I have never stamped any brass or stainless ID tags before an was wondering if anyone can lead me in the right direction as how this is done, Do they sell a machine that will emboss them ? The kind of ID tags you attach to the leather on a collar.

I was just thinking, could you thin the acrylic with linseed oil to make it absorb into the leather more an keep it more flexible? Please if you have any experience with acrylic, Help, I am in the dark here.

I am using acrylic dye/paint on natural strap leather from weaver, its white acrylic. After it dries an you flex the leather, the acrylic cracks. Is there way to stop this ?

A home sewing machine may sew 2/3 oz . For thicker leather you will need a small leather machine.

I use seam tape, and keep zipper tight when sticking down, then machine sew. I put on one side of zipper on at a time. The trick is, when putting your zipper together, ( zipper pull ) make sure you teeth are lined up.

No I have not. I want to bury it so the stitches sit below the top of the leather so as not to wear

I have been making belts an I am having a problem getting my stitching groove deep enough to bury size 346 thread. What in your opinion is the best tool to use for making your groove ? Thank you in advance Dan

Say you are making a belt, 1 1/2" wide, I use a clear plastic ruler ( the ones you can buy at ( Wal-Mart ) Lay the ruler on the belt, line up the edge of the belt with the 3/4 inch line on the ruler, take a pen or any pointed object an put a mark every inch. Most belts have 5 holes. When you punch the holes, use your eyes to center the punch. I hope this helps you. Dan
