This is a great idea Dwight. I'm sure that there are many here that appreciate this idea.

A google search will get you dozens of comments and threads about belt sizing. Try this without the quotation marks. "site:leatherworker.net belt size" "site:leatherworker.net" is a parameter that limits the search to the site - leatherworker.net Add what ever parameters you are searching for following. Google has huge search engines and databases that have indexed more words and terms than the search function in LW does, and is much faster. One of the first items that it brings up is about standardized belt lengths. So I thought rather than rehash all the previous comments, you could start with the existing experience and knowledge here.

Top 3 photos are clicker dies for cutting soles. Clicker dies are normally used with an hydraulic press.

Read through this thread for some assistance. The last post has a bulk resizing program you might be interested in. Pictures in general do not need to be larger than 1024x768 pixels to have adequate resolution. Even 800x600 is good enough for many. Also it is a favour to people on the edge of the internet to keep file sizes down so downloads don't take hours. One of your prime buyers might be someone with limited bandwidth so be good to them.

Is your shipping USA only or worldwide?

Perhaps you would like to check through this thread for help. Also post jpg or png files that most everyone can download and view.

Many natural dyes require a mordant to fix them and make them permanent. That is where I would start my search. Somewhere on LW, there are a thread or 2 that deal with natural dyes. Search for it. Try a google search "site:leatherworker.net natural dye" without the quotes and see what you find.

I wish there was a like button! Consider this liked!

Thanks! Would you like to add this to the thread "How to post pictures on LW"? Nice to have others comments instead of mine now and then.

Was originally in an imperial gallon glass jug for about 40 years before I got it. So must be over 60 years old. Belonged to an old farmer that used it to oil his harness (if he ever got around to it, harness was in really bad repair). My brother picked it up, there was a crack in the jug so he transferred it to a plastic jug. Must be close to 2 L left. And no, I don't use a lot. Main use has been to oil some harness I have on display, plus the one I had on display before that. Don't use much on small items from time to time.

Please, please, please do not post third party host links. Post your photos on Leatherworker.net. If the photo is deleted from the hosting site, then you are left with a broken link. If someone closes, or re-organizes their hosting site, all the photos will be gone from leatherworker.net. Some of the posts/threads become useless as there is no longer any illustrations in the post. It is far better to re-size your photos to fit, so they will stay with your post and complement the text. You can find lots of help if you spend a little time reading through this thread There are lots of suggestions about how to re-size your photos with various software, some web based apps and some downloadable programs, several to choose from. Chances your photos on your website are already reduced in size enough to fit. Download and save them to your computer or device, keep track of where they are, and drag them into the rectangle in the post you are making that is labelled "Drag files here to attach". I'm sure you likely have a friend or family member that would be happy to help you. Give them the opportunity to serve you. Might even be the kid from next door that would like to help, and get to know you.

I have a jug of NFO that is over 50 years old. It sat in a shed in temperatures ranging from -40 to 35C. It is still just fine. I don't know the original source. It has and amber colour to it. So I would say, if it really is NFO, freezing won't hurt it. Also note that it comes from the lower part of cows legs, subject to really cold conditions depending on where the cow ranges. That part of the leg if I remember right doesn't have much if any blood circulation and the oils/fats are a result of years of natural adaptation.

Mike forwarded some info to me. This clicker is listed on https://www.ebay.com/str/tooltimes2?_bkw=herman+schwabe&LH_BIN=1 The clicker appears to be located in Oregon, Ohio, asking price is $4400 or best offer. Quoting Mike "No matter what I try to type that darned movie keeps coming up. The place is called Tooltimes2 on eBay and searching their store comes up with the press." Thank you Mike

@MikeRock Please provide location and the price for the clicker as per the requirements for posting in the marketplace. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

I decided to see if I could find anything that might help and tried this search https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&tbm=vid&q=one+eared+bridle+pattern+video&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjppcnu2evtAhX0DDQIHcRyCVsQ8ccDKAR6BAgOEBY&biw=1100&bih=656&dpr=2.22 Found a link that might be of a little help. Some of the other links may have something too. There is a link to a Tandy video, but not for one eared bridle. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/33101-one-ear-headstall/

Are they checkered? If so it will take some more practice to get used to them sticking in the impression.
