I'm going to in my next order I make, I was just curious if anyone on here knew of anyone.

I would be curious what the cost would be. What a great subtle way to mark your work. Add to the fine details of ones work.

Hmm, I wonder who you'd have to get ahold of get that done.

So I recently became a resale for Moore Maker Knives, while looking through their website i noticed on their knife scabbards they sell, their copper rivets have their name on them. The link will show what I am talking about. Do any of you know here you can get such a setter? http://catalog.mooremaker.com/images/mooremaker/02scabbardcomp.jpg

Thanks for the prompt replies. I just told my customer he'll have to wait till I get back from honeymoon in a couple weeks. Then I can work to fix it or just remake it if I have to.

I am making a double stitched shoulder strap for a guy, and while sewing at my machine, which is in my garage (in Texas, un-airconditioned) the sweat from my arm turned a few spots blue/grey!!!! The leather is herman oak.....It will be a natural finish so I cant cover it with dye. Is there anything I can do?! Need to get it done by Thursday. Im getting married this weekend so I will be out for 2 weeks starting friday.... any and all help would be greatly appreciated! 1

I do have Stohlmans books, I'm fairly confident in the leather making part, I was just hoping there would be a premade case to work with, the base skeleton at least.

I am wanting to make either a hard takedown case or a leg of mutton case for my o/u. I have a couple questions for either case... .1) for a hard case, leather bound.... Do any of you know where I could purchase or find a pre fabed wooden case to work the leather on? 2) to make the mutton leg bag, what would be a good material to use as a stiffener? Thanks ahead of time all! I am envisioning a full coverage Sheridan toolied case on either...

very cool!

It would be for a belt. I'll stick with the veg tan.

yeah, I'd call that fancy! You put some time into that rig!

Thanks!

I'm working on a belt and was wondering if suede makes for a good liner? I usually use 2/3oz veg. Any thoughts on this would be great. Thanks ahead of time.

Just finished this strap last night. 9oz HO, suede lined. Customer wanted me to use her husbands custom buckle he wasn't using. I have made several straps in the past couple years, but this is my new favorite! Hope y'all enjoy! (fret not, I punched the button holes just after this picture was taken.) Another tidbit, I recently started doing some engraving and cutting silver and copper Christmas ornaments, I stamped the 'Texas' using a 14ga copper texas I had cut out. Figured out how to kind of make custom stamps! Have also used some smaller 1.5" texas cut outs to stamp on some beer cozies.

Your work looks good. I will agree with you one the layout part. I have tried sever times to draw up a sheridan pattern, but everytime it looks bad. I have read through the sheradin book several times (I forget the name) but I just cant seem to get it straight. I would love to see the bible cover, you mentioned. I am about to start a bible cover as well for a christmas gift.

I will be making some little items, key fobs, maybe a card wallet. Going to have some belts, coozies, and guitar straps as well. I'll be taking my 1" letters as well so I can stamp names at the booth is anyone wants. Thanks.

I have been wanting to incorporate some canvas into so projects myself. This looks great. I like the unlined handles, it gives it a good sickle minimalist look. A style that seems to be doing well for sales.

I have been working on these for a few weeks. Have made about 25 so far. Will be taking a lot with me to an upcoming Christmas market.

made these for an upcoming Christmas Market. Question for the liner, where do you stop you lining? Or do you go the entire length of the belt, past the bend? I ended mine at the first snap.... They were made form belt blanks I have had for a while and didn't want to knock the snaps out and replace if lining the whole length...

Looks pretty good to me. It is tough working in a small space huh? I am working out of an efficiency garage apartment right now. My living room is my shop. I have had the same problems with loose fibers. All I can figure is it was from the cheap Tandy leather i had been using when I first got started. Keep up the good work!

very nice work. I'd love to see a picture of the spine.

it was last weekend Oct 4-5th. It was picked over pretty well when I got there Saturday. I really had to practice restraint to not pick u a cobra 4 while I was there....

I'm going to have to avoid the cobra booth. Don't know if I can trust myself... Gotta leave the plastic at home too.

NOt the best picture, or best knife sheath, but here is my mark.

INcredible work. I like the color. What dye did you use? Its a great even dye job.
