Do not use Phoenix Leather Supply!! It’s run by a guy in Massachusetts that can’t split or sell certain types of leather. Rude to customers!
-
I know a guy that could use those

You Brits can make your own rifles, but build it on the “catch me screw me plan”! Some air rifles are pretty powerful

30 seconds of my life wasted on reading

I need a two inch by three quarter(ish), acoustic guitar stamp made preferably metal or composite with fair detail made without me having to sell drugs or stolen cars to afford it

Grit then follow it with 100, and 260. But don’t dig if you can avoid it. Then do your burnishing thing. But don’t rush it, don’t over think it

Get a better way to sand your edges so it’s a more fluid sweep then put your thread grove in. I purchased cordless Dremel and various sanding drum sizes (not all at once, it was a slow money thing) get 80

Build a better trigger support so it’s less of a basket and provides better hold, kinda like in the picture below but you get the idea, the white cutout is for a rough rider 22 pistol, just make a shelf to fit you derringer trigger guard
-
Make a cut out for better trigger access

Niiiiiiiice - I’m stealing that idea

It’s way cool, h as ve ya figured out how to make one for a motorcycle yet???

I can justify the need for a cowboy 4500, they see 7/8 of an inch of leather, they are reliable and if you buy a machine make sure you won’t grow out if it. The outlaw to me is impractical, I need both hands to sew and a motorized machine is great! They say buy once cry once

Make a comment, submit it. You should see it then

I’m here in North Carolina and when you enter an archery shop all they have available aRe either the recurve bows or the compound bow. It’s been ages since I’ve seen any type of long bow. The picture that sheilajeanne presented kinda resembles the glove I used 50 years ago. The last bow I had required sights and a trigger that wrapped around the wrist. And I would never use my fat Barney Rubble fingers to stitch a glove, how would ya sew inside the fingers

I didn’t purchase Zee Bee products, it was some guy on Etsy and he was mad because I reported that the jigs weren’t square, his reply was “That Little bit off won’t even show!” He should of offered to send a different set, the set I have is off by enough to see, stay away from Etsy, you will save money -

I paid like $38 and they are not square, spend the money for a good set, and slowly get the accessories but watch the vids and see what you can get without pawning off your first born -
I’m in the USA, and I own a half decent printer that I mainly use to print music tabs or documents that need to be physical. 9 times out of ten I’m trying to print a pattern that calls for A2, and that is so far from the sizing that is called for it’s not worth the time to save it in a folder - WHAT AM I MISSING?? Please explain it to me like I’m 5

I have been with “Leather Worker”for quite some time now. How is it some of y’all get the oddest hard to find, rare to hear of skins???? And what kind of mind turns a turtle or a stingray hide into a useful article?? I’m out here barely able to think of the choirs that need to be done and some of ya are getting snapper skins or roo hides, I just gotta asks how does one find these? that turtle hide would make a great inlay for a holster or a sheath, but don’t use it as an article of clothing (belt buckle or wrist band). Because of its uniqueness make it an item that will last about a century or more

It looks like overies

Sooooooooo, the question was ??????? lol

See! That’s the kinda shhtuff that makes me not get my work done! Now I gotta make some cause of the “cool factor”

The Hawaiians have a mythological creature that goes inline with the Gremlins and Trolls, they are called Menehune‘s. I was talking with a guy about it and asked if he has ever seen one, of course he said “no!” Then I asked him how he knew they existed? He said “did you lift up the bark on a fallen tree and see the etchings?” I replied “we all have!” He came quickly with “who do you think put them there?” I was thinking of making a loin cloth/tool belt and sending it fo him. But I have no idea big a Menehune is!

I purchased one made here in USA by a couple of guys that do it in their spare time, I found their advertisement on Instagram

I was looking for one of those pistols but got a derringer instead, great work

Nice job, I gotta love an attractive set of twins
