  2. I was surfing and ran across this site. It is loaded with good leather tips and tutorials. Just wanted to share it. https://sites.google.com/site/leatherlearn/Home and his archived pages... http://www.johan-pot...om/ll/?m=201112 So much info, days days of reading...... Charlie

  5. Thanks Glendon, I think I can find some HDPE. I'll give it a try. thanks again, Charlie
  6. I want to make a desk blotter but don't know what to put on the back of the leather to prevent it from curling on the corners and edges. Any ideas? Thanks, Charlie
  7. Really awesome work. Love it Charlie
  8. Great looking strap. Very well done. I like the lacing and tooling. Chief and Double C are a big help for us learners aren't they? Charlie
  9. I like them all. Nice work. Could you post pics of the knives too? Chalie
  10. That is so cool! Thanks for showing it. I'm fairly new at leather work so I have no idea what 2-shew technique is, but I like it. Charlie

    First Post

    Good work. I've gotta learn how to make a guitar strap one of these days. Nice seeing yours. Chalie
  12. A couple of real nice pouches. I really like the pliers one. Charlie
  13. Simply Awesome!! Lucky owner! Charlie
  14. I found a neat pattern at Leather Wranglers, a swivel knife holster by Kathy Flanagan. http://www.leatherwr...s.com/tips.html For some reason it really got my attention, so had to make one. Made four all told, since I have never carved before, and was using 2 oz. leather, and cut all the way through in places when beveling . Trial and error.... When I finished, I put deer skin on the back of one and some faux hide from Tandy on another, to give them some body, then made one from 6-7 oz. Been practicing antiquing and carving, so figured I'd try it. I haven't tried lacing yet, was going to sew them, but I like them this way. I'll have to try lacing one of these days... Nothing like Kathy Flanagan's work, but my Tandy swivel knives like them. Not proud of my work, just wanted to show a neat swivel knife holster pattern. Charlie
  15. Simply amazing! Great workmanship. Charlie
  16. Love the color. I can't get that color no matter what I try. Very good looking sheaths, nice and smooth. I just noticed why ... no contrasting colors on the edges. I really like them this way! Charlie
  17. Now that is cool! Love it.
  18. Wow! Smooth work, really like the top one. Nice and clean look to it. Love it. How do you get that color? I have been trying, but can't get my leather that color no matter what I do. And I really like that finish, not shiny. gotta learn how to do that. Charlie
  19. Nice! Must be great to work in front of nice windows like that. I have to use use lots of lights. Charlie
  20. Thanks for the post, I have been thinking about getting one from them, now I will for sure. Charlie
  21. Great sheath. I really like the style. Good lace work. Charlie
