Thanks everyone. I'll take more pics later.

This one is for me, but the circles nearly did me in!

This one was a bit difficult. It took two tries to make it look right. What do you think?

Yes, it takes a few days to process the video, but the link will be going out soon along with the pattern from the class.

Just a little follow up on the class. It was a great success! Chan is a master and it showed in his work and his demeanor. If anyone is interested, these classes are recorded and you may purchase them at any time. Just let me know.

Thanks Bob. This is going to be a great class.

All of the info is at the top of this thread, including the link to register. You can register the day of the class until it starts. You can also watch the video afterwards if you want.

Can't beat Barry King.

Mjdean, I run a business in which I provide instruction on a variety of leather working topics using top shelf instructors like Chan, Bob Beard, Chris Slickbald Andre and more. All of the classes thus far are geared toward beginner to intermediate leatherworkers, however there are things for advanced folks too. Classes are between an hour and an hour and one half, and they cost $20 bucks each. Students receive the opportunity to ask questions of the instructors and there is a video for later viewing. If you are interested, I have classes available for beginning use of the swivel knife, bevelers and backgrounding. Let me know here or at immiketoo@me.com.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. We're set to have a pretty good class this time. Can't wait!

These are made only by Robert Beard of pro series tools. There is about a year wait for them at this point unless you catch him at a trade show. These are made only by Robert Beard of pro series tools. There is about a year wait for them at this point unless you catch him at a trade show.

Rudi, I just used two coats of fiebings black. I've never had any problems with coverage. I've tried the blue first and never noticed any real differences. Bob, I buff everything after coloring and then I seal it with RTC.

Thanks everyone! They are very sittable. I have them in the field and they hold up well.

Thanks, Bruce!

What do you think?

If you buy it from Springfield, you could ask them to split it, otherwise you'll need to find a local shop with a splitter or buy a cheap one and do it yourself.

The class was not cancelled, however I am inquiring with the service provider to see if there was some sort of glitch. Several people had trouble although there were almost 30 in class today who didn't have any trouble. Please contact me via email and I will provide you a solution.
