  1. Pics would be helpful. You description isn't very clear.
  2. Cool, I went out and bought a light box, played with it and got AMAZING results! I'm shocked at the difference in quality between this and my former photos. Thanks for the tips!
  3. Looks good Randy....coming along nicely!
  4. Chief, find any post by hidepounder on this site and there's a link at the bottom of the post. Let me see if I can find a link. Here it is... http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr227/hidepounder/Active%20Links%20file/Flyer2.jpg Mike, I might have to check out those videos. I still want to head out west next year and hang out with some of the masters, but those will help over the winter.
  5. Corey, your photography is spot on. Perhaps you could write a tutorial for all of us aspiring photographers. I NEED to learn this.
  6. Sweet. I want to build one of these, but I dont have the proper shootin iron, so whats the point.
  7. I like the bleeding one.
  8. Nicely done. I particularly like the one with the metal studs in it.
  9. Looks good Billy. I like the bling!
  10. I bought some of these. Good deal.
  11. They are a shoe dye predominantly, but lots of us use their products.
  12. Somebody told me you cant tool oil tanned leather, after I tooled a holster out of it. It was a real pain, but it's doable if youre willing to try. Just because its not the best doesnt mean its impossible.
  13. No, you'll have to spend some time mixing dye to get that color. You might look at angelus dyes as they have more colors, but OD green is not available as far as I know.
  14. Not bad Zach. Guide lines would help you with your stamping alignment, as will practice. There are plenty of tutorials around on the web. Also, basketweave is pretty difficult so dont worry. Keep toolin! Mike
  15. Hey Billy, had no idea you just joined! Welcome officially!
  16. Be smart and selective with your tool purchases to you don't end up with a lot of crap. Good tooling stamps make a world of difference.
  17. Welcome! I started exactly the same way, with the same set and the desire to "make" something. It's turned into a passion beyond anything I've known. Enjoy your cheap kit and use all the leather to practice on! I make holsters as here in the states, we can own almost anything. Power tool holsters are cool too and you might look into making one for a prop gun just to get the feel of it. Anyway, good luck!
  18. You're quite welcome sir. HAppy stitching!
  19. No worries. I'm not trying to curb your enthusiasm, only provide some guidance that I didn't have when I started. Now go make something!
  20. Still think bikini models sell more than flies
  21. How much extra is the fly on the sling? Nice work as usual sir.
  22. Will ghormley's patterns have the slide in type pretty clearly laid out. the other kind, I know how to do but its really hard to explain without showing.
  23. If you are using pre waxed thread, sometimes a ball or knot will form, but it should be a smooth transition. If you get the ball, start over until its a completely smooth transition. Also, I regularly use a pliers to pull me needles through anyway, so dont make your holes bigger. Mike
