Stingray wouldn't have that potential on their own. Mixing magnetic cards together or using magnetic closures could have that affect.

Make the legs from large dowel.

I've had the same problem with acetate that is advertised as happy little windows for I.D. wallets. It doesn't work when stitched into place, I haven't tried it loose in the pocket.

If you can't locate any, another option would be to carve or purchase a leather stamp to make the impression on leather and then cement it over a plain concho.

Bobbin Tension Issues On Cowboy 3200
Tree Reaper replied to vikingusa1's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
If I knew what your thread tension was I could compare it to my 4500. -
Bobbin Tension Issues On Cowboy 3200
Tree Reaper replied to vikingusa1's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
If the machine is threaded properly, you have the correct needle and thread combination then tension could be an issue. Do you know what the top and bobbin tensions are, have you measured them, can you pull them easily by hand? Is there a take up spring on that machine? -
It works like super shene, you can't put too much on at once, wiping it on with a rag works good. It dries very quickly leaving a high gloss. Not quite sure about the hardness yet, too early to know.

Anyone Use A Workmate Instead Of A Stitching Pony?
Tree Reaper replied to leathervan's topic in Leather Tools
I use a stitching pony in the jaws of a workmate. I can easily store both. -
I wouldn't expect it to react with anything considering how it's advertised but it certainly warrants testing.

16-oz. PC-Petrifier Wood Hardener This might work for hardening leather. http://www.homedepot.com/p/PC-Products-16-oz-PC-Petrifier-Wood-Hardener-164440/100649629#product_description Pre-mixed and ready to use Can be sprayed or poured
-
Another option for you might be a decorative piece of leather with the swarovski crystals riveted to that and then stitched to the premade tack.
-
This might help explain it ... http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/Antique-Finishing.aspx

The hole in the tubular rivet is too small, the post won't go into it. Are these simply for decoration,are you using two or more layers of leather, can you rivet through the first layer and then stitch them together?
-
There's not much to it, cut the head off a chicago screw and cement your swarvoski into the hole where you cut the head off. If you want to send me the thickness of leather you're working with along with a swarvoski rivet and a chicago screw I'll make one and send it back to you but I don't think you'll have any trouble with it.
-
I don't use the swarvoski's but if the diameter of your rivet posts are 5/32"or smaller they will slip into the hole on the chicago screw. You won't use the cap, instead you will use the mating (male) threaded part of the chicago screw.
-
Diane; I don't think you'll find them but you can make them longer by cutting the cap off a chicago screw, use JB weld and cement the post inside the threaded tube which will give you a fair bit of adjustment. Kevin.

Fireman Axe Sheath Swivel.
Tree Reaper replied to Mudruck's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
This might work for you if it fits. http://store.aihalaska.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_1002_100271&products_id=33303&zenid=46787dacace4add9b5be11cad062a930 Take the rivets out of the leather and re-rivet it to a metal plate that you can encase in leather. -
It's much easier with a fleshing knife and fleshing beam, you might get some help from a local trapper.

How to make Grey Dye
Tree Reaper replied to tat2's topic in Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.
TARRAGO Dye is garbage, I tried the grey last year and then opted for grey embossed leather from Springfield which is also garbage, I'm constantly touching it up. If I wanted grey for another project I would try a penetrating wood stain. -
A plastic funnel should work, cut the stem off and mold over the inverted funnel. 1.5-2 oz. leather.
-
tree sap is for pancakes.
-
A clear epoxy resin mixed with your leather and poured into a plastic pipe lined with a release agent should accomplish that.

reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture You need to get rid of the oxygen or moisture or both. An air tight container with silica gel desiccant should do the trick, and you can always add a dehumidifier to the room. Buy a Hygrometer and monitor the humidity. Now that they are already rusty you should clean them really well and spray them lightly with something like Rust-Oleum. .

PM lightingaleshe's out that way.

That looks some some kind of battle axe. https://www.google.ca/search?q=images+for+head+knife&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb&gfe_rd=cr&ei=gC3BU6ndG9DKyAS9FQ
