Trevor... what is a Basketweave machine

Grumpy, good luck on doing that. It did not work for me.. What did work for me was deciding what type of leather work i want to do.Went to the Tandy store, bought the kits, bought books and started to work. When i ran into problems ,there were two saddlemakers that i could ask questions, they would answer. And i will always be greatful to those men. All of this was back in the 60's. there were a lot of leather shops around, but like AZMAL SAID THOSE WOULD NOT SHARE. so, decide what you want to make, ask questions, The folks that you are talking to will see that you are instered in doing leather work and will SHARE WITH YOU. I f some one approaches me at a pre 1840 event, where i am doing a living history event and wants to watch me work that is fine, But when he or she ask me how i do a certain thing then i know they might be instered in that type of leather work and i will share with them.. TAKE ON AN APPRENTICE.....NO. ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS FORM A VERY INSTERED PERSON...YES.

ok lets try it again.. I have , Windows 2000 professional.

Getdown, i have been busy.. Check these folks out.. Midwest Knifemakers Supply.. they have it. "it aint cheap, but it is good"

Howdy & Welcome, GETDOWN. I think what you are wanting will be "BARBOURS PURE FLAX" it can or use to be found at a supplier of shoe findings and supplies. Here in Memphis it would be Southern Leather Co. ask one of the Shoe Repair men in your neck of the woods. P S the reg linen thread is not very strong.

that is the insurance of the "AMERICAN WAY" take your money..... good bye and dont let the door bump you on the way out. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE TO HAVE. whether, home automobile or business....

I really like the color....would you share with us ?

HEY THERE, IF YOU HAVE WALL SPACE , I USE PEG BOARD WITH THE HANGERS TO PUT MY TOOLS ON. I LIKE TO KEEP THEM IN SITE.

JOHANNA IS RIGHT ON IT.. BUT NOT TOO MUCH WATER, I USE A SPRAY BOTTLE AND JUST GET THE FRINGE DAMP.

and i see by your outfit "a real BUCKAROO"

it is an engraved brass plate that is mounted on the items.

What type of leather are you useing and what finish did you put on it. what sewing machine do you use?

Lee Jr. the Super Glue willl glue the cut together But you will have the SCAR.... Is the skirt a color that some Antiquing could be applied? just a thought.

NO IT WONT WORK....... But what will work, if the cut is not very long is SUPER GLUE... :beer:

hello there and welcome to the Leatherworker.net. and you have a" HAPPY 4TH OF JULY". SORRY... i could not resist that....

Thanks anyway... I just came back from an Arts & Craft store Sharpie makes a permanent marker.

DON WOULD THOSE MARKERS BEEN BOUGHT IN GERMANY ?If i tried to find a marker like those in the States surley all permanent markers would be the same .

STRAP CUTTER....i KNOW THE FEELING ABOUT UN EVEN STRAPS.. EITHER ONE OF THOES STRAP CUTTERS WILL CUT UNEVEN. " IF YOU ARENT USING A VERY SHARP BLADE. WHY NOT CUT A HEAVY DUTY TEMPLATE OF THE GUSSETT, LAY IT ON THE LEATHER THEN CUT. THIS WORKS FOR ME.

howdy pard. No i do not live in that area, I am on the bank of the mighty Mississippi River, Memphis Tn.

Yes the embossing wheel is what i am refering to. I was told it could have been used in the Book Binding Business.The part of the world that you are in would be a place for these tools to be found. How would you have liked to have spent some time on the "101 Ranch" My ailas In SASS is Cactus Luke...(#26182)
