Thanks for your advices. This horse is Brincadeiro, the saddle is for him.

My friend X. L. Rey has made for me two excellents knives for cutting leather: 1- a half-round knife 2- a mixture between beveler and trim or round knife-cutter, I don't know how to call him exactly (this last one is my own design, a bit personal). The blades are excellents, a perfect cut, deer horn handle, forged steel, fine work, easy for use, ... like a glove on the hand. I hope persuaded to my friend for to make an adjustable lace maker for several wides and more knives. I wish you like it and I would like to read your opinions about the utility of these two knives.

Happy Birthday in the paradisiac Florida!!

I hope see you here next 100 happy birthdays!

Pleeeeeeeeease!!!, for when a mask with the face of a Klingon (star trek) or a star wars warrior? I'm sure that you can do it. I like that gryphon, fine wok.

I have horsehide of 3 mm = 7 to 8 oz = 0.12 inch = 0.01 ft. Is a good leather for carving or stamping? Which is the better use for this horsehide?

The trick is get a plastic sheet similar to the craftaids for to print the computer desing and get your own craftaid. Does anybody know the name of that plastic and the way of made a plastic craftaid?

Hoyden, are you the the de hide designer manager from Buitton or Loewe? Can you explain a bit about how-to make that flowers and letters on the music notes?

Wellcome Kevin! I don't know why, but all kinfemakers are also leathercrafters, and sometimes woodcrafters. I practice the three "way of life". I hope look here at your works.

Very nice work!!! Looking at your collars I would like make a dozen, although I have not a pretty dog like Wallace. Your collars seem as Loewe's belts for men, very fashion.

Hello Larry and wellcome to this forum! Law Enforcement leather nowadays is almost a leather art, a way of fashion.

Thanks folks! Is not hard to make if you have made twenty or more. Is a good model for a keychain or for to place in the penciltip. You can use an origami patterns book for these kind of desings.

sorry, I don't know North Alabama but I would like it. I think that you can get it in a photocopy store because they use the plastic sheets for binding. You can look for in a plastics store, I suppose.

Hoyden, why not to order one tailored, customized, to a knifemaker?

I always use a thin plastic sheet. I never use wood or cardboard. If you use a very hard wood, then could use a thin board. If the leather is vegetable tanned you can use a thin metal's sheet of aluminium.

Hi folks! A few years ago I had a girlfriend (nowadays my heart is alone!) and she asked to me help for choice a purse and leather accesories. I forgot her with the time. Today I have received from her the pics with all the purses that she was testing or proving in years and asking to me again what purse I like for her. Please, help me in the choice.

I need to buy a saddle, western or spanish styles, and I'll be grateful to anyone helps to me in the choice. I would like that with my saddle the horse can run rested, easily, and equally a hard saddle. I'll buy it here because the store is from a friend of mine, you can see the models

Hoyden, thanks. I saw your pics. A beautiful Lady with a buccaneer!, tell her that is a bad choice for a son-in-law. I know that in the american market there are wood swords very realistic for training and for make and scabbard. Be careful, she knows more fencing than you!

Excellent tutorial! Thanks

Why people that likes firearms also likes leathercraft and nifemaking or woodturning? Wellcome!

Hi Annied! I like your work and the old books, I have a little old books collection, one book is from 1560, writed in latin and covered with lambhide, I'm in love from him!
