    HI Bob I saw your post and was looking at my wallet snap. I was wondering... do you think there is a chance that you got your snap parts in backwards and or upside down? Do you have anything else there with snaps that you can look at? I haven't set any snaps yet, although I have some and I have always wondered how to tell which parts go where... I guess it is just like anything else that comes with practice. here's a picture of my wallet snap. Hope it helps By the Way - Nice Notebook! I love your work!

    I was thinkin I should have said that they are not the 'blue gun' molds, but that they were a Holster mold made of cast resin polymer. Sooooo, I am Very happy I could be of help And Yes The duckcreektraders CD has pictures of all of their emboss plates, emboss rolls, Embossing Machines, Holster Molds, and Also ---> information on Antiquing and also Plate Embossing and Die Cutting. I have posted their information from that CD on the Antiquing and also Plate Embossing and Die Cutting. I also posted links to that information on my profile... so you can all see that information if you are interested.

    I wonder – how long after applying the Neatsfoot did you dye, and then how long after applying the dye do you put the Resolene on? I always wait a day for everything to dry. I apply the Neatsfoot on dry leather and wait a day. Apply dye and wait a day… etc. How long do you wait, Cyber?

      At least you are busy working away at something productive.

      I can't even get a project off the ground juggling family duties, work and a puppy. My Springfield order keeps calling me from its box

      Four of The Barred Owl is what I was listening to in different places of my usually very quiet neighborhood for about 1/2 hour. Sends chills up my spine...

      I freaked out the puppy listening to that haha.

      Our barred was being chased by crows and then I scared the crows away. I hope it made it home safely

    I just had the very same problem. I hate that - when you have spent so much time on something just to mess it up at the end... After the first coat dried it was all streaky. Yeikes! Then I figured I couldn't make it look any worse so I applied a second lite coat with a small scrap of cotton towel and in a circular motion. Just keep going around and around till it looks OK. *It looks just fine now - not a sign of a streak.

    Fingers on my Right hand are Numb... How do you folks hand sew for hours?

    1. Sylvia

      Sylvia

      Numbness is NOT good. I took lots of breaks. I would stretch your hands first, work until the cramping started then stop, shake my hands out, stretch and work my fingers until it subsided. Then continue until I felt it coming on again... and take a break. Get some ice on those wrists to reduce any swelling and take an anti-inflammatory over the counter med. If it doesn't get better.... see a doc.

      Thanks Sylvia. Well my fingers didn't stay numb and there was no swelling. They were just numb when stitching. This is the first time this has happened... Usually I am using both hands & 2 needles to stitch, using the Pony to hold the item. This time I was holding the item in my left hand and an awl and a needle in my right hand. Gues maybe I need to make the holes a bit bigger so I don't need to use the awl. And take a break!

    So Sorry Mike... Press the command key and the + key a couple of times and that will make the text larger Press the command key and the zero key to put it back where it belongs I do this quite often on pages I find haard to read - I usually miss-place my reading glasses so this is an easy fix or just click on a link to see the websites

    Thanks Mike, for all of your work on this subject. Your timing is amazing as I have an order for 5 pieces involving an inlay. You have brought up a couple of points I had not considered. Amazing timming... Thanks again for your all of your help here!

    Bearman had a Grrrreat idea here! I found this old post and thought I'd chime in on this... 4 years ago a friend gave me one of these and I use it every day. Especially now when I have to go out at night to get firewood... I have been using this lately for tooling and it is amaaaazing how much it helps! This light is lite (heheh), easy to wear, and easy to change the batteries. Petzl E94 PS Zipka 2 Headlamp. (Amazon $26.97 )

    NIce Wallet. I like your design.
  23. LNLeather
    Hey Thanks - I wasn't sure what to call it. I found Mylar At Amazon in page size sheets and also a large roll of 5 mil that is 40 inches wide by 12 feet.
  24. LNLeather
    You didn't mention size or whether it needs to be stiff or if flexible would be OK. I always keep any clear plastic packaging and cut it into smaller sizes I may need. I don't know if it can be bought at a crafts store, but that is a possibility. Also you might use a clear plastic page protector - it could be cut into 2 large pieces. Hope this helps
