  1. But where did you get that aluminum track, and what did you cut the poly with??? Be specific as possible, hell, make a video and explain the blade holder too
  2. I have a Cobra 2915 patch stitcher that I use, I made a table top to use so I can still use it to do pockets and sleeves . The table was constructed to take the weight off the working area that I'm working on. post pic later
  3. I have one, only played with it a few times, it did fine after a few passes. It will do a faster job than a hand held skiver
  4. The question I have is does this method get milky when moisture gets in it (like a wallet being stored in a pocket) or does it remain the same???? And how long does the mixture last???
  5. Hi guys, it's been awhile since I commented. We all know that in this day and age we have words that are "installed" in to marketing that give advertising to give the feel of "genuine" (opposite of honest) to fool the masses into believing it is a quality item! Like when news reporters comment that Trudeau or camala are genuine candidates (meaning low end or trashy) some will believe they can trust that installed politician and they will not question the motives When you hear the term "Vegan Leather" the smarter folks will know it's plastic table cloth material or some type of highly processed lawn clippings. If you purchase a Walmart belt and you have a small waist that belt is designed to last a specific length of time (like 12 weeks). If your belt has to work harder its life is considerably shorter (6 weeks if you're lucky) and those Walmart belts cost about $12. Buying a real leather (not genuine) is penny wise (not the clown) dollar smart. Most folks don't understand that "genuine" is the bottom of the barrel or (for a term we can all understand) garbage! And for our guys that make belts or straps, any type of layering makes things stronger (like plywood) and more efficient. Sandwiching a length of genuine leather between two top grain lengths will definitely make it last longer. and when punching holes in belts try using an oval shape instead of a round one. The buckle tongue will lie down better and not poke straight out. And remember all globalist make genuine politicians!!!
  6. I use a dermal and then a burnisher I got from the leather tool maker
  7. I used heavy art stock purchased at Hobby Lobby. I used the almost 2 to 1 rule. I drew a straight line up and down. Then I drew a line at 35 degrees, then I measured for the opposite side with a ruler and mirrored it. If I had the heat I'd make a "how to" video
  8. The only thing I need to know is how do ya get the cris cross pattern, what angle is used to make the diamond shape?????
  9. Just stay away from cheap Chinese crap, you get what you pay for!!!!

    Tote Bag

    Your daughter can fit in that bag! How much leather did it take to make that bag?
  11. How do I get this on my laptop?????
  12. I don't know what grade you order but from where I'm sitting it looks like number two possibly a number three, I had a problem with Tandy where they sent me a side of Leather, but the hole in it was big enough for two large men to fit through Drew was manager at that time. We all have to go through it. When you get a chance, just give him a call on the phone. Tell em what you got.
