  1. Bought a left/center smooth foot set few weeks ago for a 111 type machine. I had to drill a bigger hole in the left foot to make it fit. All good now
  2. Can you please post a more clear picture of the tension discs with the thread ran through?
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU0B965w62Q
  4. You need to back stiitch...just cutting the thread and burn the ends is not gonna work. The Jerk (hook)needle does the same stitch as a speedy stitcher or a sewing machine. There is no reason to use a jerk needle on knife sheats or holsters in my opinion
  5. glossy mod pudge, gum trag, and water...nothing beats it. Slick when almost dry
  6. On 2-3oz i usually use an air brush , especially if using an alcohol base dye as i am trying to limit as much as i can the amount of alcohol going into that piece of leather
  7. I can't find those European shoulders on Tandy's web-site , any chance you can post a link?
  8. It looks like Tandy's buckle looks extremely similar at $1.99...but than again , they are not made in the USA like the other suppliers' so i guess the quality is not the same
  9. Is this what you are locking for ? Neat Lac
  10. This one here is very similar
  11. Try the Tan Kote ...it is resin base , not acrylic . Apply it in light coats . It will allow you to apply conditioners down the road if need it
  12. If you are in the "neighborhood" you should drop by...it is worth it . The museum is inside of the store now, very clean and well organized . If you are into leather craving you'll love it ...it is a piece of leather history after all . I am not into carving but still found it interesting
  13. LOL...not a born and raised Canadian ...not a "hokey" guy either
  14. I like the nylon cutting boards but the marks left by the stitching irons tend to have raised edges. When you slide veg-tan on top of them they will leave marks . The puck still has a smooth surface after used .
  15. I just tried a hokey puck the other day . It is firm enough to give me a clean cut on the back of the lather but soft enough not to damage my stitching irons .
  16. MDF board works great.
  17. As of yesterday ,the Mississauga store still had few Tokonole left in stock.... a bit over $13 . It looks like it's gonna be a regular stock item
  18. Nothing that i would sale right now...sorry
  19. Try the Eco-Flo Waterstain Slate Gray. Make sure you shake the bottle , work it in with a sponge , let it dry , buff it and apply some Golden mink oil. It's not a dye but you might get the result you are looking for
  20. Try Bradshaw steel rule dies . They are in Cambridge ON.

    Buckles

    Extremely interested
  22. As far as i know there is no such thing as "oil tanned" . Oils are usually added after the tanning process and have nothing to do with the process itself . I am curious to hear other opinions
  23. Just got a bag of 6 of them yesterday from the Mississauga store
  24. Now that it warms up a bit , all those "water based" liquids should be back in stock
  25. They ship it through Purolator ... extra fees for flammables. You just have to place your order over the phone and they'll give you the details. The water base contact cement is probably the best next thing
