    unless you are wet molding something and you want it hard, you don't want to use a lot of heat. You'd be better off using something with a fan to simply move the air around.

    If it sprays fine straight then it must be decently thin to start with. I'll have to pick some up sometime soon and try it
  3. Halitech
    What ratio do you use to cut it? I've heard everything from 10:1 water:MnG to 10:1 MnG:water. Or do you use it straight? And no, I'm not wanting to start the argument about MnG being for floors vs Tankote being for leather
  4. Halitech
    I was always taught and told to use supershene as a resist, not tankote as it is too thick. Did you thin it with water or anything first? Although after seeing your tooling work, I think I'll give up now, your work is fantastic

    depends on the type of leather. If it's drum dyed veg tanned then yes. If it's drum dyed chrome tanned then no

    that's how most of my projects get started, a hare brained idea and a side of leather sitting here lol The trick to it is to hide any mistakes so that only you know where they are and everyone thinks it's the cats meow when they are given it or they buy it

    I've done the same thing, look around, take parts of this job, parts of another job and come up with something all yours. it's all part of developing your own style

    Those are great and I'd love to be able to that kind of braiding but doing a turks knot drives me nuts

    that's the great thing, no one is forced to use just what tandy provides, you can design your own to fit the size you want

    I think it depends on if you want to comply with the legalities of "Made in USA" or not. Assembled in USA for this case is closer to the truth but Made in USA sounds better. It comes down to if you want to sell things by being "Hand made in USA" or you want to tell your customers the truth that you assembled the bag with items made in Italy/France/Germany/China/where ever

    Are you referring to this kit? https://www.tandyleather.ca/en/product/money-clipper-kit It just depends on your definition of big. Considering the style pocket they use inside, the size is about right. If you wanted to cut the size down a bit, you could use the same size pocket on the inside as the one on the outside but you'd only save about 1/4" tops

    I have that middle stamp, what a Pita it was when I tried to use it but you did a great job with it as usual
  13. Halitech
    looking good and I think it's time to do some ordering from you
  14. Halitech
    I was wondering if that was the way you did it, very nice work.
  15. Halitech
    Nice work. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the eyelet in where the blade will run along it unless you used a wide welt to prevent the blade from hitting it
  16. Halitech
    Personally, I would use block out on what you want left natural, let it dry for a day, do a second coat and let it dry for a day then dye it black making sure to wipe off any that gets on the letters immediately

    I think someone is looking to get kicked from here

    ok, I thought I could make one out in one of the pics but not 100% sure so thought I'd ask. Those are cool knives and I'm sure she'll love the case that you made for her.
  19. Halitech
    Very nice. Love the stitching and the simple yet elegant stamping you did on it. Can't see the sides so I have to ask, did you include a welt in it to prevent the blade from cutting the thread?
  20. Halitech
    We have a pile of them too but I've only had 1 person ask me about putting a coin purse in a wallet. Most prefer to keep them in their pants pocket or dump them in a bowl when they get home. I may have to try your idea for the zippered pouch if I can find some short zippers
  21. Halitech
    very cool and I like the zippered pocket idea for a key and special keepsakes
  22. Halitech
    Interesting, I would never have thought about making a cover that way
  23. Halitech
    glue them and then stitch. Much easier then having the parts flopping around while trying to stitch them into place
  24. Halitech
    As usual Rohn, great work

    Congrats on the addition, hope you are ready for many sleepless nights lol The bag looks good, obviously you placed it so we can't see the flaws lol
