using oil dyes
MatthewD replied to MatthewD's topic in Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.
Cool thanks I will do this for sure... I really appreciate all of the help and encouragement that I have gotten and seen on this site... -
Okay what is the best sequence to use in getting a very even dye using oil dyes? Should you saddle soap or something before you dye or not? I did a test piece for the project I am working on and the dye did well but it has a few places where it was streaky and I was wondering how to eliminate those as much as possible Thanks Matt

My 9 year old son is attempting to solve any scrap problem I might have, he has found that by watching Dad that he might learn out to do some tracing on leather but I am not ready to hand him a swivel knife just yet..

I just wish I knew some places closer to my neck of the country... I would love to be able to sit down in a class and watch someone then get to do it correctly.

I was thinking the same thing Don. But I rewatched it a couple time to actually see him working and I figured out that I really need to sharpen my swivel knife some more :D

civil war era carbine boot
MatthewD replied to jetech's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Here is a thought for what it is worth...Why not attach the plate, then stitch in a covering piece of leather over any thing that might hit the rifle as it is going in or out... -
Thanks, I will try that the next time I am about to do some work, which should be in the next few days.. working on a project for my son...

I think that my biggest problem is knowing if it cased correctly. It seems like that I usually have it too wet. Can anyone tell me a good test that would give me an idea when I am in the correct "wetness" park. Not having anyone around to watch is a killer at times. I have been having a very hard time with using books lately for carving or braiding..
