Thanks how many people mark them, except they do colored bands around the shaft with nail polish for durability. Chan Geer has Red and Blue on his tools in class.

Probably not.

I certainly wish you the best, however, I can assure you that obtaining a visa for any of these countries is going to require more than just your desire to move. As a man who recently applied to live in another country, I can tell you you need to qualify for a specific visa before you're even considered, and its usually a several year long process. Leatherwork wont get you in. You'll probably need to apply for standard immigration visa and then pursue leatherwork afterward. Also, I deleted the other two posts that said the exact same thing. Good luck!

Ewww that's nasty.

Ok good. I thought I was slipping!

Do you see traces of a cut anywhere else?

I do it all the time on fine details. I didn't read his question like that though. The runes are not cut, only beveled.

Korevantes but phonetically Thank you.

Steel stamps, Sergey Noskrimny, Clay Miller, Robert Beard, Barry King can all make custom stamps. If you're looking for More makers mark style stamps, Greg Turner, Jeff Mosby and a few others can make them out of Delrin.

No way. Cop food.

I ate them all

You can always reclaim your colors in post processing. I use lightroom for editing.

It look grainy because its small. Hermann Oak A grade I am cutting it as well.

One of our customers wanted a Greek Medusa holster. This artwork is from an historical relic carving and the lettering is an ancient alphabet.

Y knot Lace sells lovely natural roo as does knotty linda. Just give either of them a call and order some.

Natural or will take any stain, dye or paint just like veg tanned cow. Or you could just get a hide from a metal roo

Having a completely clean and smooth surface is imperative. Also don't bash it about while tooling and like Ferg said, nails short.

How long did you let it dry before you put finish on it? If its not completely dry, it can bleed and the dye and finish can react to make a sticky feeling mess.

That seat is sick. Love it.

I'm just curious to see what you mean. I started tooling on an old printing block for a medical book. It was cement. My life got better when I got the surface plate.

Woodcraft carried them a few years ago, but whatever makes you happy. Have a pic of those tiles?

Its a precision piece of granite used in machining to test tolerances, layout, inspection or when you need a perfectly flat assembly surface. http://www.shars.com/products/measuring/surface-plates/grade-a-9-x-12-black-granite-surface-plate

If you want a non-chines machine, you'll need to be ready to spend a LOT of money. That being said, the chinese machines are pretty good and parts are readily available for most of them. I will move this to the sewing machine section so @Wizcrafts can take a crack at it.

That should be fine but I prefer a compressor with a tank as it eases the drain on the motor and flow is more consistent. Check out Chicago Airbrush on the internet and see what they offer.

If it were me, I'd get larger diameter if you have the room so you don't have to cram thick hides into a small tube.
