  1. Its obvious -- sell that machine and get one that fits your edge guide. Is it hitting the roller, or just the bracket? If the left capscrew is tight, should be able to just remove the one under the lift arm. I assume you aren't LEANING ON THE LEATHER for support -- one screw should hold it.
  2. fakebook. ANY "closed" group requires that, right? Realisitcally, WHY would a group even be "closed"? If you sell something, wouldn't you WANT it seen? Got a message from fakebook.. want my mobile phone #, wont let me log in without it. Nah.. I don't think I need to provide a phone number, or my name, or my birth date, or anything else to somebody NOT EVEN THE ONE selling me something. Incidentally, my credit has been LOCKED for a long time. If I ever decide to finance anything, THEN I would unlock it long enough to run teh credit, before putting the lock RIGHT BACK on What part of 'none of your business' are people not getting these days? I guess when you have a world where people actually kill themselves trying to post pics of what they're doing ...
  3. Yup. If somebody random dialed your number (so they have your number) and said they need your full name and date of birth, would you give it to them? Other way, if they had your name, would you then give them your phone # and date of birth? Or would you conclude that they 1) are insane, or 2) have decided that you are an idiot.
  4. Got asked to "check out" a fakebook page, buyin/sellin/swappin things for leather. But apparently, can't get to that page from a business page, I guess only personal account? Yeah, okay -- create a personal account. No, you really DON"T need to know my date of birth to sell me leather tools, but ... fine, create personal account. But apparently can't see the "conversation" until you join the group. So, you're joining a group you don't know what it's about. Now that you've provided your full name and date of birth. None of which has anything to do with selling me leather equipment. So, fine - join the group. And get a note saying you're "pending" ... Some people just OUT OF CONTROL arrogant. WTH exactly do these people think they are?@! Hey, you DON"T wanna sell / swap your stuff, just keep doing what you're doing. And the "cobra machine" group, same thing. And some "artisan digital poo" thing, same thing. Wow -- I guess if nobody tells you you're "special", gotta say it yourself?@! Thanks anyway, folks... that's like a store stocking the shelves, then requiring ID at the door You can keep it, then ...
  5. for a full size, I wouldn't use less than 7/8 oz. Many prefer 8/9 oz, but I think if you're using a reinforcement panel 7/8 will be fine. Maybe a bit heavier for the paddle itself, depending on what youre using there -- leather only? kydex? metal?

    Swing 'n' a miss... no cigar. Revision 1 out soon
  7. From the album: Stuff 'n' things

    Didn't realize it until I went to cut it out, but this is the first time I got asked to do this holster in this coloring. That's a popular little shooter.
  8. Yup, this here ↑ Snug up the bottom, and it will not only cosmetically line up, but will put the majority of the friction (pronounced ree- ten - shun) in the BOTTOM of the rig, so the guy doesn't have to PULL the entire length - just break it loose and yer good Common for most Glocks, Smith's shield, many others...
  9. Nice color (and cool design ). I got a request to do one the OTHER way around -- red shark on black cow.
  10. Alrightey, then ... I was logged in, and got the error. Must not have logged off. Not sure why it would send me to the logon page when I AM logged in. But when I log OFF (or out) then the links DO work and I do not get redirected to the logon page. Incidentally, give that kid I talked to yesterday a raise.... (drat- still better at remembering a girl's voice than her name). Her knowledgeable and honest answers to my questions talked me OUT OF buying that little bit of those leathers - wasn't the right call for the job - but likely results in LARGER future purchases from us.
  11. Well, that was the idea.;) Getting that same thing this morning, though. Could be on my end I suppose, but its ONLY your site. When I click the link above https://www.springfieldleather.com/Oxford-XCEL-Sides-London-Green it DOES go to that page. Then in a second (or two) it auto redirects to https://checkout.springfieldleather.com/Springfield-Quickstart/Denali-Quickstart/checkout.ssp?origin=home&is=login&login=T#login-register Did I make a point of logging OUT when I was done? Checking ...
  12. weird - not getting it now. Got it for several days -- even when logged in it would divert to that page and ask for login. Recognized my login, allowed me to put stuf in the cart, then would ask me to login even though it showed me logged in (?!@#). Tried it both ways, using links above, seems okay now -- logged in or not. Latest version of Chrome.
  13. clearing and checking ...
  14. @TonySFLDLTHR I mentioned it to that girl this morning, but again -- might mention to teh IT guys... clicking those links BEGINS to open that page, then quickly redirects to a page to log in. Just irritating. I'm pretty easy to work with, but I can see some people gtting irritated and shopping elsewhere.
  15. Yep, was lookin' at this. Not gonna work on THIS project, but I do like the look of this stuff https://www.acadialeather.com/product-page/scotch-pine-crazyweather-5oz
  16. Young gal just told me that on the phone, too Sad part is, I could have PAINTED a piece of HO and been DUN by now Keeping this stuff in mind, though, as well as the glue that girl was telling me about for use with oil tanned leathers.
  17. Nice looking stuff, and that IS the marbled look I'm interested in. A bit thick, though, by the time you glue to something else it's a bit much for this knife (blade about 4 1/4"). Marking them for later, though I was there first That first link looks nice. This is basically something I'm doing for a guy who ordered something ELSE and who was so durn friendly I agreed to make him a knife sheath too. He isn't too worried about beauty, just wants his knife protected while brush stomping. Between that and the marbled handle, got me thinking "pull up" leathers. Sheaths aren't my "thing", but it's a case for a nice knife belonging to a nice guy, so ... Nice lookin' knife, so gonna give him something he can actually like
  18. Something like this would work, if it was either veg tanned in 6-8 oz, or if it was thinner I could glue it to some veg tanned ... this is the approx color and effect I want. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Oxford-XCEL-Blue-Ink-Pre-Cut-12x-24
  19. Looking for something with teh marbled look -- like you'd see in horween or a pullup leather -- but in a veg tan that will wet form. ?? Checked about 20 places with no luck. Only need enough to do a knife sheath for a fella, but I'd take a bit more if I could find it. Not interested in a side, but might be willing to buy a bend or double shoulder if it was nice. Something in gray - blue - slate type shades? In about a 6, 7 or 8 oz (though I could live with a 5)
  20. 'Preciatecha, Boss. Had a bunch of that 2-tone thing requested lately. And the curve in the holster as well
  21. OH SHOOT.. you said "set up" I thought you were including tables Too bad they aint some commercially available rig you could weight teh bottom of a pole. Like one them thingies for patio umbrellas. But, how did you decide on the type of sign to make before deciding on how to display it?
  22. Might be quicker 'n' easier, drill a hole in teh table near a corner , the size of the pvc pipe. Put the sign on top of the pipe, and shove the bottom of teh pipe in the hole like a patio unbrella Lets go over that again. 2" OR SO PVC pipe, about 6' long. Notch the end to fit teh sign (hacksaw, drill, whatever. Hole saw on teh table at 2" or 2 1/8". When ya git ta the show, put the sign on the "pole, shove the "pole" in da hole, carry on ...
  23. we still lookin' fer the low-down mangey no-good sidewindin' varmints what dun this after 12 years?
