Wow, that is very nice! .......and I agree with cowdog (although I really like your screen name) your handle just doesn't fit any more.

Oh, I love your wallet! I have a picture of a 50 Chevy pickup we had in the family for about 15 years. I might have to borrow your idea and put old Maybeline on a wallet too. The old truck is gone, but I had put a leather seat cover on the bench seat and the seat back and covered the steering wheel with leather too. Thanks for reminding me... I also really like the coloring on your wallet - the background and the truck. . What color did you use for the background?

Pretty Fancy Rodeo Queen Chaps! Lucky gal - who wins those... By the way, when is the Moses Lake Roundup? I have a friend in Cle Elum that might be interested.

Really Nice Spur Straps and I love the color you got on the stirrups!

Very Nice 1/2 scale saddle... I checked out your gallery and clearly you can do it all - anything you put your mind to..... won't be any grass growin' under your feet... Very Nice work!

Very Very Nice. Nice clean stitching & I really like your stitching around the snaps...

HI I was looking at some leather tools on ebay last night and noticed that some of the tools have very good close up pictures. I was thinking this might be a good source of information for your question about "How do you know what tools to use for what ? " I am pretty new to this leather working too and have no classes close enough. So I made up a collection of photos to refer to for future reference. So here are a few just to give you ideas... Basket stamp Pyramid Border Stamp Border stamp Small Pointed Beveler Mules Foot What I have noticed is I learn something every time I sit down to work on leather. You will notice a big difference in your work once you have a solid work surface for tooling. I started on a chunk of steel and now I have an old granite counter top from a remodel. So just be patient and practice and read..... here at leatherworker.net there are so many answers to your questions, and pictures too. Up at the top of this page, just below the information for your profile, is a search box and also an Advanced option. Click on Advanced and enter something like coasters, check book, or any thing you want to read about and then scroll down and click on Display results As posts and you will get a list of every post with that word in it. So you will get information and pictures too. Also if you like a particular members work you can search for their posts to see all of their pictures. Also you can find some tooling videos to watch on YouTube...... What I love the most about this forum is how happy to be helpful everyone is....

Your work, sir, is truly inspirational!

That is a very clever way to make your pattern. I am sure that idea will help a lot of folks. Back when I had a bike (700 Shadow - I know... eeeww a Honda) I wasn't doing leather work. Wish I had another bike to dress up now. BTW - Nice Job.... for an amateur? Ha. Between the design, tooling, dying and fantastic lacing job - I don't imagine you need to be thinking of your skills as any less than excellent! Very Very Nice seat! (& bike)

Very Nice! I like them all - especially the cell phone case design. Nice lace work also... Good Work!

FYI - your link is not to a picture. *Below the reply box is an easy way to attach your pictures...

Ditto - WoW Do you mind hearing that one more time? I just love your choice of background color too.

I know this post is from August - 2010, but I have been browsing and WOW! This Guitar Strap is Awesome! (I wonder if that lining is suede?) Any Way, That guitar strap is Very Very Beautiful! As was said previously - This inspires me to do better.
