  2. You ain't got that bib done yet???
  3. that is cast pewter and will shatter if you try to peen it...it needs a copper washer (so it is soft enough to bend without a lot of pressure) and put it on similar to doing a copper rivet.......BUT DON"T PEEN IT!!! Either that or if you have patience and a very small drill bit. you can cross drill it and pit a cotter pin and washer on it.............but that might cause injury so not recommended
  4. I am waiting on a 15-91 to get here....it will sew what you want as long as you don't get too thick
  5. looks nice.....but.....learn repition on the stitching and it would not look so uneven.....and just my opinion.....I am not a fan of edge paint..... JMHO
  6. Looks good to me....maybe a bit of dry brush green?? Mike
  7. Mock Bros is still in business and they have a website.... www.mockbros.com/ Mike

  9. Check with Bluesman1951.........he has some local vendors in NM that might be able to help.
  10. Welcome Allen. I am from Tx also and will be moving back there in about a month. I hail from College Station. Stop in the chat room sometime too. Mike

  12. looking good JJ
  13. looks good JJ
  14. Nice....reminds me of a stitching horse I saw when I went to visit Bill......aka bluesman1951.......very nice quality and construction!!
  15. thats different!
  16. very cool.......hand grips are not that big so that must be a difficult thing to do. Mike
  17. Great........thanks for the reply....Now if I can just get all this braid learning to stick in my head!! Mike
  18. Same as what Mike2 said................But for the tool buying part.....I OWN that title Mike......the tool whore!
  19. how long after putting the ashes on so you wait before scraping? Maybe a tutorial to help show the whole process you use? I for one would really appreciate it! Thanks, Mike Beautiful reins BTW.
  20. are you going to leave the stitch like that? Looks good so far
  21. Barrel size is a personal preference and the smaller ones, in my opinion, help with the tighter curves. That being said, however, I have a 1/2" and a 3/8" barrel from Barry King and I use them both depending on the pattern I am doing at the time. The Barry King knives are $45 and include a blade. They are not the cheapest and also not the most expensive either. But the are quality tools.
  22. I have a project coming up that is going to have white buckstitch.......I need 12-15 ft of 1/4" white kangaroo lace to do this with Really hate having to buy a whole roll or hide to do this......If you have any, please let me know and I will buy, barter, whatever... It needs to be in good condition BTW.....does not have to be beveled...I have a beveler to do that Thanks, Mike
