Shhhhh. If I had packaging that good, I wouldn't have to work so hard! -

Here are some pics from my latest article in the Leather Crafter's and Saddler's Journal. Detailed instructions and a pattern are included in the issue, along with why this is a necessity in my life! -

Exactly! I always tell myself I'll one day have a wall for all my tools etc, and that I'll put them back immediately after using them. Pfffft. -

So true... I have 20 times the tools I need to do my work. And I still see a new shiny one and think, hmmmm.... My confession: Mm bench is a mess. I clean it regularly but it always collects piles of stuff. I blame it on lack of space, but I must admit that it would probably be the same no matter what. -
For discussion purposes, inspired by a lot of silly info on the FB. https://vimeo.com/287673531

Cool Then you know what you're getting yourself into. I looked at starting a recognized internet guild with my FB page a while back, but I chose not to for a variety of reasons, some of what I listed above. A physical guild will be easier to manage all the way around.

In short, there is no standardization. The only consistency of any tool numbers is from a single maker. What a number two from on maker means something else entirely from another maker. I would try to go with the manufacturer who gives physical sizes in mm if you're unsure. Sadly, I have a half dozen awls on account of this very issue, and no two are the same, even those from the same maker. A lot of people learn to shape their own awl blades on account go this.

If they are the older versions with the longer shaft, they are about 40 bucks each.

how can you make airbrushed dyes penetrate deeper?
immiketoo replied to Jarednem's topic in How Do I Do That?
That doesn't really work. If its uneven to start, airbrushing will show it. Unless you go way darker than intended. Black is the great equalizer- 13 replies

Running a guild is a LOT of work. It requires paperwork, a board, Robert's rules and the like. Contact the IFOLG for information on how to get started. They will send you a packet that needs to be filled out and point you in the right direction. Good luck! If you do get one started, I know a lot of people in your area who might be interested.

Congrats, Jo! That's an awesome achievement and I'm glad you're a proud mom!

immiketoo replied to Jarednem's topic in How Do I Do That?
Well, nothing can take the place of dyes applied with wool, and the question was can help the dye soak deeper, not as deep as. Oiling before and after your dye coats will help improve the durability of the finish beyond just spraying it, but if you want dauber depth you'll have to get good at making even colors and fades sans airbrush. It can be done, but its not easy.- 13 replies

Steve and crew do an outstanding job in a world where other vendors just don't seem to care. Its refreshing to say the least.

immiketoo replied to Jarednem's topic in How Do I Do That?
Yes, sorry. Now, to be clear, we're not talking about the depth as if you'd used wool or cloth to apply the dye, but it makes a big difference in the fragility of the sprayed dyes.- 13 replies

Let it absorb then spray. Once you put color on, oil immediately to set the color.- 13 replies
