  1. That came out looking great, you should be proud of that piece!
  2. English bridle is my go to dye for knife sheaths and holsters, cut 50% with reducer and applied with wool shearling. With stamping - carving highlighted with Fiebings brown antique.
  3. I use it as a resist for antique. Afterwards I top coat with resolene.
  4. Helene passed me just to the east so I didn’t get hammered, winds only got up around 50 mph around me and around eight inches of rain. Milton is headed to Tampa-Clearwater now, I moved from Clearwater to the woods in North Florida three years ago. Lived there around 35 years and seen a lot of hurricanes skirt by but never a direct hit. We always said the big one would hit…could be next year or a hundred years. This is the one. I have a lot of friends down there and I’m praying for them, that area is going to get clobbered like no one could imagine. Hurricane Michael hit my area of North Florida five years ago and I couldn’t believe the damage I saw.
  5. Hunkering down in my place, in the deep woods just outside of Tallahassee. Last night I was in the cross hairs now it shows coming thru a little bit East of me. It’s been raining since last night, that soaks the ground good and makes it easier for the trees to come down, the ones that don’t snap. Keeping my fingers crossed. Supposed to come thru around 11:00 tonight. Prayers going out to anyone in the path of this storm.
  6. I’m done with buying Herman Oak leather from Springfield.
  7. My directions are way down in that thread, on page 5.
  8. Here’s a link to a thread on how I did it on my 4500…go to page five
  9. That looks awesome, great work!
  10. I wear 1.5 power reading glasses a lot, especially when I'm making folding knives. bought at Walmart on the cheap. they are a godsend. I use to wear an optivisor but it's a lot bulkier. the screws I use on these are 0-80 which are TINY!
  11. Your stitching looks great. My wife had a detached retina years ago and went thru the surgeries, had gas injected to hold the retina in place then we had to fly so that had to come out and oil injected. Has really bad vision in that eye. Still has issues sometimes so I know what you’re going thru. Your stitching looks great, keep the faith and power on.
  12. Looks good Jeremy, I like the adjustable belt clips.
  13. I meant it’s a left hand holster.
  14. Looks good, but your picture's backwards. that's a lefty!
  15. That looks great!
  16. According to the dimensions listed there it’s 16.93 inches high. Add me to the do not risk buying this list.
  17. I got the dragon scale stamp on Amazon from this seller...DandS ltd. I believe he is a dealer for Sergey Neskromniy
  18. That looks awesome!
  19. Thanks guys, Jarrod here's the background stamp i used on that one........Tandy Leather E294-03 Craftool� Stamping Tool 66294-03
  20. Nothing fancy but figured I'd post a few knife sheaths I just finished up! thanks for looking!
  21. Hmmm, I’m might have to look at using sausage casings in my knife sheath work.
  22. It sounds like your pedal it hanging up, it should return to the stop position when you let up on it.
  23. To add a picture, it has to be resized for this forum to take it. I resize mine to 650 as the largest size, then save that resized photo, come back here click add a photo and choose the one you just resized. anything bigger and it won't post.
  24. I have a CB4500 and notice a big improvement as far as pedal reaction to foot pressure by removing the brake pad in the back of the motor. you could try that and if you don't like it just put it back.
