Good info here. Thanks. Yawl mentioned removing the chrome with a torch. How exactly should that be done and is that the best way? I have some tools that I'd like to do that to. In Pete Gorrell's class a few weeks ago he taught us how to take some Craftools and modify then to work like much better tools but we didn't remove the chrome except where we were sanding and filing them. Thanks, Art

It's working Josh. Art

Beautiful. I love your tooling. Art

Nice work Josh. Your photos are also getting better each time! Like you said the next one is always better but this one is great. Art

What beautiful work. Very inspiring. I'm studying your tooling closely. Art

Welcome Sebastian! You'll like it here. Some members on here make beautiful armor. I look forward to seeing your work. Art

Here are two of mine. The green one is one I just bought from Bob Beard that is a conveyor belt I believe loaded with green rouge. The other one has two handles so I can use either hand and turn it either way. It has 1000 grit sandpaper on one side (needs to be replaced) and matting board on the other with green rouge (over the red I had on it before and removed). The Beard strop I use for my swivel knives. Art

How did you make the bottom clip Badger? Is there metal in there? Thanks, Art

A word we used to use in high school comes to mind - BOSS! Another work for really cool! Art

Beautiful - absolutely beautiful job! Art

I loved that show Dave. Art

Beautiful job! Really nice tooling and design. Art

I have a critique Bob - it's too dang good!!! Beautiful work. Art

This is interesting. Fred MacMurry did leather work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9r4Lh40fBg...feature=related

I found this browsing around the net. http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=panc...3&ct=title#

The phrase "Lucky Dog" comes to mind! Remember to pass it on. Enjoy your blessings. Art

Hey Tom. I learned the same lesson the first time I tried this. bevel the bottom edge of the wood. Looks good though. Art

The problem is that there are groves in the holes of a flaring tool. Art

Julia, If he doesn't want it I'll buy it! Art

Turned out great James! Art

On mine the Schwab LeatherCraft is obvious. My Logo is a combination of two things that I love and are important in my life. Most of all God and much lower on the list are horses. I drew this up years before I started leather work back when I started into horses. I dreamed of it being my ranch logo. I felt it said who I was. Art

Great job! Art

What kind of help are you looking for? It looks good! Art

I really like that Matt. I'm going to have to try it sometime. You've inspired me. Art

Beautiful Ed! No nut at the end (only the one handling the tools, LOL) I couldn't resist. I have the same question. What are you using for an end plate. Does the wood not get slippery when your hand sweats? (if it sweats) Art
