When you have the second needle halfway thru, pull the first thread back a little. If you've stuck the thread it will show up and it can be corrected easily.

I agree with Scary on this. I find royalwoods 7 cord to be a good choice for belts/ holsters/sheaths etc. Tandys 6 cord, for me, seems to look like a bulkier thread.

Check out Royalwood Ltd for Irish waxed lined thread. They carry a wide range of colors in 2 ply to 12 ply. http://www.royalwoodltd.com/cat14-17ar.htm

What you are looking for is called a "frustum" of a cone. You might have to read through these links once or twice before it makes sense. I know I had to and yes, my head exploded a few times the first time I tried it. Here are a few frustrum pattern development links : http://www.tintinker...one_pattern.pdf http://schools.spsd....ent%20Notes.pdf http://www.snipsmag....000f932a8c0____ Here's a link to a free download of a book for pattern development: http://www.craftsman...ttern-book.html OR....You could just get some brown wrapping paper and start cutting until you get it right. Either way works :-) Hope this helps... Tom

Hated FF4, went back to 3.6

OK, so I lied....well maybe it was just a case of old timers disease and I got my infantry divisions mixed up. This was the symbol of the 45th ID until about 1935 when the symbol became so associated with the N.S.D.A.P. The 45th then adopted the thunderbird design and continues to use it today as a Nation Guard Infantry Brigade.

A variation of this was used by the 3rd Infantry Division up until WWII when they switched to the diagonal blue and white stripes. The 3rd ID's badge had the "legs" facing in the opposite direction. Also used by a number of American Indian tribes as a good luck symbol.

You might try doing a search at www.addall.com I've had excellent luck finding out of print books thru this search engine Good Luck, Tom

Very nice work.

Whew.... Thought I was messing up at my end. Thanks to everyone for the help

Hi, Is there a limit of one edit per post? I have a post in the for sale section that I'd like to change but I don't have an "edit" button available. This would be my second edit to this post. Thanks, Tom

Still available, $180 plus shipping. Shipping will be around $60 Min because of the size of the box. FTF if you are anywhere around me (NE OHIO) is possible. I need to get rid of this! Trades ideas let me know. I could use a roller creaser if you have an extra. Tom

I still have that Randall for sale but it's going to cost a bit to ship. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=25951

I have a spare stitching horse that's just gathering dust, figure someone might be able to put it to good use. This is a Randall made early 1900's I think. I used it up to around 5 years ago when I got a Doering metal jaw horse. The seat has a few age cracks and a couple of gouges but is solid, as are the legs. When I put the head back on, I couldn't find the spring that holds the jaws apart so it's missing that. It also has a new strap. The pics should show everything but if you have any questions please ask. I'll do my best to get you whatever you need. I'm kinda new here but I've been around most of the gun related forums for years and have never had an issue. I'd like to get $200 but I'd entertain offers. Shipping would be added but if you're close to the NE Ohio area we could do a FTF. Link to the rest of the pics.. http://smg.photobuck...ANDALL%20HORSE/ Thanks, Tom

here's a picture of the hooks I have....

I sent a reply to your last PM. Did you not get it? I have both brass and steel hooks along with the 1-1/4" ring necessary if you're making a M1907 style sling.

Sorry 'bout that....corrected. You can also use the email address listed.

I have a number of the type you are looking for. Three holes and made for a 1-1/4" strap. I currently have them in light and heavyweight brass and heavyweight steel. Shoot me a PM if interested. Tom

Could I get added also please??

I've used this method to layout bracers and cuffs in the past. It works well and gives a nice flat circle on each end. A beam compass like the one Storm showed helps a lot when laying these out. Remember to add any overlap you need for snaps. Follow the instructions for Radial Line Development.. http://www.tpub.com/...ss/14251_62.htm http://www.tpub.com/...ss/14251_63.htm Hope this helps...
