Thank Ya'll............and Ray It is your Birthday too Have a good one.

RAY hope you have a wonderful day and "dont spend all of it in the Pub. remember....."wine women mirth and laughter sermon and sodawater the day after"

IN MEMPHIS TODAY I DID WATCH THE GAS PRICES AND I SAW THE PRICE OF REG GAS GO FROM $3.45 TO 4.09. AT A STATION CLOSE TO MY HOUSE.

RAY IS THAT AWFUL STAIN ON THE CUTTING MAT FROM YOUR TRIAL & TRIBULATIONS TODAY? MAN THAT IS A MESS FROM WHAT I SEE OF THE ANTIQUE IT IS PETROLEUM BASE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU GOT SOME FINE ADVICE AS TO "WHAT NOT TO DO THE NEXT TIME & WHAT TO DO". ME, PERSONALY I DO NOT USE A LOT OF ANTIQUE, THE TIMES I USE IT IS ON THE BASKET WEAVE DESIGN AND TO OUTLINE LETTERING.SOME TIMES I WILL" SPRAY DYE"A BELT AND WIPE THE ANTIQUE ON THE BELT AND THEN WIPE OFF. THIS GIVES ME THE"ANTIQUE " THAT I AM LOOKING FOR.

RAY CAN YOU POST A PHOTO OF WHAT YOU DID. THIS IS MY WHITE ANTIQUE FOR OUTLINING LETTERS.

Dave , that is one FINE looking sheath.......the knife is good looking also. you do great work.

I had to have a third hand to help with the wrestling belts, it helped me by about 3 hours.

DOUG......SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE 29K TO GET IT SEWING ?

3 X's the price of the Tandy Kit will get up and going.

STEVE, "Infinity Stamps", would be a place to start, dont know the prices, i do know they are not cheap,

this has workrd for me. heat the SS with a torch, red hot then use a punch to make the hole'

Brett. use the contac cement that tandy sells or use Masters Cement. contac esantoro here on the fourm to see if he still has some of his edge coat. i do like it. It is thicker than the Fiebings.

DON.... AS ALWAYS, one fine looking Old West Rig.

LOOKS GOOD .IF HE HAS THE $$$$ $75.00 WOULD BE A FAIR PRICE. IF TOOLINGG WAS WANTED THEN ... MIN OF $25.00

Jarl, you have the pattern, why not do an inverted carving,

Jordan, you have came a long way, keep up the Great work. We called them "Jesus Boots" a long time ago. your stiching looks great.

ELTON , THE CHAPS ARE GREAT.............. what type of sewing machine are you useing.? Thanks

Barra, good bit of information, thanks for sharing..... one of my favorite movies is "THE LIGHTHORSEMEN" THEM WAS SOME KINDA BLOKS !

thanks to all i did get the Consew Sewing machine. It is in gteat shape and it will enable me to sew on med to lt weight leather.

Ray that is a fine looking Strap...... ps................two of your shelves holding all thoes books are bending....

RAY........ YOU TAKE FIRST PLACE ........TOMORROW YOU CAN DO A CLEAN UP..... BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING ELSE........ i have to....

I THINK IT IS GREAT..........YOU DID WELL... the swivel knife work is "thinking out of the box" what thickness of leather did you use to make the case ?

serena..........look on pg2 of Historical Renactiments, about 1/2 way down the pg. hope this helps
