skippy

i made a couple of rough outs ( western style though not modern) and used sealer on them after dying (resolene),i was more than happy with the results. i made 1 without dying it too so no need to seal it,was happy with it. the resolened ones got the fluffyness back after a few weeks of use.

i have actually left forums,and distanced myself from forums because of this very attitude of,noobs,and use the search button. if you cant ask a question on a forum then why bother joining one.what is the point of a forum,if not for sharing info. if you dont like seeing noobs ask questions then dont read them. i havent asked many questions on here,because of my experience with other forums and "communities". sorry if i seem a bit peeved myself,but im sick of the "elites" that know everything ,condemning those that are new.

thats really cool. the only thing i dont like is the band around the center pressing in where the rivet is,but its a cool design.

could you add me to this area too. thanks

what are those rivets?

wow.......just wow

i agree,but he was in the right so he was probably a bit pee'd off with me.

the cm on the other side are spot on,just the inches,it was actually out of a sewing cupbaord that my auntie pat left my wife when she passed away.

YES IM GOING MAD first i would like to apologise sincerely to shop4leather for my mistake. the picture explains it all. the chinese tape measure i used clearly is slightly out with its inches. i actually feel quite bad about saying bad stuff about shop4leather but in my defence im on prochlorperazine for an ilness ive had for the last 3weeks. one of the effects of labrynthitus is the eyes go blurry and distort ( whne the rooms not spinning),its a defence but not an excuse and again apologise for making the mistake.

benlilly......hahah sorry mate didnt mean to bring up old memories lol. for me,the annoying part was not the the size,it was the sellers attitude,i already had the leather photographed with my tape ruler laid out on it,he never asked once for a picture,just point blank denied that he would send a piece that size and that his computer measuring device was always right no matter what anyone else says. he didnt say he was going to check his machine,or ask to see the leather....just a straight,im right your wrong.

hi mate the belt is known as a money belt,folded in 2 and left unstitched at the top (for money). will gourmley sells patterns that has the ranger and money belt inside,hope this helps.

@twinoaks..........id love to mate,but im in the uk lol,would probably be quite high on shipping.

as i said before,i need to get some orders done,because hes wasted time, sending it back to get a new piece would put me way past when i promised the jobs would be done. ive also pointed this out to the seller,he sells a raw product that some people make a living from....buying leather to fullfill orders and promises (reputations) and that he should be more mindfull of this in the future + the extra it would cost to send it back that i couldnt claim would make it a bit too high. had his attitude been more friendly then i probably wouldnt have bothered whinging about it,its just that he automatically accepted that he was right and i was wrong. maybe the wrong piece was sent out,mistakes happen,but people could be a bit more compliant and reasonable when dealing with customers. personaly i will go back to my old seller or even tandyleather factory. definatly wont use him again just because of his attitude. ill chalk this one up to experience
