Saddle Scabbard And Full Flap Holster
OdinUK replied to Josh Ashman's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Fantastic work, the tooling/stamping is very crisp. -
Dave, I never regarded myself as an artist either, I'm still not sure, but the leatherwork has definitely brought out my artistic/creative side. I agree about what you say about the cheap tat thats sold everywhere. Friends think I'm being pedantic when I point put a mass market belt has been sewn incorrectly and the edges arn't burnished or even beveled and buffed.

I usually scan the design and print it on a laser printer on OHP film. You can press pretty hard if necessary and use the film several time before it breaks through. Since its made from acetate or similar, its fine on cased leather. I use it for pretty much all my work.

Interesting thread! I'm a microwave/RF (radio frequency) design engineer, designing antennas, components like filters, couplers and polarizers. It has nothing to do with microwave ovens! Antennas are for civil and defense applications. I work from a few hundred MHz to hundreds of GHz. I even have a couple of my antennas in orbit around the earth on satellites.

I've used Dixons to sharpen some tools for £10 per tool (exc VAT) If the prongs arnt bent you should be able to rub the ends down to make them even on some wet and dry on a flat surface. I reconditioned many of my pricking irons by bead blasting, rubbing the ends flat on wet and dry and then painting the handles in Hammerite paint.

Wow, that bag is absolutely stunning! I hope the other kids aren't too envious! -
Stunning work as usual! Can you advise on what lifter tools you use to raise the inside curves of the leaves?

That's even more impressive. I might try it myself. Ive done some wet moldings on faces I cast in Herculite II, a kind of hard setting plaster. -

Fantastic mask, I love it! Did you make a hard cast of your face to use as a mold? -
I love the shape! Is that your own design? -
Thanks for sharing that. I haven't used resolene very much. I'll try airbrushing it next time. Many thanks.

Wow, amazing work. How do you apply the Resoline, with a sponge or airbrush? Does it not crack? It looks so smooth. The gold an black looks great!

6In Short Biker Wallet
OdinUK replied to LeatherLegion's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I like the colours. It looks well made too. How come you opted for laser engraving the skill and not air brushing through a setnsil? Did it go black as a result of the laser engraving? Was it expensive? -
