Doc Reaper started following Angelus 4-Coat with airbrush, New Skiver. Is it any good?, Elmers / white glue mix for edge treatment? and and 1 other

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

Lets have a look at a "Genuine Leather" belt???
Doc Reaper replied to kgg's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
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!!! -

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

"Grade A" HO 8/9 from Springfield looks terrible
Doc Reaper replied to palehorse's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
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. -

I made a set of large saddle bags using that method. Gotta be careful with the weight going in it
