      I'm down in the Lewiston Clarkston area, so we get all the smoke from the fires every year.

      Tandy in Tacoma is the best... Ordered leather on Tuesday and they are delivering on Thursday... That is Fast!

  5. I wasn't sure if any one might be interested, but I thought I would mention that duckcreektraders (eBay) has 12 holsters for sale - starting at a verrry low price. I guess I was thinking that one of these might make it easy to use as a pattern for someone just starting out... to see how simple they are to put together
  6. Sooooo, Bruce, where did you look it up? I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the McMillen Tool Company and I wonder how many others have too... I did how ever find an old leatherworker.net post from 2008 that said they don't have a website and the only way to contact them is by mail or phone and if you call them they will send a catalog... McMillen Tool Co. 864 Four Water Dr. Sunrise Beach, MO 65079 Phone: 573-374-7880
  7. Did you get the leather wet before you folded it over?
  8. Very Nice! Especially for your first attempt! I just Love the simple line horse design and border! I agree with bluesman1951 - "clean simple and elegant" I am sure your wife will Love it too!
  9. I just got a Huge Order - Pretty much everything I can make in a month! WooHoo!

      Thank You all for the good wishes, support and camaraderie. I love the kind support and sharing of a common interest here! Bless you all!

  10. Very Nice! I love the way the design flows! Great Work (as usual - I love your style)
  11. Who says your work is far from perfect? I think there are a lot of folks here that would Totally disagree with you and actually envy your talent and accomplishments. Believe me and all others that have commented here...... Your work is Superior and you should not be dismayed that there are no complaints or critiquing. Your work is Very Good! Very Very Very Good! If you have only been tooling for 1 1/2 years - it is Exciting to think what you are going to accomplish...

      I think it was referring to a sine wave

      Like what one would see on an oscilloscope.

      Like this...

      I have two acrylic templates that do a nice shallow sine wave. I've not used them yet but soon.

      "1,900 m above mean seal level"

      was one I found (and found it

      very funny too). What is the

      average level of a seal anyway?

      Heheheh Just fixed my own mistake - hear to here.

  17. Hmmmm, Maybe some are not all leather... I worked for a couple of years cutting out leather pieces from patterns for leather couches, chairs, and cushions and they were all 100% leather... It was called 'garment leather' and was real soft. Not suitable for tooling, but I have seen that Garment Leather used for purses and small zippered bags - real easy to sew.

      Not my favorite part of leatherworking... although I suppose I should learn to embrace it...

  19. Hey TR, that was Very Clever... Are you an Engineer? I think you might have come up with an idea, with different designs for different items, that could make you a lot of $$... ??
  20. Well. I guess every piece we do is a learning experience... One thing (among many) to remember, and I need to remember this one too, is to practice new things on scrap first. I meant to say, I had liked the way your horse turned out. I know you did it the way she was in the picture you took, but I did like the way you got the look of Sienna facing away...
  21. Oh, what a Very Good idea! If you found one the size you want your item to be, that would also be a very good template for cutting it out too. Thanks for the tip
