    Blot most of the dye off your brush so it is almost dry. Sometimes called dry brushing. Doesn't drop a glob of dye when you touch the leather, so no line where it spread out. Tom

    Editing your posts is only available for a short time, maybe 15 to 30 minutes. If you need something fixed beyond that time frame, a moderator can do that for you. Else, just add more info or comments to a new post in the existing thread. Helps keep related things together and organized. Tom

    Also no need to start a new thread! Tom

    It doesn't look like the pockets have been wet formed. Looks like the swivel knives are just forced into the pocket, stretching them out somewhat. You could assemble the kit, moisten the front of the pockets some (if the leather is vegtan), and push a swivel knife in (or a piece of doweling to shape the pocket. Tom

    Leather has been used for chair seats for ages, both as padded cushion type and stapled or nailed to an open frame. I'd go with decorative upholstery tacks along the outside of the bar. Sewing makes nice perforations so it can rip along the seam. Still can be done, but need something like 8 or fewer stitches per inch. Tom

    Since this is a world wide forum, it is a good idea to add your location to your profile. Then you can get answers that are more applicable to your area and country. There are several Australian members here that can help you. Tom

    4 oz covers a lot of area. Should be plenty if putting it on with a dauber. Tom

    Take my pattern above. Shorten the neck by about a quarter inch, and cut up the fold line from the bottom to about equal with the screw holes and you should have what you need. The loop was a little too long, so that is why you need to reduce the length of the neck a little. I'm tied up on other stuff, else would make a new pattern along with a photo example. Tom

    Check the linkage to the control arm first. Has it slipped or been been bent? Is the control arm seized up? Tom

    You have a couple people interested, See above posts. Tom

    Here is one option. The main part is folded rather than forming a Y. If you are using heavier weight leather like about 8 oz or so, gouge the inside to get a cleaner sharper fold. Light leather like 2-3 oz does not make a nice loop. Print the pattern, fold in half on the centre line and cut so you have a mirror image of the one side. This was traced from a trial run 8 oz leather, wet molded to form it. So some of it stretches a little, so the pattern is not symmetrical. You will have to adjust the cut between the top ears to fit, so give yourself a little extra leeway. Same for the size of the ears. Large Chicago screw or concho needs larger ears. You could experiment with main body so there is relatively no fold, and both edges would then look similar instead of one folded, and one not. Have fun Tom KeyFob2.pdf

    You should add your location to your profile so people in your general area can provide you better input about what is available near you. Tom

    Try this Google search "site:leatherworker.net europe clicker die" The following are just 2 of the hits the search found. site:leatherworker.net limits the search to this site. Faster and better search than the builtin search function. Tom
