First and second shot at wallets...second one was made after watching Kevin King's tutorial...Thanks Kevin !!! Not as easy as i thought...lol...messed up the corners on the black one...came out bulkier then i was hoping...but still happy with the result...lol...Oppinions and critiques are more then welcome Thank you !

I ask my customers to measure the dog's neck in the smallest part of it...tight ! ...never the old collar !!! The thickness of the collar plays an important role in sizing too . A 1ply collar , 20in from buckle to the hole has a different inside circumference than a 2ply collar measured the same way . The right size of the collar is measured when the collar is buckled up...not flat out on the table. If you have standard designs and use the same leather weight most of the time you can make yourself few collars(in one ply , 2 ply ....) from 15in all the way up to 27in and used them as guide. A custom collar should not have more then 3 holes for adjustment, 3/4in apart. Sometime i ask for pics of the dog and its weight ...i can pretty much guess the neck size within 1 or 2in..lol... Hope it helps

Just make one and see how it holds up ! that's the best way probably to find out. Put the DEE ring at the end of the collar and the the buckle..this way you might eliminate the need of a belt keeper.If you make it , just post the picture here and let us know if it works... Good luck !

Nice work all together...edges, forming, stitching, finish, color. I just made one for my Kershaw and now i am looking to buy another knife just to make a sheath for it...lol.. Thanks for posting !!!

+1 on the 16in arm...i was ready to buy the CB3500 and i went for the 4500 in the last minute..i am happy i did !!! I drove all the way to Toledo as it was cheaper for me, then to have it shipped over.

Here it is

Just visited your web-site...love your work !!! I made a bracelet a while ago inspired by your style...Thanks !!!

I did skive it a bit...i really love those clasps..lol...

It left a mark already...but unless the knife is out of the sheath you can't see it.The leather i used is a bit thicker then it suposed to be, i guess, and the clip is pressing realy hard on it too...at least i know it's not gonna come out by itself...lol...

Had the knife for a while now and wanted for the longest time to make one of these formed sheats. With all the info from here and some YouTube clips this is what i came up with...way better then i was expecting....lol... Now i need some expert opinions...critiques are more then welcomed !!! Thanks !

I would sell both of them and get a walking foot ! no question about it...

lol...I said the same thing about my Boss when i got the CB4500 about 8-9 months ago and never touch it since. I am having a hard time selling the Boss...i guess it has a sentimental value for me...been together for about 8 years ....lol... If you are planing on working something on the spot at shows it might be worth keeping...otherwise you are not gonna miss it !!!

Cobra skin glued on an 8oz , 1/2in wide. Nothing special but it's got a nice visual impact. Any feedback is more then appreciated ! Thanks !

The foot came with the machine just the way you see it in the video. That's pretty much the only foot i am using...

Hope this helps... The stitching was done with a similar machine to yours,a Cowboy CB 4500, using the "reverse" feature. I came up with the vid. just because i thought it ws easier then explain the whole proces in writing/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o8_VeAH5fQ&edit=ev&feature=uenh

This is something new (somehow)..I put together ..pretty much same design but different hardware and set-up. This is a derivation of another design i came up with a while ago , i meant to make, but never had the time . Critiques are more then welcomed !!! I used the Cowboy CB4500 to stitch them..so far very happy with the machine ...love the reverse and the long arm ! Thank you !

If your patterns are under 12in/24in i can proabbaly have them done for you. Just pm me exactly what you want and will take it from there

The belts i think are worth more then $45, but because at shows people are looking for bargains, i think they are priced right..Both products are well made , so whoever apreciate the quality will pay the money in a heart beat . Good luck !!!

I would probably use a flat chisel for the long sides and a narrow craft blade (looks similar to a flat chisel) for the smaller sides of the rectangular

I am glad you noticed the unfinished edges and the off-set cut-outs...both were done on purpose..lol...i was going more for a "rugged look" then an "elegant" one...i thought it might add a bit of caracter to it. I do have few of Spinner's edgers...great little tools and great custumer service too !!! i am using them on my belts and i am very happy with the results Thanks !

I actually made these bracelet a while ago...just stumble over the picture again today and decided to post it here for some input. I 've made a collar in the past ...similar design..and i thought it would look cool as a bracelet too. The leather is 10oz veg-tan and the linning/inlay is a 2-3oz snake print. Te bracelet is 1.75in wide Stitching was done with #138 on a 111 type sewing machine Any comments are more then welcomed . Thank you

Very nice work !!! simple and clean .Nice work on the edges !!!

I had the Boss for over 8-9 years...very good machine ...very happy !!! I just bought the CB 4500...even happier !!! If i were you i would go straight for the CB 3500(or even the CB 4500) if the money is an issue. There is a saying..."I am too poor to buy cheap things". Although in my oppinion the Boss is a great machine , it has it's limitations .

Because the 2 plates are held together by screws, i can actually put a shim inbetween, make the slit wider and probably use thin rods too..i am gonna give it a try one of these days' Also i can probably have a leather sleeve that goes on the metal band, then slide it in the die and form the belt keeper.This way the top of it will be wraped in leather.I'll post some pics soon as i'll have one done

Any harness hardware shop would have them.If you can't find one near you just let me know
