  1. Looks great! A lot of work!
  2. Thanks Bob, yes larger pieces of leather. Just like you've suggested, I finally found a few threads here on the subject. Also a smooth piece of walnut is suggested. I agree it's not going to be easy to keep it consistent. A plate's a good idea.
  3. Yep, my Tandy white glue smells like something died. Time for a new bottle!
  4. That's beautiful!!
  5. Hunio, What type of leather are you using? All your leather looks great. Is it veg-tan or not? Thanks
  6. Hi Lavendara, You could start off with a few stamps and get a swivel knife and at least a couple bevelers. You'll use them a lot! I use my B701 most of the time. You can make lots of designs with a few veiners too. Good Luck!
  7. Les No6, thanks for the video. I learned something. Engtrk, I bet it will tool. Just might look slightly different.
  8. What are the best methods of burnishing a flat piece of leather? Moisture content? What to burnish with? To get that worn look.
  9. Raised letter with raised corners and carved design. It's in a shadowbox type frame so you'll see dimension. Now it's dye time...what to use? Any suggestions? I cringe when I think of colors so it might get earth tones. Just not sure because when it's dyed, it's final!!
  10. Wow, that ought to last her forever! Nice work!
  11. Something smells fishy in here...
  12. You cleaned up with the blue ribbons, Aaron! Congrats!
  13. Katsass hasn't been on the forum's since July 5th.
  14. Most conditioners/waxes won't last forever. There are several out on the market that will work. I use Leather Balm. It's easy to use and shines up well. Recently I've used pure lanolin for testing some techniques. It sure repels well. For ease of use Leather Balm is my choice.
  15. Hey, if it works and you finished it, that's half the battle. You'll get better the more you make.
  16. It looks fantastic! And it does look aged. You did good! He'll love it!
  17. I can not wait to see this!!!
  18. Wow, wow, wow!!!
  19. I'm learning stitching is not my friend either!!
  20. They did turn out nice! Really like the flask!
  21. You're making me want to see the rest!! I know it will be a cool bag!
