  1. Nice job on that. That font is pretty cool. Is that your own design?
  2. That's really cool, you do great work.
  3. Chuck, could you just do a few words on the part where he tips the quart jug, LOL? I'd love to hear it.

    Wow, beautiful job on that. The detail is incredible. Love the color. Great job.
  7. It's almost unbelievable. Here's the thing: someone got paid to make that ridiculous video, and someone else okayed it!
  8. YouTube Tandy dyeing leather video
  9. Dyeing leather: I just watched a video from Tandy Leather. The video was on how to dye leather. The guy opens a one-quart bottle of black leather dye, then he opens a small jar. You can see where this is going as he tilts the bottle: the dye runs down it, spilling all over the table, and some goes into the jar. There was enough dye on the table to dye the piece of leather about five times. Then the acid brush application. Well, at least he had gloves on. The instructional video should have been titled Why You Need to Wear Gloves When Dying Leather.
  10. That is really beautiful, serious attention to detail. The other guy has a problem if his belt isn't made to the same level of detail as that holster. I think it's a bit more than just dye over that beautiful stitching. Not everyone is capable of doing work as you did on that holster. I don't see this collaboration working out, but I've been wrong before. I truly hope it comes out beautiful because if it doesn't, even though your work is impeccable, you will be part of a horrible build. IMHO.
  11. Nice job on that; it looks very custom, well thought out, and useful.
  12. If you get the 1/2" leather tape that can act as a guide.
  13. Chuck, you can get the two-sided leather tape from Wawak sewing supply with some thin leather, 2 to3 oz, on a let's say a 3" rad corner. If you wet the leather just a bit, I think you can compress it enough so you won't see any wrinkles. Make a 3" rad on a small piece and try it make the strip about 1 1/8 wide.
  14. Welcome, what you have done so far is pretty cool.
