  1. Well I didn't have a knurling tool.... So ya lines seemed the easier solution:) and yes you are an inspiration..... But we need to talk after making acetal of these I think I have a good idea for us both!
  2. So the last 2 months I have been crazy busy and working in a machine shop at a factory. What does a leather worker think about all day???? TOOLS!!! As a sub contractor sometimes it takes time to get to know the big bosses and finally I was trained and able to get into the Lathes they have there. I also learned how to TIG weld stainless while I have been there.... Well tomorrow the job is over for my contract and well.... I just had to stay a few hours the last couple days to make these! Sorry but these are all sold already... And tomorrow is my last day at the factory... BUT.... I am moving back to the USA in 8 weeks and will be setting up my new shop! So I you want one I. Can just add you to my leather list:)

      I want to hear about that for sure.

  4. It is funny I was just talking about this sort of thing to some fellow motorcycle people today! I like this challenge!! I think I will throw down on this this month:) Great idea.
  5. I am a Lace man...I rarely use a machine for anything. But that is my own personal hell:) I do however prefer the lace look. That is why I go through all the trouble. Did you build that Kit Car???
  6. hahahahaha Ya...20 different answers....Do I really have to make a video??? I am working on 18 belts right now with that process:)
  7. I use a glove and a sock over my hand that way I can control the dye better. Just tip the jug over or bottle and hold your hand tight over it...squeeze your hand together and start rubbing very lightly until you have the flow. It is better than block dying in my opinion. I have a black, brown, red brown sock and the more you use them the better they get.
  8. THAT LOOKS GREAT! DYE IT LACE IT CALL IT A DAY!
  9. Quite a lot of hand sewing! Have you tried Lace? It looks great only doing leather work 6 months!
  10. I will be in PA soon! I am moving back stateside in Sept and will be touring in January Feb after we record the newest record. SEE YA THERE!
  11. THANKS...YA I AM THINKING THE SAME...I DON'T MAKE A LOT OF WALLETS AND NORMALLY I DO USE HEAVIER MATERIALS..BUT I AM TRYING TO USE LIGHTER WIGHTS AND THE OUTCOMES ARE LESS THAN SATISFACTORY... caps on hahaha' anyway.. I see some awesome wallet interiors here and after looking and looking I may have found what I am looking for...fingers crossed! MOre pics to come...after I get this round of club belts out of the way.
  12. Hey Krystian! That is a GREAT first go! Awesome job! Welcome to the forum:)
  13. WOW!!!!!!! LOOKING AT THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU MADE THAT FRONT POUCH! SNEAKY:) HAHAHAHAHA
  14. Here is the Muertos Big Biker Wallet...but everyone wants something different...ARGHHH. I liked the guts in this but I personally would not want a coin pouch.
  15. I am making these for our crew and musicians in my band Sixgun Republic, but I really need a better design and help with the guts for these. I like doing everything myself and I have really been struggling making wallet guts. I have some sweet shapes and designs for the wallets but making the card holders is really not my thing...what is whacked is i do have an understanding of how it should be done but the execution is always not up to how i thought...ARGHHHHHHH I know Kevin posted a video on how to do it, but I can't find it.... In fact I cant find any good places on how to make the wallet insides anywhere. I have made lots and lots of wallets and the ones with thicker veg tan guts always come out great, but when i use garment leather and have to sew them is where i always have trouble. here is the last one I did, it is OK but not the style I really wanted...... Also I have added one for a tall biker wallet that I made with Veg Tan and added a small coin pouch, that one I liked...but I am not liking the card holders for the smaller ones...PLEASE HELP!! PHOTOS , TUTORIAL:::WHATEVER...I really want to make the guys some super sweet wallets, they work hard and deserve the best wallet I can make. Right now they just are not up to snuff. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
  16. That was my second guess:)
  17. very cool...I love your characters especially the singing cowboy!
  18. Hey Rod WELCOME BACK! I have a maul from Bearman and it looks different, but could be from any assortment of phases:)
  19. I actually make the main strap the full length then add the attachment half the length of the tail. IF YOU HAVE A PIECE OF LEATHER THAT IS 60'' but ball parked is ok as well as long as the extension hole to hole =60...
