Those both turned out real nice Kev. I like the lacing on the trash bag thingy. Ken

For anyone that wonders about where a certain e-mail has come from, all you have to do is "right click" the e-mail in your lisy, then click "properties" this will bring up a screen that shows you a bunch of stuff that may confuse you, but I'll try to explain it here. Here's the properties of the e-mail in question: By the way, this is the e-mail address that I was supposed to send my reply back to: wayne_happy2003@yahoo.com Return-path: <SRS0=3yXy=PQ=rexian.com=kosalxy@bounce.secureserver.net>Shows that this e-mail was bounced from this server Received: from pd4mr4so.prod.shaw.ca (pd4mr4so-qfe2.prod.shaw.ca [10.0.162.215]) by l-daemon (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 (built Sep 5 2006)) with ESMTP id <0JQB00CO71PJTM20@l-daemon> for emation@shaw.ca; Mon,My Home e-mail address 22 Oct 2007 02:46:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pd3mi6so.prod.shaw.ca ([10.0.121.236]) by pd4mr4so.prod.shaw.ca (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 (built Sep 5 2006)) with ESMTP id <0JQB00M7R1PJ2G30@pd4mr4so.prod.shaw.ca> for emation@shaw.ca (ORCPT emation@shaw.ca); Mon, 22 Oct 2007 02:46:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp06-01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ([64.202.189.20])IP Address where e-mail came from by l-daemon (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 (built Sep 5 2006)) with ESMTP id <0JQB001DC1PIE080@l-daemon> for emation@shaw.ca; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 02:46:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: (qmail 2596 invoked by uid 1000); Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:46:30 +0000 Received: (qmail 2593 invoked from network); Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:46:30 +0000 Received: from unknown (HELO p3presmtp01-07.prod.phx3.secureserver.net)Notice the word UNKNOWN ([208.109.80.156]) (envelope-sender <kosalxy@rexian.com>)Notice the sender address does not match the address to reply to by smtp06-01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net (qmail-1.03) with SMTP for <kenclark@beaverslayer.com>; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:46:30 +0000Where this e-mail was first sent (I have mine forwarded to my home account) Received: (qmail 4931 invoked from network); Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:46:30 +0000 Received: from smtpout1075.sc0.he.tucows.com (HELO n120.sc0.he.tucows.com) ([64.97.144.75]) (envelope-sender <kosalxy@rexian.com>) by p3presmtp01-07.prod.phx3.secureserver.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for <kenclark@beaverslayer.com>; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:46:30 +0000 Received: from sc0-out01.emaildefenseservice.com (64.97.131.2) by n120.sc0.he.tucows.com (7.2.069.1) id 4717E4C200085BB3; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:45:25 +0000 Received: from emd2-smtp.sc0.he.tucows.com (smtpout1107.sc0.he.tucows.com [64.97.144.107]) (Authenticated sender: kosalxy@rexian.com)This shows and authenticates the actual sender by sc0-out01.emaildefenseservice.com (Postfix) with ESMTP; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:45:28 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [62.56.147.220] by mail.rexian.com with HTTP; Mon, 22 Oct 2007 08:45:25 +0000 (America/Los_Angeles)This shows the actual city and country the e-mail came from.

Very nice looking purse Gampa, and a very noble gesture as well. Ken

Just had a look at the map, and it seems like everybody has gone....where'd everyone go? It seems so lonely now. Ken

Welcome to the forum chinkmaker. Looking forward to seeing some pics. Ken

Very nice Larry, I always enjoy seeing your work. Ken

Johanna, a stupid question here, but.... if your in a Honda, in the middle of Missouri, how are you able to post to the forum???? This kinda tells me you got a NICE laptop with some sort of fancy wireless web thingy. I'd be interested to know what your using for this amazing feat of posting to the forum from a moving vehicle in Missouri. Ken

Hello all, Here's the content of an E-Mil I just recieved. I'm wondering just how STUPID this guy thinks I am. What do you guys think? Content of E-Mail: Hello Sales, This is to let you know that i interested in purchasing some product from your company.Before,I can proceed on the inquiry. First,I will like to know that you accept credit-card.Also,I want you to advice on the shipping company you prefer using for international shipment (West Africa).I await your response. Regards. Wayne. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own free Chinese email account at ReXian.com today. http://www.rexian.com And to think he's got a CHINESE E-Mail account, and he wants me to ship to WEST AFRICA. I'm thinking NOT. Ken

Leatheroo, Check this out, I found the link to the pics he posted on the Biker Forum. Hole Punch Ken

Leatheroo, I hear you load and clear about punching holes...LOL... I also saw that picture of the drill being used. I myself would never use such a method for the simple fact that there is a possibility that the leather may "catch" and go flinging out of your hand, and then spin wildly around the drill bit. Are you just punching holes into veg tan leather, or is it also like garment leather? I have a set of punches by Al Stohlman that I use, but I punch each hole individually. Some items like a vest have in excess of 800 holes. For my hats I use the same 4 prong punch that you have described, and a hat has about 260 holes. There is a member here that had a custom made air opperated hole punch made for him by some people in the US, they made it and sent it to him without him even knowing about it. He had complained on a Biker Forum just like you are now, and some of them got together and did this for him. His name here is Gremlin, and maybe if you sent him a PM, he would show you pics on how it was made. Just a tought, tell him I told you about the hole punch. Ken

I'm thinking that the tools with the rust on the actual pattern of the tool are done for. Even if you could get all the rust out, the rust will have left a pit mark where it was. Replating is going to be more expensive than new tools I would think. As for the ones that are rusted on the knurls and such, just use your dremel with a wire wheel and then paint with a rust paint. The duct tape residue can be removed with a product sold at Home depot called "Goo Be Gone" this stuff is amazing at taking gunk like that off of anything. Good Luck Ken

Hi all, Since I have been getting e-mails on a regular basis regarding the way my website worked under Firefox, I decided to change the whole layout. I downloaded Firefox and while running both IE7 and Firefox, built a new site. The only thing I have'nt been able to get to work on the Firefox is the "Hat Sizing" chart. I believe it is because it is done as a "Table", I'll probably have to make one as a JPEg, and use it instead. But if you all would'nt mind having a look, and letting me know how it works, and also if you see any mistakes, I would appreciate it. As staring at this monitor building the site has worn my eyes down, all the extra eyes would really help out. Thanks Ken

Ed, I bought the 400XPR Kit from Dremel 3 years ago for $249.00 Canadian. Back then that would have been about $150 USD. I'm pretty sure you can pick one up for much cheaper now. It has all the attachments you'd ever need for leatherwork and then some. It is variable speed and has the Flex shaft as well. I just found this link $109 USD for the 400XPR Ken

Well Mike, I can't see any mistakes at all. It looks real good to me, the flowers are exceptional. Ken

Ed, I'm not familiar with that rivet, but I have never had a problem with any of the rivets or snaps that I have used. My belief is, if it has a stud that has to be expanded to create the securing of the rivet or snap, the length is in most cases the length of the stud is made to accomodate more than one thickness of material. Thus, cutting it down to a shorter length will not harm or take away from the strength. Just be careful you don't cut off to much. I will always do a few "Test" ones just to be sure. Ken

Mike, yep I use a mallet and anvil. Also, I'll trial and error a few before I get the right length of cutting. Ken

Mike, What I've done, is depending on the thickness of the leather I'm putting the snap into, I will cut a bit of the stud off. This keeps it from causing that deformation of the button. Ken

Ah, thanks Dave, stupid me thought it was a film for keeping water out on the finished seat..LOL Ken

Very nice again Dave. I really like the color of those. What is the thin plastic film on the back of the other one for? Ken

That's pretty cool Regis, I've never seen anything like it either. Ken

Very nice LJ. I like the way the sheath molds around the handle like it dies. The knife making is really starting to intrique me, I visit "British Blades" forum from the UK, and am very intriqued at all the diferent types of knives that are made there. Ken

That's a very original looking tank bib Mike, I really like it. Great work and thanks for sharing it with us. Ken

That looks great freddie, the lacing came out real good. Ken

Welcome Nixon66, good to have you here. As the others have said, there is plenty of people here that will be happy to help you along the way. Hope to see some of your work in the near future. Ken

If you'd like, you can display it on MY work bench...LOL Ken
