    Renee, I do tool before molding. Center lines are a great help. I need to update the website. It's been a while.

    It's a play on words...the bike fender design looks like axes so he wanted these words. I'll post a photo when it's finished.

    I will say this...if the leather isn't consistent in wetness there will be areas that are dryer and the effect of the tooling isn't consistent. That's why I wait for the bubbles to stop. Just my experience.

    I get the best results waiting for the bubbles to stop. It only takes a few seconds. I usually put it in the bag overnight. When I know I'm going to be ready to carve I get it out and let it sit in the open air until it's just right. I usually put the grain side down and check it often until I think the time is right.

    I don't envy you any! Sounds like this is the customer from you know what! Do you have the invoices from the transactions? I would not pay anything until you get a lawyer.

    I use a plastic zippered bag left over from purchasing a king sized bed cover. It works perfect for my project sizes. I just submerge my leather in warm water till it stops bubbling dry it off with a towel and insert it into the bag. I've never had a problem with mold and mine have stayed in the bag for days.

    Very innovative! I'll have to go see your web site.

    Hi Shadowryder, I saw the photos on Facebook. Lots of work and lace! Good job! I've yet to make my first saddle bag but, I'm getting closer!

    I have stumbled across a (lot) of Italian leather actually from a tannery in Italy. This leather was for major furniture factories in the Carolina's. These hides are full hides. She wants $100 a hide. Think it's a good deal? Would like some comments please! Thanks

    My guess is the holes would already be large enough... Couldn't you just thread up hand needles to finish in the exact same holes?

    Welcome, can't wait to see some photos of your work!
  21. benlilly1
    Good question Rooster...I see what you're saying. This may be unorthodox, but what if you stopped up to a point and raised the presser foot pulled out extra thread and hand sewed the finish?! Don't know how how convenient that is but it might work.
  22. benlilly1
    Both projects look GREAT!
  23. benlilly1
    Just beautiful work, Tommy!!
  24. benlilly1
    Very nice looking belt!
  25. benlilly1
    It would be a problem for me. I'd send it back!
