I have some snaps I bought off etsy. They arent line 24's or line 20's which I have the setters for. Don't know what they are. Also I have a snap in mind that I would like to get, but I dont know what its called. Heres some pictures. First is what I have. Second is what I want.

Ill check them out. It says you can dye gourds with them. So if it doesn't work I can just dye my gourds....

ooh exotic that sounds cool. What are you gonna make. I saw they had zebra print stingray on clearance. But it looks like Axel Rose would wear it.

I like the price of the horse hide. But I emailed some lady from springfield, and she said they are UNTOOLABLE. Is that word? It is now. Yes you can stamp them with a good smack. But you can not swivel them up. Bummer. Still pretty cool though. 7.50 for 5 lbs my god.

Made a belt for a friend. I dont think its too bad. Wish I actually has people to do this with. Makes learning a lot easier. ( to me at least)

Herman Oak. Maybe not as experienced as some of you. But I can tell good and bad. Herman Oak is pretty damned good. I dont know about 9-10 oz. Seems pretty chunky. 7-8?

Okay. Your friend likes it...but it smells like pee so badly they have to put it on their balcony. I would just cut my losses. It was soaked in piss. or just cut it up and measure the pieces. make a new one. again. it. was. soaked. in. piss.

I want your guess sweatshirt.

I am looking for a green dye. Not a hunter green or an emerald green. I want an army green. Anyone found anything like this?

I got the zach white bag. AWESOME. Thanks for pointing me in that direction brother. I got three huge pieces. A huge long strip that strangely resembles a WWF belt. And about 6 belt ends to practice on.

Heres a pretty sweet deal too for anyone looking for daubers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z2S0GQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I ordered it. Seems like a great deal for someone like me that is just getting started. Someone referred me to springfield a while back and I love that place. I also got a 12 x 15 granite slab for 19 bucks. Im not buying from Tandy ever ever ever again. I also just made a stitching pony for under 10 dollars. Tandy wants a benjamin plus shipping for that sucker. They are thieves.

Vegetable tanned horse hide it 7.99 for 5lbs on springfield. how is this stuff? anyone use it ever? IS. IT IS 7.99 for 5lbs. I am an idiot.

Im living in this little town called west grove now. i forgot how much i dislike little towns. nosey nosey people.

yup thats what i bought. you are right. the description just sounded like gibberish to me at the time so...lesson learned. i bought that stuff from zach white, got to my house in two days, and it looks awesome.

The 3lb bag at Zach white it 15 dollars. The shipping is 14 dollars. Whatever I just bought it. Hopefully it's not a bag full of turds like before.

particle. I will definately learn from my errors. And thanks for the leather info. I am very fresh to this and I appreciate everyones help!

Those look pretty cool. I don't know if she needs any more shoes in this house, but hey what the hell. It will be a good learning experience.

They were pretty cheap. I guess I can use them to make a little pouch for my girlfriend or something. Hopefully they will find some use in my workshop. Thanks a lot Cheryl! I'll leave him a nasty feedback to make myself feel a little better about wasting 15 bucks.

Pretty thin pieces. One side actually feels like little hairy bristles. Other side has rough patches along with some smooth areas.

Hello. My name is Zach Cunningham. Im from Lancaster PA. Just got onto this site and I am completely ecstatic about the wealth of knowledge here. Everyone seems really cool and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone! Just started with leatherworking and I will have a lot of questions. But I prefer learning from real people as opposed to reading my books.

I recently just bought a 2lb mix bag of vegetable tanned leather from amazon to toy around with. HOWEVER! Both sides are pretty rough and are unburnished. I have aquired saddle soap and some gulf wax (things I am pretty sure I need). I was just curious as to the proper procedure to obtain a nice smooth surface to begin my stamping. Apologies in advance if this question has already been answered, but all I have really found is how to burnish the edges. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
