I'm speechless

Ok guys, thanks for fastest replies. I was just curious....

HI all. I've got about 1 pound of beewax , the thing is, I use this cane of beewax for cleaning and feed wood tables, old fornitures, my shotguns (the wood part) , and so on... Now I was wondering is the beewax you use for leatherworking the usual beewax that people use even for wood. On the label of the cane beewax I have It reads" pure high quility of beewax with white spirit". Since I'm going to place a order about leatherworking tools, I would like to know if I can avoid to buy beewax or not. tnx in advance

Howdy, a thousand thanks, really really helpful... anybody else?

Howdy, I'd like to try out the Barbour 5, 6, and 7 ply cords to get an idea of what each is like before I buy an entire roll for $46.50.I thought maybe it might be more economical to try to buy a small amount from a member here, if that would be possible?. The thing is, I live in Italy and I have to pay around $25 for shipping plus another 25% when it arrives in Italy for taxes, duty and extra VAT for a grand total of about $85. Lots of bucks for just a whim, but I've read so many good things about Barbour linen thread that I decided to try it out. Of course I am willing to pay the shipping costs in addition to paying for the threads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Mr Johnson, Your explanation has been very helpful

howdy, I'm gonna buy some tools, a stitch groover and a crease. In your opinion, is it better to buy a adjustable or non adjustable version? Thanks in advance.

Howdy. This is something like a opinion poll I am wavering in between to buy a roll of #5 or #6 cord Barbour linen thread. I know that for sheaths #5 cord it's strong enough(35lb tensile strength) it's not that the problem, I am talking about the "look". Do you think for general use #6 cord is "too big/thick" (as look)? Do you guys notice LOTS of difference between barbour #5 or #6 cord ? I mean, can you say with just a glance that a sheath has been sewn with a 5# cord insted of #6 cord ? or the is it the difference barely noticeable?. Every answer will be VERY appreciated. Thanks in advance. PS. Maybe I will use just few yards of that thread, and since it's exepensive(and I CAN'T find just 10/20 yards) at least I want to be sure to buy the right size for me.

congratulation, Did you use your barbour linen size 6?

Absolutely agree with you mate:spoton: Ps How much did you pay for shipping?

Hi all. I am going to buy some needles(Harness Neddle Blunt Pointed) I think "John James ". But I can't work out the differnce for istance: "N° 1 VS N° 1/0 , 2 VS 2/0 and so on... Could anyone please explain to me the difference? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone Is there anyone who can tell me what kind of thread is in the pictures below? I got that spool about 15 years ago from a friend of mine---someone left it in his shop. The only thing I can say is that the thread in the picture is very strong, waxed and flat Do you think ti's linen? Or synthetic? I would like to compare it to Barbour linen thread (I have to buy a roll but I'm not sure about the size). If it were Barbour what size would it be? Thanks in advance http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo1.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo2.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo3.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo4.JPG the yellow thread it's the origial one(left from the cartridge) pic n4 http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo5.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo6.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo7.JPG http://daxsus.interfree.it/filo8.JPG

Hi again:rolleyes: Maybe I found something even in Italy. Could you Guys please tell me for sure if the barbour thread in the picture it's exactly the same linen thread you use/are talking about? tnx in advance. ps. tnx steadybrook, but how can you well see my English it's poorly and it's a problem for me talk by phone...

Thanks guys. Mhhhhhhh that site seems to sell just to trades:unsure: They sell 1lb I am looking for 50gm or something small... The problem is that thread it's very exepensive ($46.65)and I should see the difference (since I am new in leatherworking) among 18/3 18/4 18/5 18/7. Thanks anyway.

Hi all. Does anybody know where I can buy online ""LINEN THREAD BARBOUR 50 GMS LINEN THREAD 18/4 BROWN" ? From what I've read in this forum about threads"Barbour" seems to be the BEST brand. Do you you know any others brand as good as Barbour? thanks in advance. PS You guys have a great forum. I've spent the last few days reading and LEARNING lots of stuff here... I've almost complete the list of tools I need:winkiss: Thanks again. <h1 class="vi-is1-titleH1"></h1>
