Ds Leather

Got someone to do this job.

Looking to have some prototype pieces cut before I order a die. Specs: 8oz leather (no preference in color, mixed colors is fine) Pieces are 4" from point to point Need 50 pieces I have an .ai avalible but it will need a bit of tweaking.

Adding these to ebay http://www.ebay.com/sch/padiscenza/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Mike516: Ok that makes way more since, having seen a terra cotton roof only a couple of times I don't think in that direction at all. I more being lazy than clever as I used the same background as I do for most of the armor. When my current work load lightens up I'll retake the picture on a solid navy blue backgroud, about a month on that. I tried to include most of the condition, measurements, and other important bits of info in the actual item description. Didn't want a mile long description in the selection screen plus the coding makes it easier to grab the correct die for shipment or to answer questions.

Sorry for the slow responses. Mike516: I'm not sure what you mean by 'roof'. If by chance you meant that the photos were taken from far away, I was attempting to get the entire die into the picture at one time. Reviewing them again my choice of background is terrible and I should reshoot them with a more netural color. 50 years leather: Alot of these I have no clue what the orginal maker had in mind for them. Figured someone out there might have a better idea than I.

Bump because I've added a couple more. Also got Celtic/Runic stamp sets in stock (29 sets as of the post 9/18)

Got a bunch of clicker dies at an auction. Got the ones I needed and would like to sell off the rest. Looking for $30 per die +shipping costs, unless othewise noted http://www.scrapworksarmory.com/store/c13/Clicker_Dies.html If you order more than $200 then coupon "RagRush'' will drop 15% off the order

Any chance of this machine being in the midwest? I have been looking for a heavy sewing machine as well.

Be careful with Texas Custom Dies. I had to send a number of my dies back because (4 of the 7 I ordered) of misplaced hole punches and over grinding of welds.

When I ordered my lamellar die from Texas Custom it was just over $100. The cost really depends on the complexity/size of the design and number of holes. You might be able to save a couple dollars by getting the outline made and punching/drill the holes yourself. What is the design you are going for?

8 sets left

Managed to pick up 9 new Runic punch sets from Tandy. These were discontinued in 2006 and have been difficult to find. The stamp runes are 3/4" tall and are in the Elder Futhark alphabet. I'm asking $75 per set. https://www.etsy.com...abet-stamp-set?

I've been making armor scale for a little bit and have a die to punch the basic shape out. Its great but it doesn't punch out the 4 holes I need for riveting. Is there a DIY jig out there or company that can make a product that will do this?

My first suit of scale armor with my punch. The leather is 8-9oz bridle leather and the rivets are antique nickel. It is secured at 6 point, 4 on the chest and 2 under the arm.
