  1. Sorry I can't help as I am just learning about wallets myself but this is the link to Kevin's youtube channel. I think the video you are looking for is on there. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfj9j712Vmlb_mXIlRHYUZw
  2. Any of the things mentioned above can cause these issues. Also, what are you using as a base for your stamping? If it is not firm enough, like a slab of granite or if your table has too much bounce, you will not get good impressions.
  3. This is very nice. I think that some of the"bulging up" that you don't like will disappear when the bag is loaded with all the essentials of life :-)
  4. The edges of the triangle are 3 5/8 inches. That gave me one that is 3 inches deep, with the leather I used. But you can make it any size that you want.
  5. I am by no means an expert on any of this, but it appears to me that the smaller letters are probably laser cut, as there appears to be some burn marks on the unfinished one.
  6. Eric, thanks so much for your feedback.
  7. I am working with mostly lighter weight and medium weight leathers. I am never going to be making holsters or that type of really heavy leather items. Would a Singer 153W100 be a good machine for me to purchase? Thanks
  8. Tandy says that it is a blend of natural and synthetic wax emulsions, with beeswax added. It is creamy in consistency.
  9. I really love how crisp and clean your tooling looks. I look forward to your posts. Thanks for sharing. Can I ask what leather you are using? It appears much lighter in colour than most.
  10. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank God that both you and your hubby are safe and that he was able to save your furbabies too.
  11. These are gorgeous. The patience this must have taken. My head aches just thinking about following all those over and unders of the celtic knots.
  12. Thanks Monkiller. Craftsman, thanks, I will try your suggestion. I think I can get it to stretch some, but I'm not sure how to handle the grippyness of the pigskin lining. Maybe it won't be an issue if I get it stretched out enough.
  13. These are my attempts at a leather cell phone case. The stamped one doesn't look too bad but I made the mistake of lining it with pigskin to protect the phone from the metal clip and that made the case a little too small and it is kinda grippy so it is hard to get the phone in and out. Lesson learned the hard way. The second one works fine but also has some issues. The bevelling is uneven, fortunately it doesn't jump out at you in real life as much as it does in the picture.
  14. Really nice! Has a very clean and polished look.
  15. That's the added benefit. They look gorgeous as well as working really well. Without a doubt, my bear mauls have been one of my very best investments.
  16. Very nice! Thanks for sharing them with us.
  17. Love your space! Thanks for sharing.
  18. Particle, most of the higher end Pfaff home machines had the IDT feed system, so your wife has plenty of models to choose from. It works very well for helping prevent creeping of the different layers of fabric. It certainly works much better than any walking foot attachment.
  19. Thanks. I didn't have a v gouge when I did that one so I used the ball end of the scribe tool I have to draw the lines. It gave me pretty good creases that made it easier to fold.
  20. I really like the contrast on this!
  21. I would love to see this tutorial when it makes the light of day. Keep us posted and thanks.
  22. Very Nice!! I have trouble keeping one square for more than a couple rows, can't imagine doing two over that much distance. Bravo!
  23. Fiebings makes a product called Snow Proof that is supposed to be good for outdoor applications. I haven't tried it myself but Tandy has it on sale this month, so I am thinking of picking some up.
