    Max, how do you manage to put snaps through three layers of leather (the back of the snaps?). Do you skive it all to hell or what? Haha. That's what I've always had to do... PMZ

    Thank you, I ended up not using that bridle leather for anything but straps and simple wetformed stuff. It just wouldn't take a stamp! PMZ Well, tonight I am going to try tooling a piece of leather I cased today. It will only have been perhaps 8 or 10 hours since I wetted it? I ran it under a warm faucet till it was limp, and hung it up on a laundry hook. (I've already assembled it, just wanted to do some tooling). Is 8 or 10 hours enough time for it to dry? Thanks much for your help! PMZ

    Thanks guys, I just took the plunge and did it. It didn't run, but a lot of the dye rinsed off apparently. Either way I'm probably gonna beeswax it so I won't matter. Cheers:) PMZ

    I just made an item out of heavy vegtan leather and like a dummy I went and dyed it before I wetformed it. I've never done it like that before, assuming that the inks/dyes would run if I wetformed it after dyeing. Will it work out OK? PMZ

    Can you re-case leather that has been dyed with pigment dye?

    Hi there,

    I was asking around about how to size a pattern for my arm for an archery bracer, and NoahL directed me to you.

    I saw one of your posts on those very handsome bracers you make, and wondered how you go about measuring and cutting out the pattern to make a standard archery bracer.

    Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

    Cheers:)

    Hey bro,

    Can you give me the lowdown on making archery bracers?

    I have found some patterns, but with no measurements or indications of how to adjust for individuals' arm size:o

    Thanks!

    Question: I have a bit of english tanned saddle leather. It's finished with something shiny or waxy on both sides and it's rather hard compared to standard oak/vegtanned leather that I use for tooling. I've tried to case this stuff for tooling, but I don't really know much about casing leather. It didn't work well, but I may not have done it right. How can I make this stuff toolable/stampable? Thanks! PMZ

    I have a set similar to that...came in a wooden box with a lid stamped with the owner's name, and the year 1945. I can only imagine he bought himself (or made himself) that set after he got out of the service. Got mine for very little, and am happy to have it. As the others say, it is hard to line up the letters...more for initials, numbers etc. PMZ

    Damn Noah, I can't get enough of that Apocalypse finish. Wicked cool! PMZ

    I like my Svord Peasant for cutting leather, it's great for that purpose. Very thin, sharp and ergonomic. Easily touched up as well. Katsass, I too have a Murphy knife a guy on another forum sent me. It's a beauty! I need to sharpen it up and keep it in a tin can or something. PMZ

    Sheath for my Thai e-nep knife: I'm using a paracord belt as a baldric of sorts. Any suggestions on how to make a *real* baldric? Thanks, PMZ
