Very clever, nice looking holster!
-
I had just bought a couple 3/8" dowel rods for a couple jalapena plants I have outside of my shop and figured a piece would help keep the extension aligned with the barrel. so i cut a piece off and drilled a hole thru the wood, inserted into barrel, drew a profile line on the wood and sanded it to shape, then taped the sides. it worked great

I would say when you feel your quality is worthy of marking it with your name your ready to sell. I'm a knifemaker and when I started making knives a well known maker told me how to make one million dollars making knives...........start out with two million and keep going till you have one million left ha ha.

I got an order for an inside the waistband holster for a Ruger SP101 357 magnum without access to the gun, I told him sure I happen to own the same gun it has a 2 1/4" barrel right? he said no, this one has a 3 1/4" barrel...oh oh. I have a pretty well set up knife shop so I made a wooden plug contoured to the barrel 1" long and used that to vacuum form the holster to the gun. it came out good, I'll see the gun on Friday, it should fit perfect, hopefully.

A man and his beautiful but kind of dim witted wife were sitting having breakfast together one morning, he was reading the morning news when he says to his wife, well… looks like there was a plane crash yesterday, says here that there were a lot of injuries and two Brazilian people were killed. His wife started crying and sobbing and her husband asked her what was wrong, she said that’s awful, how many is a Brazilian?

Man, that’s one honking radiator right there.I can see why it would take two people to work with that thing. -

Pancake for a Kimber 10mm Rapide
bladegrinder replied to Hags's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Great looking holster! Nice color too! -
Those are nice, I had one as a kid, a cop saw me playing with it, stopped and took it from me. on a side note, I once had a set of three throwing knives. I was throwing them at a telephone pole, same thing happened, a cop drove by and saw me, stopped and took all of them...ruined all my fun.

That's a really nice looking bag, great work!

Spontaneous Combustion and Safety With Chemicals
bladegrinder replied to Sheilajeanne's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
When I lived in the city I've seen city cans at the street catch fire, a few weeks ago I changed the oil in my truck and this particular truck makes a mess so I had a nice stack of oily rags. I cut open a milk jug, put them in and filled it with water, when trash day came, that's when they went in the can. I ran the leak response truck for a natural gas utility for twenty years, where I live now I've had the forestry dept. assist me in prescribed burns four times now, fires good when it's planned and usually really bad when it's not. As hot as this summer has been oily rags and a can are asking for trouble for sure. -
I've watched the first one, scary but funny too! that looks like ol Chucky! nice work!

How to answer the question "How much is it?"

Puddle monkey? Ha, Ha....what the heck is that? -
Thanks folks!

I just finished four knife sheaths, they were all going to be a little different but I kind of got carried away with the dragon skin stamp from Sergie. I'm really liking the pattern now that I've had some practice with it. I'm dragon skinned out now so the next ones will be different in some way. I got carried away a little with the hunter orange G10 for handles too, I only used it once years ago and people liked it so I figured I'd make a few with it, I'm on the fence with using it on the Damascus blade but hey...had to try it, it only takes one person besides me to like it! Thanks for looking!

That looks awesome! Great work!

Ruger Blackhawk Bisley Holster
bladegrinder replied to JWheeler331's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
That's a beautiful holster! nice iron too, I'm a big fan of Ruger's. -
I'm with you on the black powder, I have several black powder guns and love that smell in the air when I'm shooting them. I worked the leak response truck for a natural gas distributor for over 20 years, I've got a really good sniffer when it come's to smelling things!

Soldering chain for vest chains
bladegrinder replied to DianeH's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
There's a lot of different chain repair links on the market, stainless too. you might find one that wouldn't look too out of place or kind of hide it in your work piece. -
Here's what I learned here on this forum and it works for me, I measure 1/2 the thickness of whatever your encasing, in this case a phone so 1/2 on both sides and add that to your width. The phone pictured here has an Otter case which makes it pretty thick and easier to measure. excuse the carvings on front, I'm still learning that end. after it's stitched up I dipped it in water for a few seconds and slid in a piece of wood that was the same dimensions as the phone, let it sit in there for about 15 min. pulled it out, let it dry and the phone fits nice and snug.

Help Identifying Possibly Antique Leather Object
bladegrinder replied to DoorMaker's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
May have been a spice holder, pepper or what have you. -
That's what I was thinking, some of those that look like checkering tools might be used for fine lines in clay like hair.
-
I wonder if there for modeling clay like making busts or statues.
