I've been wanting to order from them. The minimum order price is not a big deal, but I haven't gotten a chance to contact them and figure out prices. TBH, the cost of shipping alone makes me fearful to even ask. ~

Wow, it looks like a painting! VERY well done! ~

Very interesting design! Well done! Would love to see your pup modeling it tho! ~

Wow!!! I love it! Great work. ~

Beautiful work, mashallah! "God is [ the ] Great[est]" in arabic writing ~

Very cool! ~

Outside of F Martins, is there a company stateside that sells Stainless Steel &/or Solid Brass Martingale chains? I've been looking desperately and can't seem to find anything, however, I know a few other collar makers state-side are using stainless / solid brass, like Hogan Leather. I'm not sure how feasible [ financially ] it would be to import from F. Martins, when you factor in the pound to dollar amount & then international shipping. CDW sells plated steel, which I have no interest in. ~

I actually do have the Osborne version I think my main problem is the snaps! I don't think the post is sticking up past the leather enough! I tried "compressing" the leather with a hammer, and managed to set one, but it was a ROYAL pain!!! ~

Thanks for the heads up! Maybe I'll save for the press n snap instead. I think those are around $100? ~

You guys ROCK!!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU! :D ~

Dwight, Thanks!!! I'll be sure to check it out! I think we have a hobby lobby that opened up about an hour away or so, I will give it a shot. It'll be worth the drive to get rid of this frustration! Thank you! Do you know how far abouts the post should stick out past the leather? Thanks! I am horrible at skiving, especially with the super skiver I guess it's something I'm going to have to practice huh?

I feel like I'm losing my mind Every time I try to set line 24 snaps in my 10-12oz leather, I'm not getting a good curl and the snaps don't set properly. I think because the "post" is not long enough. Am I missing something? Do I need to skive the leather down? I know I've seen other makers set snaps in 10-12oz leather so I feel like I'm not doing something right. [ I'm using this setter: https://www.webdealings.net/~handtools-uk.com//uploads/Size%2024%20Snap%20Set%20kit.JPG ] Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!!! ~

Thank you!!! ~

Thanks for taking the time to share your results! ~

WOW! Thanks a ton! ~
