    Key tags with an initial - sell like hot cakes

    Sorry, you've just riveted it together the edges are not done and you are asking nearly $80 there needs to be more value for the dollar, needs finishing and stitching

    My Able290 came from Darren, it had a base was all sorted and worked out of the box, all sorts of extras that made the whole transaction a pleasure and although he cost more than the cheap ones I feel it was a bargain just my 2c worth :-)

    don't use tracing paper, get draftsmans tracing film any good stationers should stock it, it is much thicker and heavier than tracing paper

    You can't be serious :-) Use modern techniques, a bit of thick leather, a chopping board, an lump of end grain instead of all that mucking about

    I'm sorry but using a toxic substance like lead for such a simple task is just silly
  7. howie696
    Use end grain wood, its by far the best thing for the tools

    I agree the tooling of the scales is awesome, and I'd love to know how it was done

    My cowboy works great, very sharp and easy to use, it sounds like you need some help setting it up

    I use these chopping boards they are all end grain and last for ages http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111235882616?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=410252003037&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    yes had a quick look and the leatherpatcher looks just like my Able290

    Or just stick with the old Stanley trimmer
  14. howie696
    We use a hose clamp from a car radiator, then a hack saw to trim off the damaged/worn part, the clamp acts as a guide so you cut straight

    I have the same set they are a bargain !!
  16. howie696
    A 2lb maul is just too heavy for a lot of tooling, get a rawhide mallet
  17. howie696
    they all say $1.00 international shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. howie696
    always use two coats

    you've no chance using hot solder, it might work if you glued on the cold solder
  20. howie696
    Just a simple gift
  21. howie696
    stick it onto some contact that is bigger than the piece it gives you something to hold on to
  22. howie696
    thanks for the template they look very nice
  23. howie696
    I doubt that lining leather would stand up as a football, and you certainly can't carve it :-)
  24. howie696
    have you a link for that set?
  25. howie696
    X2 on the lansky 5 stone set, its the only way I can get them sharp but it takes work on the very old hard blades
