Ordered a hide and i cant use it for tooling since it has been oiled. Is there anything i can do to it, to make it suitable for tooling again????
-
When I first started crafting I got a grey hide that was oiled and not able to be tooled. I use it for canteens, handbags etc.. It still takes dye. Just crappy when you intended to do something else with it.

I know the feeling all too well. Got my self really good with the utility knife a few weeks ago. Even worse is when you have a wound that seems to get hit every five minutes during the healing process.

I just cut a 65" belt blank!! Not sure what I would have done if he needed an extra inch. That was the entire length of my belt weight side!!

Nice.....have at it!

Crunch time. Have less than two days to finish three toy holsters a pair of gaiters start and finish a "steam punk" ladies belt and add some straps to a vest. On top of that I have to dismantle three toy guns then paint detail and reassemble them for sealing... Why do I procrastinate...

Oh man these orders are rolling in! Who's idea was this again LOL!?
-
As soon as I am finished with these next 2 I will post pics of a few all at one shot. Thanks

Hand stitching..I have underestimated you...

For the Captain's mug I have handtooled gears/sprockets, tooled a compass, his name and rank, and the entire seal on the backside. This mug is for the USS SAN ANTONIO LPD 17. It should be amazing. It is a gift for him from the "guys" and he is demanding my email address so he can order one LOL. They keep telling him I am backlogged and will contact him when it's ready.

Thanks Double's
It IS such a good/bad feeling. What started as a pretty standard Navy coffee mug with a name and rank on it has become completely custom work. They are sending me pics of the ships seal (extremely detailed in color) and might I add impossible to tool and asking it to be on one side of the mug. I am doing it for the Captain, but directing others into something else. I talked the fire fighter into cross axes with flames etc..Only because the still want propellers, gears,...

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried Blockout instead of Resolene that I usually use as a resist. I put two coats on and let it dry for 30 hours. The least I can say is I am so PO'ed right now. It bled thru so much. When I wiped off the antique it was natural in blotches and dark as even in others.

Murray you can check out www.facebook.com/alteredleather there are pics of a few of them on there. I have 2 more dryind and ready to ship out Monday.

Thanks Murray. This last project may be more than I can chew. I have made steampunk leather mugs with propelers that spin, real pipe handles, and a bunch of tooled gears. The orders are rolling in like fire. I should have bought the gear stamp LOL.

Same here Murray. I thought blockout was a sure thing due to it being thicker, it just made sense to me. I am also back to super sheen
