Believe me when I say We Are Not getting Tired of your binding design OR Of Anything you choose to do. Your work is of the Highest Quality (truly wish I was good at ropin' & was in that competition) I love the design, your tooling, and especially the finger cuts! Wow... Truly Awesome!

No feedback here, just appreciation! I Really like your tooling style... on the design and on the letters. I'm positive your brother is just lovin' this. I know I would!

Ohhhhhhh. I understand. The important part of that sentence was here, as in where You are (and not here as in leatherworker.net). Silly me to think you were saying anything else… Your work is Way too Special not to share… And, if you came to Vashon, well that would be just way too cool for words. Vashon Bearman! Ooooh Yes, you would fit right in! We would make you feel right at home here! heheheh Lots of crazy artist's of all kinds here. (plus I would love to take a few lessons from the Esteemed Bearman) Now, hurry up and Move (and get your shop set back up) Oh, and by the way – I Love using my Bearman Maul!

Wow! Your Tooling and Design is Awesome and Beautiful, ( as usual! ) Definitely High Quality workmanship to strive for... .....but I am wondering - in your 7:33 PM post........ what did you mean by "for my last project here." Did you mean "for my latest project here." ? or have I missed something... ?

Very Nice! Nice tooling! I like the way you used a mule foot instead of a cam... and I really really like your design on the upper strap. Wow! No wonder it was hard to let go of, But I bet there will be many more that are hard to give up

That's funny, how much the belt would cost and how much you spent in tools & leather. You got the leather bug, that's for sure....... but that's a good thing. It's so much fun. I really like your ornament, Nicely done! I checked out that website & he makes Really Nice looking Santa Buckles, I can see why you would want more than one.

The second one is nice too........ but I really like the first one - Great Design! I love the handles & shoulder strap. Nice work!

Hi DM I don't know a lot about guns and I am not sure if these folks will have what you are looking for, but I know that among other emboss plates and emboss rolls, they are making quite a few different Gun Molds out of Cast Resin Polymer, and you can go to their ebay auction at Duckcreektraders and look at what they have up for auction now - they currently have these up for sale - * Vaquero 5 1/2" Holster Mold * 22 Auto Holster Mold * 1911 Holster Mold Or You could probably go to their website Bunkhouse Tools and look at what they have Or if you don't see what you are looking for, you could email them and ask. Raymond & Patty Tipton are really great folks so don't be shy if you have any questions... Like I said, I don't know much about guns, or if one would be similar to another, but I do know they make a Sm Frame Colt Style Holster Mold I do hope this helps

Hi I don't know if you are still trying to sell your sewing machine but there is a place here to advertise things for sale. Go back to the main forum page and scroll down to the Marketplace and in a sub-heading is a choice for "Machinery -- Sewing and Stitching" and there you will find a choice for New or Used sewing machines for sale. That's the place to post a picture and your add for selling your old Singer... It works, because I sold a machine there a few months back. Good luck to ya

I can tell you have made this before....... it clearly shows in the extremely clean lines and straight stitching. I can tell this is clearly high quality leather to work with... it looks like there are no flaws...... soft & smooth... Definitely something to be proud of. Excellent braiding too...

Wow, I Love this! I would not have thought that yellow could be this impressive. Congratulations on your 1st place ribbon! It is well deserved! *I love the mystery braided strap. I would use this purse.... I would buy this purse...

Bully.... for you and your accomplishments, but It is not what you say, it's How you say it. (I think) Harsh criticism is Not constructive..... 99% of the "leather-work critique" I see through out the forums is in-line with the "flavor" of this site... Kind, Encouraging & Helpful Harsh criticism is more of a power trip than it is thoughtful or helpful... it crushes my spirit... How do 'you' react when you get harsh criticism? Dosen't feel too good does it? Most of us are here to learn, and I learn better when I am happy and having fun... Read what it says after the forum titles...... Show Off!! What have you been up to lately? Show it here! If you want a critique, just ask! Our members willingly share their knowledge and experience. or Critique my Work! If you post a pic here, you want people to tell you what you did right, what you could have done better, and what you need improvement on. All constructive replies welcome, and no hurt feelings! I am fairly new to leather working, and have a lot to learn... But I sure am having a lot of fun doing this! I look back at some of my first attempts and have to laugh, and bless my friends and family for appreciating them as I did at the time MHolzer The very first thing that caught my eye was your background coloring - I really like the way that turned out. I have Scottish heritage and have just been learning about their popular designs - The Scottish thistle and the Rampant Lion. I appreciate your design and can totally relate to your comment about "your normal attempts at drawing" because my drawing attempts are soooo Hilarious & laughable..... I totally agree with the Joker and I think that what you did is just fine and I am also sure your friend will treasure this for a lifetime. I know I would!

Hi Kid Nice, Again... Very Fine work! I just love every thing you do!

Yes , Welcome to Leatherworker OrchidNoir - Love your picture (you ? ) and really love the picture of grampa! That is Great! I am sorry to hear you dont still have his tools, that would have been mighty special... But I am sure he'd be proud to hear you are gettin back to the art of leatherworking.

I like your work... looks like you are keeping busy! I am just a noob, but I think if you keep on tooin' you will just Naturally get better. I learn something new every day, and I can actually see it in your work... and so do others... not everyone will take the time to say so, but you can tell by the numbers of people that have downloaded your pictures! I really like your belts with the Basketweave and especially the Celtic claw (on the back of the notebook cover) Have fun & thanks for posting your pictures Keep on toolin and posting your pics for sure! ps. .......remember to search here (upper right hand corner of the page) for anything you have a question about. There is soooooo much really great info about everything leather work related in old posts here at leatherworker.net

Awesome! I agree with Joquarter.. best flowers I've seen too... amazing depth... & Love the ladybug

I am sooooo totally impressed, respect, and admire your work... ... Hold in High regard... where do you get your inspiration...

Last Friday I read a recent article in Consumer Reports about how to protect your credit & bank cards from ID theft. Apparently there are ways to prevent Radio Frequency ID tags from cards in your wallet - being transmitted onto recording devices…. It looks like the easiest way is to wrap your cards in tin foil. I found a neat set of directions for making a Duct Tape wallet Duct Tape Wallet and how to add tin foil to it Duct Tape wallet w/tin foil I did a search here for tin foil and found nothing on the subject and then I went on-line to research the subject. Then I googled 'wallet to protect card from ID theft' and there are all kinds of things available out there for sale. Wallets, checkbooks, and Pasport cases... Anything that holds bank or credit cards, etc. From what I read on-line - RFID chips now exist in: # Chase's Blink Credit Card # Mastercard PayPass Credit Card # Many Corporate IDs # Many University IDs # United States Passports # Euro Passports It could also be a selling point for those special items… You could have some with and some without the foil. *RFID blocking technology protects personal information embedded in many debit/credit cards and US passports issued after October 2006 It sure would be easy to add aluminum foil to your Wallets, checkbooks, and Pasport cases... Anything that holds bank or credit cards, etc. by putting the aluminum foil under the lining material. A couple of small dollops of glue should hold it in place while you are sewing it up. So I have been wondering if any of you had heard about this or know about this or have thought about adding aluminum foil to your wallets or ID cases or anything that also holds ID cards?

Just a side note here... Anyone just looking for pictures of holsters and belts for inspiration and for those that can't afford the book... there are lots and lots of pictures to be found in a Google image search for Packing Iron Just the first website I looked at had a lot of pictures of different belt and holster styles Cowboy Gunleather
