Beeza, You have to stop teasing us with that seat I see in the background... Ken

I agree with the Major and Johanna as well. I learned from one person to immerse, then when the person that taught me pretty much everything I know now first saw me immersing a piece of leather...his 16 oz mallet almost took my ear off. needless to say I use a spray bottle now with Dawn soap added...just a few drops.

Welcome to the forum Trevor, I think you will like it here, lots of warm and friendly people to help you out when needed. So how's the winter way down under? Ken

Welcome Aaron, Nice job on the wallet. What kind of lace is that you used? Ken

Welcome aboard Dink, Alot of great people here, full of knowledge and experience to answer any questions. We all get along just great, and look forward to seeing more of your work. Ken

A Warm welcome to you Doug, The portfolio looks very good, I'm a big fan of that color. I'm pretty sure you are going to fit in just fine here, any questions, there's lots of people willing to help. Ken

Ted, I would sujest that you take a piece of Oak or some other wood (preferably a hardwood) and drill a mess of holes into it. That way you can arrange the tools in such a way that they are more organized. Like tools in one row with smaller to larger. Ken

buttery, Are you saying that you are going to put a piece of leather through an inkjet printer? If so, and you have one that is capable of accepting the leather, then all you have to do is purchase water resistant ink cartridges for the printer. If not the saddle lac or neat lac is the way to go. Ken

Welcome Candy, I know you will like it here..lots and lots of GREAT and helpful people. Ken

David, Again, some very nice work. What did you use for the liner? Ken

Grumpy, Very nice and clean work, I especially like the Celtic Dragon. Ken

Azmal, My hat is off to you....that is some AMAZING work you've done there, I can't imagine the time and effort that would be put into such work. More pictures PLEEEEEAAASE....... Ken

braider, Very, Very nice work. I really like the color and the lacing, it makes the bag look like a million dollar bag. Ken

Ed, Well having been an engineer for 22 years in a previous life my advice to you is: 1. Go to home depot and buy one of their 22w circline bulb adapters that go into a regular light socket, take the magnetic transformer out of that and use it in my nonfunctioning worklamp. Since I would be taking the transformer from a 22w adapter, I know the specs are correct. Which is exactly what you said first in your post. I also checked with a master electrician just to be sure before I told you this. Ken

Larry, You do some VERY BEAUTIFUL work, those straps are just wonderful. Looking at them makes me want to learn how to make them, as I live in Calgary...Canada's Rodeo Capital, and home of the Calgary Stampede. If I could make them as Beautiful as you do...I'd get rich here... Keep up the great work. Ken

Johanna, May you have a wonderful and happy birthday, and many more to come. Your work here on the forum is so much appreciated. Ken

John, That seat looks real good. I especialy like the way you used the eyelets for the lacing holes, it adds a real nice look to the seat. I also love the color. Ken

llasso, "One day I would like to take some lessons in leather work, I do it my self and do not know if it is good or bad work." You should be the one giving the lessons...you do amazing work. Ken

llasso, That is some VERY fine work you do there, I'm extremely impressed with the spur straps. Ken

I'd be willing to give odds that it will be black...now that would put it into the ugly catagory... but not because of your work. Ken

Well it is BIG, but it definetly isn't ugly....very nice work again David, are you going to dye it? Ken

I'm impressed, very nice work. The hardware, is that Silver? Ken

Welcome Peter, Great work, Looking at that breast plate really makes me appreciate polyester...LOL...I couldn't imagine wearing one of those back in the day. Great work though, and enjoy the forum. Ken

Beeza, Very nice work again, I really like this one. The leather you used for the sides and wrap around, what wiegth is it? It looks like upholstery leather from the pics. Ken

Well Larry I vote for "Very Good" nice work. Ken
