  1. Looks like you need a drop down edge guide. It can ride on top your bottom layer with the bearing guide against the top layer. Allows fairly sharp turns. Tom
  2. You may have a mold problem in your house that is spreading spores. Wet cold walls, bathroom tub/shower area, basement, etc. get it checked out. Some molds are a serious health hazard. Your relative humidity at 72 F should be 50% or less. High humidity contributes to mold growth. You can use oxalic acid in place of lemon juice. Available at lumber, hardware, paint stores, or can be ordered through your pharmacy. There are other threads about mold and about oxalic acid here. Check them out. Tom
  3. Pretty nice! Welcome Tom
  4. The cold doesn't harm the neatsfoot oil or olive oil. Just warm it up a little and it is back to normal. Olive oil doesn't store well for extended periods at warm temperatures. Tends to go rancid. So for long term storage, good idea to keep it cool. Tom
  5. Maybe your bank, or another local bank has the same offering. They should be interested in selling you that series of check book. Tom
  6. Thanks, pass it along, Happy New Year to all. Have a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year. Tom
  7. 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
  8. Try working some neatsfoot oil into them, but not too much at once. Tom
  9. Very nice work, both sheath and knife. Tom
  10. Too nice to sit on! Tom
  11. Very nice straps. Where do you get your buckles from? Tom
  12. 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
  13. Photos would help members comment on how to solve the problem. Tom
  14. Welcome from another Calgarian. Enjoy your stay. Tom
  15. 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
  16. Cute. Nice job Tom
  17. 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
  18. +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. Tom
  19. If you are talking about the watch strap or band pins, Jewellers, watch repair shops, jewellery/watch counter at Walmart or other stores. Tom
  20. Very neat job. Tom
  21. Very neat job. Practice really does help improve the job doesn't it. Tom
  22. Very nice work. Shoes are way beyond what I can aspire to do. Tom
  23. 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
  24. Tandy has a lacing book, in store or for download off their site. Kingsmere crafts has free pages. Tom
  25. I'm saving this for future reference. Thanks Tom
