    Wow nice job on that sheath! I'm also wondering if that is hand stitching?
  2. Bigfoote
    Nice job, lots of leatherworkers in Calgary! Is that hand sewn or machine?
  3. Bigfoote
    Wow that is nice! I can see that patterning would be a challenge! Great job!

    I've kind of given up on the ecoflo products, pretty much only use Fiebings now and have had a lot better success. Their pro oil dyes are very easy to apply, and I haven't had the problems with dye streaking and such. That seat looks awesome hope you can salvage it!

    Wow that is awesome! Is that hand sewn? Sometimes I feel like Mattsbagger, but I keep trying to improve!

    Looks great what did you finish the ostrich with?
  7. Bigfoote
    I use black permanent markers for my edges all the time, haven't had a problem yet!
  8. Bigfoote
    Really nice and clean, good tools really do help, your stitching is great!

    Wow that is awesome! I've never seen a serpentine stamp used like that, very creative! It's art but a piece I would use and be proud to wear!

    Ya I have come to the conclusion 10oz is about right! Going to get a couple bends in that weight and make a bunch more up, they sell real good in my area.

    Wondering what weight leather are you using on your slings? I made one out of 14oz saddle skirting I had kicking around, ended up making about 15 more for other people, and now my 8oz slings are not selling well??? I think the 14oz are way too stiff personaly, but you have to make what sells! I think I will standardize with 10oz, kind of happy medium.

    I am using ecoflo pro water stains, haven't had any problems with them. I found ecoflo antique will streak if you topcoat with Tan Kote though. I also use feibings oil stain with great success, and haven't had any rub off with the black.

    Here is the info for this stamp, you can contact the guy on Face Book "Mini5 Leather Craft Life" Would love to get this but $155 is a little out of my budget .

    Electrathon, never heard of a mini 5 tool before where do you get such a stamp? I did a google search and came up blank, and we all know google knows everything? Lol.

    Any one know how to do this basket weave and what tools are used?

    I have a set of those in 1/2 inch, checked the box and no part number, sorry about that.
  19. Bigfoote
    Thanks Dwight, that is the information I was looking for.
  20. Bigfoote
    What weight leather are you using on your one inch sling?
  21. Bigfoote
    Nice job Chief! What are you using for a finish on your leather, it looks great!
  22. Bigfoote
    Nice job Chief, looks awesome!
  23. Bigfoote
    Wow nice work as always Chief!
  24. Bigfoote
    Yup half hour or so and you turn some pretty mediocre chisels into awesome ones! I can pull my six tooth out of 2 layers of 4 oz with one finger holding the leather down! I used to use a block of wood and the old wiggle move.

    I polished mine up with a fabric wheel on a dremel and some green polishing compound. Takes a little time, but they go in and out with no problem. Always use a little beeswax on them, that helps as well.
