sharp for a long time. I think it costs around $45.00 with one blade, and additional blades cost $15.00. I think you would be pleased, but It is the only professional grade knife I have ever used.
I also recieved the basic set of 15 Gomph-Hackbarth tools for Christmas and love them! I have a variety of Craftools, Craft Japan, Kyoshin Elle, and some that say Taiwan or Ivan on them, but none of these compare to my new G-H tools.
I recieved the "Gomph-Hackbarth set of 15 basic stamps" for Christmas. It is my first set of professional tools and I was very excited. I would have taken a mugshot but someone seemed to think they needed my wifes digital camera more than we did.
I was given this old sewing machine by a friend, and I know nothing about this machine or any other sewing machine. Here are some pics of the machine can somebody please tell me what it is used for and if it is worth fixing up. Thank You!
I placed an order from Hidecrafters website last week, and had no problems at all. I live all the way in the northeast and my order arrived in four days. I never talked to anybody in person, just ordered from the website.
Yeah Mine was on carpet also. We live in an apartment and the dining room is carpeted. My wife scrubbed it with "Awesome" from the dollar store and got the stains out, Thank God I would hate to lose my security deposit. I could buy a lot of leather with that money. LOL
I hear ya Bryan. I also have to use the kitchen table for a work bench; My wife was tolerant until I spilt a 4oz bottle of medium brown dye on the floor.oops.
Thanks for the tutorial Tim. I am casing a practice peice of leather so that I can try it out tommorrow night after work. Thank you for your time and effort to teach greenhorns like me.
