ACarver

very solid construction

Long time not posting.... this is a knife sheath with stamping and hand stitch using tiger thread 0.8mm... any C&C are welcome.

thanks all for your response, I really appreciate all feedback. I'm using new ORGAN 7x4NW(Yx3LL) that been provided with my cobra 4. I have no issue like this before with same combination. its was stitching nicely. I tried to use #23 and I got stair look stitches which I don't like in long harness straps. you can see in the attached photo an old harness strap I stitched with #24 and #207. thanks again all.

I have cobra 4 and I have sewing lot of horse harness nicely. but now the thread is not in the center of holes, its been pulled to the right?!!!any advice is appreciated, noted that I have not changed thread size or the needle size, I use #24 with bounded nylon #207.

I only get my leather from them, and IMHO they are the best I live in far east,and they never late to deliver the hides and they always send me the best without choosing the hides by my self.

I jut get a new juki du 1181n, can anyone recommend me a servo motor instead of clutch motor that comes with? Also, what is the biggest needle and thread size can it takes? Thanks in advance...

Nice work.. But what is Quran?

3-4 oz and no need for lining, only tan kot and buffing

i did one with two layers of 5-6oz and lining of 2-3oz. i use stiffener I get from tandy store

I do all my collars using 9oz harness leather with 3-4oz veg tan for decoration....

I made dog collars from english bridle or harness and I lines them with 3-4oz latigo.

I did one before using butt joint...but it needs practice... you can refer to Al Stohlman book the Art of Hand sewing

when I did miter joint I stab my awl into beeswax first, it helps reduce the friction... also make sure you have sharp awl. here is a picture of miter joint

i'm using this monster, it OLFA

I have achived this color in one of my gun belts... its black+saddle tan

I like your style,, reminds me of Bukhara style.... its mixed with islamic ornamnets

finally we can inspired by BoB even we are overseas..... I need a copy now

nice work.... I really like your carving, amazing job

thanks guys, I think I'm going to get a 441 clone....

I'm planning to move to sewing machine world after around 6 years of hand sewing all kinds of horse tacks.... because of limited brands in my country there is only one option available, is the JUKI, its the only local brand I can get here... the money is not an issue at all. my only concern that, as I read that this machine (TSC 441) is not prepared to sew thick leather because you have to change and adjust alot of things... so now I'm not sure any more, do I have to buy 441 clone from US, or is it OK to go with JUKI?

nice and clean leather, would you mind sharing the type and zise of that leather?

I've been asked to make horse hobbles and leg restrains straps and other other stuff that will be used for wild horses breaking.. these straps will be abused alot.. so which type will be better, do I use harness for its less stretching, or latigo for its soft feel yet stretchy or the english bridle leather... any advice will be appreciated... the tacks will be hobbles, training roller, leg straps,....etc.

there are lot of fonts.... I can post photo of arabic caligraphy that I did in leather, before I start learning sheridan...

really nice.... I like how you tool the arabic font...very nice... I think if you choose another arabic font will give it more touch... just a suggestion...

I got new 6/7oz HermanOak tooling leather that supposed to be A grade... when I case the leather for tooling, small mold spots start to show in both sides.. I did cased and tooled alot of pieces the same way and I have not notice any mold... this is my first time using HO leather, is this leather must be treated differently????? thanks
