You should think about adding a few more lights to your machine... -
If a shipment enters a region that is below freezing, it can definitely have a negative effect on the paint. I had thousands of dollars of this very paint shipped to me, and it was frozen when it arrived. Even after warming up, it was destroyed. It turned into a jello - like substance and could not be remixed/shaken back. The other issue is shelf life. You never know how long the re-seller has had the product in inventory. If the product has a shelf life of 1 year, and it took 6 months to sell that particular bottle - the customer now has a product with a shelf life of 6 months, and they won't even realize it.

Is it really Linen, or is it Ramie?

Can you stack another piece of leather to add the thickness needed to make the machine work on thin leather?

Good information. I know they do this with their "Amazon Basics" brand, but do you know if they are selling directly outside of that brand also?

Yes, I haven't listed the teeth on the site but they will probably be between 10 and 20 dollars for a full set. The teeth are hand finished and take a bit of time to make. I might also make a video to show how to make the teeth in case anyone has the desire to make their own.

Hey folks, just want to announce a new set of pricking irons I've been working on. If anyone has questions or would like to see a particular image or video demonstration, I'm up for suggestions. http://lekoza.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=141

Hey, thanks all. I went to wind a bobbin with the machine without realizing the machine was threaded up, and this happened.

Their stuff is made in China, FYI.

Can someone tell me what the piece highlighted in red is called? I'm trying to find it online but not coming up with anything. This is a Cowboy 227r. Thanks

Unless you are going to use most of the buckles yourself, I don't feel it would be worthwhile to do this. There are so many off the shelf buckles available, and most will not care where they are made. Is there something special about the design you want made, aside from where it is made?

No. He pulled / stretched and worked that ball longer than the others.

Not a bad idea for a clicking knife -

Hi Dave. Fuxia is the Italian word for fuchsia. Cielio is misspelled on my site. I just updated it to Cilielgio, which means cherry tree. Not sure why it is named that, but don't worry - it is the brown that shows in the photo.

Yes I had some issues with the factory when trying to have them produce smaller thread sizes. The shipping weight of each roll is 6-7 ounces per 0.6mm roll, and 9-10 ounces for each 0.8mm roll. Look on the first page of this thread if you want to see a picture of the thread's braid - I uploaded a picture.

I would guess there are some first grade items that end up at Maverick because they are a custom run that ended up with a color that wasn't quite right, for example. It's a gamble though, because it's hard to know the real reason why they are being sold there - something like loose grain might not show up in the pictures.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Garrett, In the future if you have time to post a picture of a project using the thread, I would love to see it. ~Matt

Thanks Garrett, This should be fixed now.

Best Edge Wax Mixtures? Ingredients And Ratios?
Matt T replied to Jarednem's topic in How Do I Do That?
Carnauba wax can be used in small amounts. It is a harder wax from palm trees.
