I also use a cheap wooden strap cutter, always worked great, no problem as long as you keep the blade sharp.

Rattlesnake Knife Sheath
Bigfoote replied to Rolandranch's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Wow nice job on that sheath! I'm also wondering if that is hand stitching? -
Nice job, lots of leatherworkers in Calgary! Is that hand sewn or machine?

First Belt of the Year
Bigfoote replied to Equiplay Saddlery's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
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! -

Long over due Idea

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! -
Rifle butt stock cover
Bigfoote replied to Halitech's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
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. -
Rifle butt stock cover
Bigfoote replied to Halitech's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
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. -
This looks great, I will have to try one! -
Did you line this? And what weight of leather is it. Lots of work lacing this up, looks great! -
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 .

Thanks guys, I found him on FB, sent a message for more info, will let you know what I find.

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.

Really, that looks like a lot of places to make a mistake!! Wow I will have to give that a try but it looks pretty difficult!
