    I looked at Barry's site and his bevelers are numbered as opposed to an actual size so I'm not quite sure how the number relates to the actual opening.

    Has anyone ever seen a tear drop like stamp similar to an inverted H Stop?

    Thanks, I saw that but I'd have to call him, place the order and then get a U.S money order and mail it to him. It would less of an inconvenience to just order on line, use a card or PayPal ...and he'd likely get more business if he made it easier for people to purchase his tools.

    It doesn't appear that Ron is set up to buy from on line.

    I think you are on the right track here. It looks like they used a resist prior to dying.

    Any chance it may have froze, it is freezable.

Make an attempt to comply and you shouldn't have a problem. You can always go into the office to see what the exact requirements are but I don't think you have to list everything like rivets, they just want documentation that the goods are from where you say they were from.

    I haven't experienced that. Sometimes I'll get a brownish layer after sealing and I'll just paint over it and reseal. Spraying the sealer usually prevents the brown but it appeared on my last project after spray sealing.

    You will most likely have to seal the dyed leather and then paint over it . Another option would be buy your leather pre-dyed.

    You can put concho type initials on it with their initials.

    You can add a pig skin lining to the flesh side.

    It's very doable, I had this made in about an hour. An old mini chuck I had kicking around and never used will now get used.

    They are all very nice Tuân, good job!

    The last hide I bought was from Springfield Leather, Hermann Oak.

    I seem to have a problem with wet veg tanned leather but it's isolated to my hands. I always forget to wear the gloves. It's hard to imagine it would just start bothering you now but it could be. I don't buy leather or anything else from Tandy.

    Where is the rash, all over or just on your hands? Is it itchy, does it blister?
  17. Tree Reaper
    Welcome Quintans, your English is better than my Spanish.

    That's a mini screw dee, I have not seen them smaller than 3/4 but search purse or handbag hardware and you may find something similar. http://www.pacifictrimming.com/default/bag/screw-hanger-170139.html

    I use neatsfoot oil on just about everything I make out of leather. The finish will crack if it's too thick but if the leather is cracking then it could be too dry or too stale. I will also skive and wet on sharp bends.

    You buy the thinner and thin it to your liking.

    A piece of plastic conduit comes to mind with two end caps. Cut a narrow slot the length of the thread spool (or spools) in the middle for the thread and make a saddle for it to sit in or use U bolts. You can cut the pipe as long as you want to accommodate as many rolls as you want. You pull on the thread and it free spools inside the pipe.

    Have a look at what others have done and put your own spin on it. https://www.google.ca/search?q=images+for+custom+motorcycle+seats&client=firefox-a&hs=UNC&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=gWmsUrf6MOnlyQG6qIHABA&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=893&bih=491&dpr=0.9

    The beans are, it is a standard 14tpi on a diameter .600" which makes it a bastard size and not common. A standard 14 tpi is usually found on 7/16 hardware.

    Well I just got back from the shop and they did a perfect job of turning out a tool I can use to sharpen these Osborne cutters safely.
  25. Tree Reaper
    Well done Tanya.
