    looks awesome so far!
  2. Bigfoote
    Looks kind of cool, I like your beveling job!
  3. Bigfoote
    Looks great, I'd be happy with that!

    Yes I did a little tweaking on my awl also, just wish they would have put a better ferrule on them, I have scratched a few molded pouches with mine.

    Thanks Jole, I'm still learning, but people are starting to ask for stuff so it can't be that bad.
  6. Bigfoote
    Thanks Bikermutt!

    Here is what I have been up to today, working on my saddle stitching. I know, gotta watch my corners!

    Snubbyfan, and here I thought I was the only one still using a Tandy awl. LOL.

    Looks pretty nice, what kind of finish did you use or is it natural?
  10. Bigfoote
    Wow that is awesome, good job there!
  11. Bigfoote
    Boy I do like the two tone finish, nice job and great idea!
  12. Bigfoote
    I guessed that place because that is where I usually start my lacing. Wow six pieces, you are an expert at hiding those joints!
  13. Bigfoote
    Looks great Chief! I think we should start a contest to guess where you started and finished. My guess is right under the tree trunk bottom right hand? I'm not real sure about that but that's my guess on this fine piece of lacing!

    It's always hard to get that linen thread to do what you want it to. Your stitching is great by the way.

    Looks great to me. I can see a small glue line in the lower right on the first picture, but I'd be pretty happy with those edges. One thing I found by trial and error, try using some tiger thread, it is awesome, makes your stitching lay really flat, and you can hide your overstitching better. I'd probably go with the 1.0 size for that project. Garry

    Wow!
  17. Bigfoote
    Wow that looks great! Nice stitching and I don't see any errors, like others have said you are your own worst critic. I'm sure your daughter will cherish it!

    Looks great, only comment I would have is you should line that belt so the stitching doesn't show. Great job though.

    I use Fiebings black dye as well, two coats and you get a nice black, easy to use as well, no blotches. I've switched from Tandys Pro Water stain, which was the only eco-flo product that gave even reasonable results, to Fiebings pro oil dye, they work awesome.

    Wow nice! Are they lined, or is that the flesh side? Hard to tell from the photo. By the way awesome stiching

    http://www.knottylinda.com/, it's a great place for Kangaroo Leather Lace, good service as well as fast shipping.

    Really nice stuff, your stitching is fantastic. I'm still learning, but you say you are using pro-line lacing chisels? I'm doing mine with an awl and they look pretty good, but not nearly as good as yours. Could you be more specific on the size of lacing chisel you are using? Thanks, Garry.

    Looks great, what kind of dye is that, and where did you get the buffalo conchos?
  24. Bigfoote
    LOL, well It's a good reminder, them dang hand made leather goods just never seem to wear out. I use all the stuff I make errors on, just can't bring myself to throw them out.

    I just made a card holder and put the initials on upside down! Did the same with the first belt I made! Live and learn.
