    Maybe your bank, or another local bank has the same offering. They should be interested in selling you that series of check book. Tom

    American check sizes are standard (binding is on the top edge of the book). So you can measure your own, or a friends unless she is using something totally different. Tom

    Try working some neatsfoot oil into them, but not too much at once. Tom

    Very nice straps. Where do you get your buckles from? Tom

    When you are stamping letters, write it out first and maybe even check the dictionary. Then stamp it following a rule or lightly scribed line. When stamping an item for a customer, especially names with some of the strange spellings today, get the customer to print out the letters, or type up, or email, and keep a copy. Then a miss spelling is his mistake, not yours ... if you followed his script. Tom

    Photos would help members comment on how to solve the problem. Tom

    The little Tandy anvil is so useless, it can maybe be classed as a decoration. When you do go for an anvil, get something that is 15 to 20 lbs or more. Tom

    Try the search function in the upper right corner. Advanced search, the little gear will let you pick additional parameters like limit the date range. Couple minutes of various attempts with different words found http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=51891&hl=+looking%20+stitching%20+pony#entry331077. Tom

    +1 to everyone here at LW. Have a great Christmas and drive safely. Also take time to think about all those public service people that have to work through the holidays, those responsible for your safety and security, those that generate and supply electricity, gas distribution, etc. It's a long list of people that help keep us comfortable and safe.

    If you are talking about the watch strap or band pins, Jewellers, watch repair shops, jewellery/watch counter at Walmart or other stores. Tom

    Right click your mouse on the link, select "save link as" and save it on your computer. Depending on your settings, it may ask you for a location, else will save it to the default location, probably under "My Documents, Downloads" or something similar. Tom

    Tandy has a lacing book, in store or for download off their site. Kingsmere crafts has free pages. Tom

    I'm saving this for future reference. Thanks Tom

    Looks pretty great considering the problems it gave you. It is a learning experience sewing the first bag or purse on a machine. Tom

    Why start a new thread with the same question? Why not continue the original and ask any more clarifying questions? http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=52281&hl= Tom

    Look up hot foil stamping. Both here and using google. Still need a level surface to work with. Tom

    There are other threads on rust removal here. Try a search. There are a number of commercial products now for removing rust. Recommended instead of wire brush, etc. that remove or damage the original material. For antique stuff, usually want to avoid damaging the original surface as much as possible. Those are a number of dies used to cut those shapes. Use a mallet to drive the dies through the leather. The first one looks like it is for cutting short straps used to sew buckles to a case or heavier harness strap. Fold it over, insert the buckle and tang, stitch it down. Tom
