  1. Yes I like it too. Nice color combination. Ken
  2. Thanks, that helps alot. And I kinda like the white look a bit better. Ken
  3. Welcome to the forum Robert. That's some REAL nice looking work you've done, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Ken
  4. I've used a heavy duty shower curtain before, that I got from one of those recycling places. It was clear plastic and fairly heavy. Ken
  5. Jim, Sorry about the delay, I'm just finishing up the instructions for the hat. I should have it all together this week, and I'll get it out to all that have asked. I'll send you another pattern as well thats not really a ball cap, but more of a flat top type hat. I think there is one on my web page that you can look at, it's black in color. Ken
  6. They all look real good Paul. As we all know...practice makes perfect. Thanks for sharing the pics. Ken
  7. I realy like that one Leatheroo, it has a very distinctive look to it. Great work, and thanks for sharing the pics. Ken
  8. Okay, it works fine now. Ken
  9. Yes that lining realy rocks, I love it. Does the supplier have a website? Ken
  10. Here in Calgary there are a few places that sell "Recycled" stuff that people take out of homes and donate for resale. Also we have a "Homes for Humanity" store that sells the same thing. Just the other day someone "most likely a young punk" threw a rock through the back patio door window. The glass place said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get it repaired and cost $700.00. So I went to the recyclers store, and found one that was only $50.00. Ken
  11. Thats real cool Jim, I realy like your creativity. Ken
  12. Another cover worthy seat Roger. About the blisters on your fingers, are you sure their not from the stress and strain of crushing your beer can when the other team scored a touchdown? Ken
  13. Johanna, I downloaded the newest version of Java and it takes about 5 minutes to download on my DSL, and then it's not all working. There is a t the bottom of the map a "Maps by Frappi" a "Map Stats" thingy, a box with an X in it, and a box with a ? in it. But no map. Yes I did click to activate. Ken
  14. Steveb, I also like yours as well. Thanks for sharing both of you. Ken
  15. Gray, Looks good to me buddy. I also like the Celtic design.
  16. Johanna, It does'nt work, I get little boxes with red x's in them. Ken
  17. Hi Elwood and welcome to the forum. That saddle looks real fine, and to be honest I can't say there is any need for improvement, you've seem to got it down pat. Thanks for sharing the picture. Ken
  18. Welcome to the forum Luis, that's nice clean looking work you have done on your sheath. I realy like that color. I'm sure you are going to enjoy it here, and you'll find that we are all very freindly and helpful. Glad you're here. Ken
  19. Yes very nice looking indeed. Ken
  20. Lars, that looks real nice, I like the tri weave. It looks to me that the knife actualy locks into the molding of the sheath, is that how it is? Ken
  21. Tandy still sells whats called Chap, Moc, and Seating Splits. Item #9110-01 is Chocolate Brown.... -07 is Casual Brown. They say that it is good for aprons, and it is 4-5oz. Ken
  22. Ed, I agree with you on the cheap advertising E-Bay can offer. With your bag, being a very good item for this type of marketing. I also agree with you on the fees that both E-Bay and Paypal charge, and to think they are owned by each other.... My problem is that, like ShirleyZ, I would be afraid to have to sell a vest that I normally get $650.00 for, for the $100.00 asking price. I've tried setting it up as a "Buy Now" but all I got was a ton of e-mail questions, asking ALL sorts of unrealistic questions. Ken
  23. Johanna, As to E-bay, and custom leatherwork, I have not had any success with it yet. I have found that with what I make and sell is to expensive for E-Bay. I do use it to sell other things that I know will sell and I can profit off of. I also spend a fair bit of time searching for these things. But when it comes to the leather stuff, I find that most of the E-Bayers are looking for bargains. What I do do when I sell something else on E-Bay, I will include in the sent out package a business card, and also a small catalogue that I made up. This has led to a few sales, an added interest in my work. As most of the work I do is geared toward the "die haert" or "hard core" biker and his "chick", I've found that "word of mouth" has become my best advertising tool. As I've said before, a VERY large part of my business comes from wearing my own leather, and having people ask me where I got it from, when purchasing coffee at 7-11. I will also carry, and hand out a business card to every person I see riding a "Harley". I have contimplated doing the same to "Import" riders, but there's that little guy that sits on my shoulder that has a problem with that. I've been meaning to talk to him...but. Ken
  24. Very nice work again Kevin. I realy like the two tone color of this seat. Ken
  25. Hey Zimba, I'll use my straight edged steel ruler as a quide. Using it just by itself is very hard. Ken
