How I Get Two Tone Colours On My Makers Stamp
David8386 replied to OdinUK's topic in How Do I Do That?
Looks really good, thanks David -
I got my airbrush at harbor freight and the acrylics at hobby lobby. Createx is the brand I have used. I am also pretty new at this also but there are several posts on this subject. Use the search at the top of the page search acrylics or airbrush. David

I would suggest trying airbrush with water based acrylics for airbrushing especially for the metallic look. I have had pretty good luck with the Tandy professional water stain for your browns and blacks like the leaf mask example. I would base coat the brown with a sponge or rag and then airbrush the black and darker browns until I got what I wanted. You can shoot spirit based dyes through your airbrush just remember to cut it with whatever your base is. Good luck David

Branding My Brand
David8386 replied to MakerUnknown's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Welcome to the forum. Nice work on the carrier. I also enjoyed looking at your albums, very good photography thanks for posting the link. David -
There was a post in here someplace on in laying ray to cut it then take a Dremel tool to sand down the beads on the edges so that you would have a smooth surface to stitch to. Or in your case to fold under. Hope that helps show us a pic when you get it done. David

Mallet Dies - What Can They Do? Who Makes Them?
David8386 replied to simontuntelder's topic in Leather Tools
I would also think a small press would be the best way to go. It would be easier on the dies also as well as more consistent. Look at a harbor freight store or there are several posts in this forum on them. I have looked at the small ones there, they have a very small footprint so they would not take up much space. David -
Welcome to the forum Roberto. I looked at your Facebook page and you have done some nice work. I need to try some bracers like you have in there someday they look very good. David

My First Floral Belt...
David8386 replied to ajc86mo's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Good job, thanks for posting them. David -
The good thing about the Tandy kits is they have the holes punched in the projects already. I would also get the book about stitching and lacing. The holes in the Tandy kits are really too big but it is good practice because when you screw up stitching you can undo them easier and start over. Another thing is make a cardboard pattern of them before you start and then you can copy that pattern onto leather and do them again. Good luck David

Briefcase - A Learning Experience
David8386 replied to Paulsleather's topic in Satchels, Luggage and Briefcases
Good job, I think it came out very nice. Thanks for posting it. David -
I think it looks very nice, especially for a first seat. I like the colors and tooling came out very good with the black. I am not sure what is going on with the back of the seat and front of the pillion pad with the gaps. I see where you attached them on the bottom of the seat pan so I really don't know how I would have done it differently. Was the original cover sewn? That is a kick ass eagle also. I would love to have it on my bike but I don't own a 2007 FLH_. If the part number is still on the pan you could call a dealership and talk to the parts guy. I keep looking for a 15 dollar seat but haven't found one yet. Good job! David
