  1. Spectacular...love the geometric design!
  2. I've never dyed embossed leather but I would think dyeing the gray all over and spray on the black around the edges would work best. Good luck!

  11. Welcome! It will be interesting to see what you come up with for a designed piece. Post some photos when you get started.
  12. Very nice Chief, did you make your own interior? If you bought it where are you purchasing interiors? I'm having a hard time finding quality interiors. Thanks
  13. Bearman, looks very nice! Can you explain the differences you see between Angelus and Fiebings? I'm curious! And get them batteries changed so we can see the new design when it's done!
  14. Thanks guys! Being the first wallet I now know what I'm up against for the next one! A few things I'll change.
  15. First leather wallet for my son-in-law! I hope he likes it...he's an outdoorsman.
  16. Very nice website....I found 3 words spelled wrong. Ambassadors, mahogany, turquoise. Other than that looks great!
  17. Take your photo and upload to your computer. Size it if it's too big. Start a (new topic). When you're ready to post it there's a browse button at the bottom of your post. Click it and find your photo and it will put it in the browse area. Then click (attach this file). It's under the browse button. Wait for it to load up and you're ready to post!
  18. Ferg, I use the bleeding cowboy font and I like it. (www.buttskinz.com) I may change it in the future but for now I'm alright with it. It's a gut feeling and what's pleasing to you. Good luck on what you end up with.
  19. Whiteeugene, It may be that you put 2-3 coats of dye on it.. The metallic look you're talking about is dye that's dried. The solvent that carried the dye has evaporated leaving it as a powder on the surface. Be careful buffing it because it can be reactivated if it comes into contact with dampness...You might try diluting the dye and try it on a scrap piece. Good luck.
  20. Misfitchris, If I were you I'd start with a kit. You will learn all the steps and mechanics of making a wallet. Sometimes learning on your own doesn't pay off. You may spend more money in the long run too. Just my suggestion. Welcome to the forum!
