  1. Samar! You are truly FABULOUS! I would love to watch over your shoulder! :notworthy:
  2. When you wipe off the antique try not to wipe it out of the crevices. You may have used too much super sheen.(I don't let my antique sit. I immediately dry it off.) You could even go back and take a wet cloth and wipe off the excess on the completely black piece and see if it lightens. Tandy leather factory has a video you need to watch on antiquing. Tandy has several how-to videos.
  3. Awesome briefcase tutorial!
  4. They look great! I'm sure it was worth the wait!
  5. I've had some oiled leather laying around for a while so I made a seat using it. It has that worn used look. A pain to fit the top since it acts like a piece of rubber and wants to shift while lacing. The cure is to cut the top as small as possible so no buckles or movement.
  6. Very nice! And your first holster?
  7. My question is: How does anyone have enough leather dust to mix with the rubber cement? Or are you making the dust and how?
  8. Welcome back! Hope to see that 'little something in the works' when it's finished. Beautiful knife!
  9. I think if you get your stitching under control your product will improve. I can't tell if you've beveled any edges but doing that and burnishing the edges will also improve the look. Welcome to the forum Phillip!
  10. Mojo, I've seen worse... At least you finished it and learned for the next one. Good start!.
  11. You are too good at this animal stuff! Excellent work!!
  12. Whoa! They're going to love it! That looks like a lot of work!! Great job! Thanks for showing it!
  13. Very nice Jack! I'll check out the video!
  14. Real nice bag... I don't have any doubt your next one will be even better.
  15. I have pondered the same question... It just doesn't seem logical. From a woodworking point of view this would NEVER work. Maybe the only difference is that leather is absorbent and flexible and allows the finishes to work together.
  16. Nice creations! Glad you were busy!
  17. Wow! Great work!!
  18. He is going to LOVE that belt!!
  19. Big Red, Try Nitrile gloves. I use them and get them by the 100/box. You might want Large. They tend to run tight.
