I hope it's what you're looking for.Thanks everyone. Will get some ordered.

Thanks!

Try this, maybe this will help....

Honestly Kevin, I have no idea... The foam I got from knife kits is awesome for holsters. That's what I'm using it for anyway... I don't know how to tell on the density. It's very dense stuff.... Sorry I'm not much help... If you can tell me how to check it without some fancy tool, I'll sure help you out..

I bought some foam for my press from www.knifekits.com They have it in pre cut smaller pieces, but it's an inch thick. I love the foam for the press, but it's too thick for these leggings I'm thinking. Also, thanks Cyberthrasher, I think that's what I'm looking for.

The time has come where I need to build a pair of pick-up chaps. Where do you get your high density foam padding? Thanks for any help!

Here's my latest pair of chaps. Thanks for looking.

I would like to find a couple small pieces of this leather. I need to do a couple inlays and need about a foot square or so.. 6x12 would work fine also.. The leather is more on the turquoise side than blue. Thanks for any help!

I have a customer asking for some lime green zebra print leather. I only need enough for a pair of spur straps. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before... Anyway if someone has a piece they'd sell me that would be great. hair on or smooth, I think I can work with either one.. Prefer smooth. Thanks in advance!!

I buy the Barge in the gallon. Tandys or Weavers both have it.

I know I've seen the stamp I'm thinking of.... It's two rings locked together, I call it a wedding ring.... I used to see them on Ebay all the time and never thought I'd need one... Well, now I do.. Anyone out there have one?? If you don't want to get rid of it real bad, I'd even rent one for a one time use. I will buy it if someone has one they'd like to get rid of. Thanks for any help!!

Thanks Bob!!

Here's a few pics of what I've been up to lately. My first armitas,, (finally!!) I've been wanting to do a pair. My twisted fringe shotguns.... Both are out of an awesome buffalo leather I found. The others are a pair of chinks and some shotguns I did a while back. Thanks everybody else for posting pics. They make me want to keep practicing the tooling. It is getting better all the time. But still needs work..

Very Nice!! I like your tooling, especially your border.

I make quite a few headstalls... What I do when I stitch one is put a copper rivet in right behind the buckle. Because when I use a center bar or cart style buckle I have the same issue... You can sew pretty close sideways until you try to turn the corner and go down the length. Then the back of the presser foot pushes on the buckle and messes up your stitching. When using a rivet it keeps everything tight and secure and you can space your stitching down just far enough to make everything nice and even. I have a left presser foot on my machine and that doesn't help any with the problem I run in to. Anyway, that's how I do it...

Yep, there's a lot of good help and support on here. Priceless!

Ok, now that I have some Neatlac, I'm curious which is the better overall finish for tooled leather. I don't usually dye much of anything, and I've been using Tan-Kote to seal up my basket stamp. I did discover that "well ventilated" means GO OUTSIDE with the Neatlac... HOLY COW!!! My shop is a room in the house. DO NOT Neatlac in the house... lol Anyway, thanks for any input!!

Thanks to everyone who responded. The video was a big help. It's amazing the results you can get when you do something the "right" way...

Thanks everybody, I'm cleaned out of scraps for now. I'll post again when I get overloaded again.

If you could let me know if you want it or not that would be great. I have someone else who wants this box if you don't Thanks!

The one I have boxed up will be $ 24.96 for the shipping. I'm guessing it's 25-30 lbs. My hubby took it to the post office to get the rate but I didn't have him ask the weight... If you want it, e-mail me at lisa@lwleather.com and we'll work out the Paypal or however you want to do it. Thanks.

I'll get another one boxed up and let you know. Thanks.

Here's my e-mail..... lisa@lwleather.com Give me your address with zip code and I'll get a bunch boxed up and get the shipping price for you. Thanks!!

Not sure where to post this.. I have a bunch of chap leather scraps that need to find a good home. I don't have enough room for all of them. Some of the partial sides have some pretty big pieces left in them. Most are tans, browns, but there are a few creams and reddish ones. If anyone can use some let me know. I'd like to get $ 20.00 for a box. What I'll do is box it up in one of the long leather boxes and you pay the shipping. It will be PACKED! I won't send anything that doesn't have some decent sized pieces. You won't get a bunch of junk. Thanks.

I buy most of mine from Hitching Post Supply. I don't usually need a roll, so I can get 10-15 yards at a time. So far I've been pleased with their quality. The price is reasonable, probably not the cheapest but I like their service.
