hi there Need some help with edging an inside 90* corner. example if you are making a case to hold cards or a knife sheath like in Al Stolman's book where you fold the leather over the knife and put the loop to the back. Cindy

Johnny My husband was in WWII in the European campaign as a Radio Operator(CNS) 759. What information do you need to make a patch for me to surprise him with. He happens to be at the capital in Jeff City as we speak for one of the honor flight luncheons for Missouri. the battles and campaigns were Air Off Europe Rhineland C Europe Ardennes No France Normandy. Is this anything you make? Cindy

hi there just getting around to reading this. There was an article in the Leather journal once with how to make roses but they used a douber for the wire with the cotton the center and formed the rose around it. I like this with a bead then you don't have to close up the center as much. I love the color as my mother loves purple. maybe make some for mother's day. Thanks Craftt

Jim i just noticed you are from Kansas City. I lived for 20 years in Gladstone. Cindy

i don't know how i missed this but it is wonderful. How did you attach it to the mirror. looks like something Bryan at Leather Crafters should put in their magazine. cindy

hi everyone. when i gave my member information i stated i was in Texas as a snowbird from Missouri. I also told you i was teaching a class in our Park. I had individuals at differnent times some just to make one thing and others who were with me from Jan-Mar. I have a few pictures to show off their work. As we all know Teaching usually means you are the one who learns the most. I did because i was constantly checking out the site for the right answers to their questions. Hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to critique as i have told them about the site. Craftt

Well i know everyone is waiting holding their breath to see how i solved the problem of the leather around the end where the boot comes off. So here it is. Craftt

Love it craftt

Thanks a-------lot!

no the wood look on the name place was but the rest came with the kit. I have yet to make my own designs. might be a class i take next year if i get to wickenburg. cindy

hi Just finished. Really hard to tool. the leather would not hold water and was hard to tool. It was like it had a finish on it. a kit from tandy so i don't know where the leather came from. Just glad i' finished. craftt

hey there anybody know where i can get a horse collar pattern to reduce to make picture frames? I am trying the post again. i keep getting internet explorer connection trouble. have no idea what that is. Craftt

hi Bearman; i was just cruising as they say. I have a customer that would like a portfolio case with insides and i like your idea for the inside. Just wanted to know if i could use your idea and send it to this person to see before doing the project? I love the colors you ended up with. He wants a sheriff's badge put on his or i would use your whole idea. Thanks for the work you put on the posts. Craftt

yeh i know about the mistake but i had someone tell me that would be where the evil spirits can escape. haha!

hi there top Stub checkbook cover and a PDA case just finished to put on the craft table this summer. Let me know what you think. Craft-T

thanks but the leather has to go to three differant sides so it has to stretch as well as coming together at the circle end. I have taken pig skin and tried what you said but then couldn't get the right angle for the bottom. Cindy

hello there: i am looking for information on a boot jack kit that Tandy must have put out #4435. I have a copy of page 12 from a flyer or catalouge way back with the title "Tooled Side Panels for Boot Jack Kit" by Tony Laier. I do not have the instructions for the kit just the panels. What i want to know is how to put the leather on the part that protects the boot when taking it off. If someone has an idea of the pattern i need i would appreciate it very much. i had the wood shop make some boot trees for me and i want to finish them.

thanks to all who answered. will try all the suggestions.

hi there Can someone help me with reusing perma lok needles after the lace breaks off in it. I tried the burning it out but the lace will not stay in now. thanks a head of time. Craftt

HI THERE Timing is funny or is it God? I brought out a memo book today to start making a cover for it. Maybe you have already solved that problem. Do you give out your instructions? Craftt

hi there this is my second post of the day. Sure hope i am getting this right. My name is Cindy and i have been tooling leather for almost 33 years off and on. I do it only as a hobby. I marvel at all the saddle makers and their work while i do mostly Bible covers and smal items. I started way back when girls could not take shop. I was doing my student teaching and ask the shop teacher to get a beginners kit for me while he taught the boys. The rest is history as they say. i probably have every book you could have to learn the different techniques. i am currently trying to improve my sheridan style with the dvd of Chan Geer. i have worked a few craft sales into the hobby to keep the challenges going. Now i am a winter texan as they say and have had a blast teaching a small group in our resort. Will be back to Missouri at the beginning of April where i have the real shop. See ya round the postings. craftt
