Call your local UPS depot office -- that is unacceptable and needs to be stopped immediately. This is people's STUFF we're talking about...not trash. It shouldn't be left out in the rain/snow/etc. irrespective of "why" it happens. One of the drivers in my area was scanning my stuff as "Delivered" just whenever he felt like it. I get instant notifications on my tablet to tell me immediately when the status changes. I was getting "delivered" notifications, so I'd go outside and look around -- no truck, no package, nothing. Then the guy showed up like twenty minutes later with my package. A call to the depot stopped that in a hurry.

Can you please post an example of one of your pages of code? I'm curious to see what it looks like and how it works.

Where did you get the metal bits on those? Did you make those parts? The colors really look good on them...

Some windows block UV...I would put it outside, in the sun.

I have the same exact problem with the missing characters. Also, my enter key does not work. I have to copy and paste carriage returns from notepad to get to the next line on here. Makes no sense.

Well...I am on a T3 and have noticed the same problems. It's not my connection. There's obviously a problem...you shouldn't have to reload a page multiple times to get it to actually load.

I need to get me one of those leather garrison caps so I can look that cool...ooooo...

That's a good idea...I think I have some that will work in the right size at home...might have to try that. Also thought about wrapping around the base with stainless steel 16ga wire to give it more heft...then putty on top of that.

Yeah, I have a really nice Gingher rotary cutter and it doesn't work for $#@# on cutting a straight line on my leather. I have the same problem with the utility knife too. I usually end up scoring it with the utility knife and then bending it and cutting the rest of the way. (This is with a brand new blade also, so it's not that.) I should probably just invest in a good round knife and be done with it...maybe if someone would ever buy any of my stuff, I'll be able to invest in such things.

Whomever receives those are all going to be very, very happy.

Lots of discussion about this, here... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=51046

That's funny...that's the same way I notate how to tie different turkshead knots in my small notebook... I probably need to start working on plaiting different patterns once I get a little better with the turkshead knots.

You're probably right...but I don't really have the funds to go out and buy large pieces of leather for it to be cost effective right now. I was already planning on copying the pattern for future use, so that is a good idea.

Well. Turns out the app is compatible with my old 7" tablet, but not on my new 7" tablet. Oh well. Really hate when they do that...

So I thought it might be fun to make myself a wallet with a kit from leathercrafttools.com. Here is a link so you can see what the finished wallet looks like... http://www.leathercrafttools.com/kits/wallet/m-long-wallet/list.jsp I received the kit and after contacting them, received some revised instructions that I think I can actually use now... This is the kit I got...I also got the optional pockets and gusset... http://www.leathercrafttools.com/shouhin.jsp?id=9141 Now I have to decide if I want to leave it plain, ala http://global.rakute...g/item/2170579/ ...or do I want to try tooling it? I'll probably hand sew it, though it looks like they used a machine on the pics on leathercrafttools website...I'd prefer to hand sew for the reasons I've (and others) stated in other threads. Stain it or leave it to darken naturally over time? Thoughts? Ideas?

Didn't you post in here the other day about that "pattern goldmine" you found on etsy and how you were getting to be "good friends" with the seller (LZpattern) on there? Could've SWORN I read that on here a couple of days ago...

Seems like a small syringe would work well for fine lines and small amounts too. I have a wallet kit I will be assembling and will probably apply the barge's to it that way once I get started on it...

Searched in the Play Store for fts timesheet and cannot find it...

I'm using gaffer's tape. I will try to use the putty tonight... I read not to use anything under Spanish ring knots, so didn't...but even tightened, they are also "squishy"... Rawhide would be good, but I wanted to get better at my knots first before I try to start doing more with rawhide...

So it turns out the herringbone interweave is a bit easier to understand for me now...after the first couple, a definite pattern emerged. I made another keychain...this time with a "long pineapple knot" w/ herringbone interweave (from Gail Hought's books). It came out nice, but -- one thing that has been bothering me is the finished weight of these. They are very, very light. I don't like that...I feel like they should have at least a bit of weight to them or something to make them feel more solid/well made. Right now, my knots are "squishy" (for lack of a better word) because I've been using tape for the groundwork. I bought some of the 2-part epoxy putty to try out...hoping that will give a little more weight to the finished item, but I haven't tried it yet. I've used the stuff before for other things...boy, that stuff smells bad! Any other ideas on how to make them a bit heavier? My knots are tight and do not have gaps or anything, but...really no weight to them at all.

Did you try searching for tobacco pouch in the search bar at the top of the screen? Because when I did, it pulled up a lot of threads... Can't help you, personally...that's one item I will never make.

For what it's worth, I had a legitimate request for this several years ago...I had an order for some ballistic nylon notebook covers, so I drew up the design, sewed the prototype to ensure proper fit for the notebooks, then I contacted a manufacturer for a quote to have them make them. If I made them myself (even though I did know how to do it), it would've taken way too long for me to make 100 of them by myself and I got a great price from the manufacturer. So...I understand why people would caution others about things like this...but there are sometimes legitimate, honest requests like this. I'd probably be very skeptical too if I hadn't been in the above situation and sought out quotes for my own project.

I did receive revised instructions from the folks at leathercrafttools.com...they are a little better. What really helped was the actual pics of the finished wallet. Now I have to decide if I want to leave it plain, ala http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/jeansbug/item/2170579/ ..or do I want to try tooling it. Will probably hand sew it, though it looks like they used a machine on the pics on leathercrafttools website... Ideas?

Can you send me your email address via PM please?

Do you have any of Gail Hought's books?
