  1. I would prefer cobra(or similar) automatic machine. You will save tons of leather, time and life, rather than doing a hand splitting. worth the money, many will tell ya
  2. give a call to SLC they had something time ago. maybe can point you
  3. acadia leather have a bit SLC a little maverick leather had Wickett&Craig have double shoulders (65$ a piece). 'nstaleather' user have good stuff to pick up p.s actually, i'm surprised of US dealers not to use a chance to raise additional bucks using holiday sale ..

    Decisions....

    Kyoshin ELLE available in 'ggodsjapan' on ebay and\or their site - japan quality-smooth and pleasure to work. will be much cheaper that the ones you mentioned. 'better swivel knife than what I currently use (craftool)'
  5. I'm currently on the tests on the giardini, and wouldn't be so optimistic on the product.. new customers can get free samples as well. no need to pay for items, only shipping.
  6. how the lining inside is set? glued? sewed? I have an interest of knowing different lining techniques ))
  7. nice work I don't use, but would like to. It's still pricy for me..
  8. no prob have you sold those?

    Hermes

    you can use bridle. Mike nstarleather is selling currently Wickett Craig 3/4oz. Suitable for the purpose. basically any thin stuff will work.
  10. leather armor you can do a lot of that ))
  11. plastic dummy (or another material) will do the work. + you will always have a "body' in the room to make the basic measurements
  12. price (variations), pics, terms/conditions, description?!
  13. can you split down?

    Hi Michael what is their website?
  15. for those who buy only 1 thread - yes but when you buy lots of things at once - the shipping is almost seemles. what fee? never payed for any fee (maybe included in shipp.) +they give good and reliable discounts.
  16. patience together with reading this forum.. and watching videos - leather finishing p.s oiling always darkens a leather.
  17. why pay 33,32$ for 500mt spool of Tiger thread, if we can get lower price from BUckleguy for 29.99$? also got couple times - good seller as well )
  18. hard to choose maybe you can guide us on snake types and additional photos? some kind of classification and details will help
  19. no way. this is the one of few reasons some of us using pro edge finishes ) 1st post describes procedure. keep trying
  20. these aren't regular English Bridle Wickett&Craig colors?
  21. that was a question in a question in my post )) we have to pray to the gods that Wickett&Craig exists and goes forward to the customers.
  22. hmm.. airbrushing imho gives a very thin top dye coat. deep penetration is possible , for example, when you take a sponge and a dye, and work it into the leather (besides of sinking a piece of leather in a jar of dye ) :). specially 2-3 times. this allows pigments get as much deep as possible into leather. airbrushing is good for decorations, patinas, gradients etc.
