Wicket And Craig Leather
benlilly1 replied to Abram's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I've always assumed the split is thrown out because what can you do with it?...Does anyone else know the answer? I can't see there being much left to use. -

Wow, Laphroaig! That's a big list of tools! I don't have 1/2 of what you're looking at buying .I think you might just need to start with the basics There will always be something later on you'll find you could use. That's a cool idea making the wristbands for you watches though. Good luck on finding a supplier!

N00B Question About Identifying Leather
benlilly1 replied to Rodw's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
It doesn't look like veg-tan to me either. It looks like some oiled leather like I have. I guess the real question is.... will it hold the stamping impression? -
You must have forgotten to attach your photo.

As far as Ebay and Paypal screwing you...do you mean the charges for selling and using their system? If I've ever had a problem Ebay and Paypal have ALWAYS fixed it for me. I haven't had trouble with them. If we didn't use Ebay my husbands business would be 3/4 of what it is. I think the charges are cheap for getting it in the face of millions! It has also increased his hits and sales on his website. I feel safe with both Ebay and Paypal. Just my opinion.

The guy I got it from used it on leather. I tried it on 3 oz. leather and it works. I'm sure on thicker stuff it would be a problem. I just thought it was cool how it works.

Another Handmade Wallet
benlilly1 replied to reddevil76's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Another fine wallet! Can you explain the difference between bridle leather and veg? I suppose I should know this by now. -
Wow, those are spiffy looking!! Nice work!

If you don't have any guilds or Tandy close by what about befriending an upholstery shop. They have heavy duty machines and could show you attachments and use. Just a thought. Other than that as said in other posts YouTube videos could be of assistance.
