Help!: How Do I Avoid/fix This Dying Issue?
benlilly1 replied to LloydtownLeather's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Here's why I think laying anything on top of it is the reason...if it's anything like woodworking, if you stain a piece of wood and lay another piece of wood crossways on top of it, it takes the shape of that top piece and it's darker where that piece laid. WHY I don't know -but this happens with wood. I guess because it's slowing down the dry time. -
Help!: How Do I Avoid/fix This Dying Issue?
benlilly1 replied to LloydtownLeather's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I've never ever had to use deglazer on any of my leather whether it was from Tandy or elsewhere. I think the marks are from laying the wood on the leather after the deglazing. I don't think there's any way to make it lighter and if you dye over it I'm sure it will be darker. Good Luck -
Cyberthrasher, I have no idea...this was on a ring...I exploded the image to see it better. I think there's eagles feet but everything else I had to guess on.

Sorry about the photo...I like taking outside shots but the weather doesn't permit today 1" neoprene, Fiebings Tan dye and 1/4" kangaroo lace.

Trying Something New
benlilly1 replied to aguilerag's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Doing something that small is hard even if you're experienced. Maybe it would look better if you just antiqued and not painted. It's a learning experience. -
GREAT!!

I can't use the rotary punch either. Hurts my hands and it doesn't want to punch through thicker leather. So I use the mallet and a single punch. I could do that all day! I haven't tried the drill press yet...probably a lot easier and more accurate.

I think you did GREAT! Lucky Duck! I can't ever find stuff like that.

A Lot!!

Welcome back Phil!

First of all, cool idea. ..Pete, yes what Aaron said about the money(bills) issue. Can you come up with a pattern that would accommodate holding paper money? I would be interested too if so. I use Paypal. It's so easy to use.

A Few Quick Coasters

Cool coasters! -
I had to google Tomaga. Interesting way of hunting. I never knew anyone ever hunted with eagles. The training must be intense.
-
WOW, that is something! And a lot of WORK! Curious how many hours it takes for a project like that. Excited for you. I'll be watching for the commercial!

I just use the tracing film...works best for me. Cheaper if you buy the roll.
