Is the Edge Kote that they sell more then just a dye? Does it also have something in it to slick or coat the edge? I was thinking of trying a small bottle. Thanks, Art

I agree with Todd that is awesome! Art

Hey William, are those period sun glasses? LOL The outfit looks good! Art

Great job Rob. How long does it take to make one like the last two photos? Art

My prayers are with you all. Art

Ask the saddle maker if he'll teach you for a fee. Art

I like it Tac. That's a kick ass gun. Art

Butch, I'm not a 'saddle maker' but I've made a saddle and working on another one. If I live long enough and get busy making them and learning more then maybe - just maybe, I can call myself one before I die. I learned from a true saddle maker that has been doing it all his life - so far. I don't think any book can beat that. It is good to have a book or two for reference. I think that you will need that when you're sitting in your shop by yourself making one. My favorite two are the Stohlman Encyclopedia set and the 'Saddlemaker's Shop Manual' by Harry G. Adams Jr. Art

Excellent Josh! A really beautiful and professional job! Art

I find myself coming back just to admire your work, especially the knife work on the inside. Art

Wrong link. Art

Man you do beautiful work! Art

I love the old tools too! I inherited them from my dad. This buffer I got when a friend was moving and was going to throw it away. The scrounger that I am I took it home and it worked great! At the time I wasn't doing leather work. Art

Thanks folks! Art

Looks cool. I really like it. Art

Doesn't the presser foot push down the stitch as if you did a stitch grove? Art

Thanks Bree! I bought the flatbed add-on when I bought the machine. Do I still need another needle plate? Do I need another presser foot? I have the manual for the White Model 805. Just practicing now. Thanks, Art

I have an old White sewing machine of my mom's. I'm trying to learn to use it and see if it will sew thin leather. Art

Thank you for the lesson!!!! I love this site! Art

While we're talking about the 3000 how thin of leather can it sew? I haven't seen that in my manual. I want to try making a leather vest and was wondering if I need to use another machine for that. Thanks, Art

Really looks good!!! Amazing to think this is your first one. I'm watching! I want to make one someday for myself. Art

I was taught to glue all of it with white glue. It holds up well. Art

Tom you're a feather weight! LOL. Great job. I've been wanting to try one too. Art

Beautiful work Emma. I'm glad to have you here! Art

Beautiful job! Art
