Hail Altimann!
Welcome to the forum.
What kind of leatherwork are you into? Have you made much motorcycle leather? Im currently trying to make a single piece wet formed tank cover to protect my bikes paintjob.
Hi,
Did you find an Aerostitch machine? Do you know what a sensible price is for one of these if sold second hand? Ive just been looking at a video of one in use on you tube and it looks like an awesome machine. I like the Boss, but as you say, it may be akward to operate it with one hand on the lever.
Cheers
Paul
Very nice work. I like the wet forming, its so neat. I'm trying to wet form a whole tank cover for my fuel tank, but I'm concerned I may get wrinkles or folds, so will stick to some very thin leather, maybe 2-3 oz.
Great looking knives, are the blades replaceable? When you make them again I'd consider ordering one or two. Can you PM me the aprox price you are asking? Thanks.
Welcome to the forum. Im considering trying a Buell, Lightning Long. Ive always like those.
Thats a nice bit of tooling, even more-so condinering you havnt been doing it for long.
Great pictures Tom, If they tour England I'll make an effort to see them.
How come you add the alcohol, I would have thought that it would thin the colour out or make it less vibrant? Do you just apply several coats?
Tom, those are brilliant! I still cant get the same bright red dye effect with the same dyes, it always seems more dull.
Which finish did you use? The red V on the black background is great.
