Apply dye from smaller bottles. I have 4 oz bottles I fill from the quarts to make it easier to use. When using a brush, mix in jars with a wide base, not "tippy". The best ones are wider than they are tall. And where possible, keep the dye bottles on a level BELOW the project - if you drip or tip, the project is spared. Doesn't need to be on the floor.. just having the project an inch or two higher than the bottle prevents a spill from being a ruined project. And cover the table. No need to spend a bunch of time and money.. the paper your sides of leather come rolled in works great. If you do spill, drip, slip -- replace the paper. And yes -- gloves. The latex ones I use are like $4 per JILLION or something like that. Money well spent. Available at the drug store up the street. So as a rule: place paper on the table. place project on the paper, perhaps with a board or cutting board under it to raise it above the dye bottle. paint what you paint, however you do it. Seal and wipe the bottle(s). Walk away - clean any brushes that need it, and then Pitch the gloves. When it's dry, THEN go back, remove the paper - any spills or drips on the paper should also be dried. Check the paper -- you may be able to 'flip' it to use for applying finish to that project. Otherwise, replace. repeat above steps for finish coat(s) Oh, if you're in the vicinity of a market, BUTCHER paper works great. Cheap, repels most all liquids, comes in wide rolls. Roll out on the bench, use as needed, discard, roll out new piece.

I just got a request to return a shield 9 holster that "doesnt' fit" from a rings gun. Strange, the first 300 or so fit okay. Could have just admitted that he spent more than his wife gave him permission to do! -

I'm right there with ya on the prepped and "dowel". Havent' used cooks molds, but not opposed to them either ( I really like Duncans guns, but they're tough these days). Trigger guard filled or not make no difference to me, but I do the sight a bit differently, and I like the port NOT filled. I put that one in the cart... guess it wouldnt' hurt to have it on hand. Maybe easiest way to do it is pick one up, make the holster for it, then find a guy local with one of the Colts and have him test the fit ?@! Seems like the long way around, but ... it's okay. I could send one to this current fella just as easy, but that doesn't let ME see the fit. -
Even if it's just line art, that Coast Guard thing at 3G does look pretty good. Just not what I was looking for atm. Folks feel free to add others you know of (or if it's yourself, as well) and we'll have a list the next fella kin maybe NOT spend time searchin'. If they did ya a good job, why not refer 'em ?

JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Well, not if it fits the same as the Colt Most 1911's purdy durn simlar.. just a bit weary of gittin' asked to make this one, checkin', seein' still no mold.. you'd think SOMEBODY woulda molded one by now. If it isn't cost effective to mold ONE, then I'll jump in say I'll take the first one if that could happen Maybe I gotta take first TWO? -
Well, shoot! Look like everybody just doin' line art. Maybe what I need is more of an embossing plate. STILL, good to collect this info in one place fer the next fella, so appreciatecha boys No particular order ... https://www.etsy.com/shop/CustomMadeStuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Design-Your-Logo-Leather-Seal-Wood-Stamp-Branding-Iron-Carving-Mold/382286790022?hash=item5902117d86:m:mxK2t0VgU1u9BQEIZjJLxxw http://www.steelstamps.com http://www.greyghostgraphics.com https://www.facebook.com/StampsForLeatherStore/

I think you sposedta stamp 25 at a time.. saves 24 trips to the press BytheWay ... when you gona alter that heritage holster (.22) to cover the trigger guard, provide a hammer protection "lip", and drop the skirt so that the top of the butt is about waist high, and shorten the skirt so that the loop IS the bottom of the skirt? You knw, just a slight 'mod'

Okay, trying to search the site is pretty much exhausting. Prolly fine if ya got nuthin else to do all day? So WHO makes these stamps... I mean an ACTUAL stamp, not some font typed into a cnc somewhere looking like any other? I'm a bit confused as to why there wouldn't be a SINGLE PLACE where this info is displayed. Or maybe there is but it isn't searchable... ANYWAY.. off to check the "services" section. I've always found these "makers mark" things a bit of a small man complex, but some regular customers have actually ASKED for one ..

Dressing up the ugly duckling
JLSleather replied to Treed's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
That looks pretty good. Is that the way he wears the belt, or did you just put it together that way? Only folks I know where their belt with the tip pointing south like this are girls and a couple left-handed boys, and I assume a lefty didn't ask for a righty holster -
Sides for $30, maybe I shoulda went and checked it out?@! Worst kin happen, I gotta have lunch with that little cutie girl (or both of em) works at the store...

Have you guys considered trimming down?
JLSleather replied to OnePivot's topic in Feedback and Suggestions
TRIMMING DOWN? Hey, I know I got carried away on Turkey Day (again) but I still fit these 34 jeans jus fine, thank you -
Well that looks like a lotsa good stuff. But.. no "Girls of Springfield" calendar?@!

From the album: Odds
The "denim" giraffe from SLC.. purdy durn good match for the handle o' this fella's knife. -
It's official -- I STILL lack self-control and should never be allowed anywhere where it says "all you can eat"

Tooling leather comes largely from cows. So don't go buy tooling leather, just git yerself some cows, and a good knife ... Seriously, there's a bottle of stuff right on the shelf that is MADE FOR THAT. And try to lighten up a tad bit.

I nearly caused a tandy manager a coronary event a few years back. Couldn't find an awl that ACTUALLY CUTS without standing on the back of it. New gal SAID these awls were great stuff, but I'd seen enough junk that I wanted to SEE it work. So I went over to a stack of 9/10 dbl shoulders, picked up a corner and went to PIERCE it.. without a winch or a maul. By the way teh manager came flying over, I guess he could use some new shorts. I could have let it go, I guess, but instead I told him I'll TAKE the leather, and IF the awl is worth anything I'll take that too. But I didn't care for the way he tried to make it that young gal's "fault", so that got a bit ugly. I paid for the leather, gave 'em back yet another crap awl, and never shopped there again (though I did offer that kid free lunch and a recommendation to tell that idiot what to do with his "position"). If they won't show you it works, they either don't believe it works, or they don't want to sell it.
