    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

    looking good and I think it's time to do some ordering from you

    I was wondering if that was the way you did it, very nice work.

    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

    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

    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.

    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?

    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
  13. Halitech
    very cool and I like the zippered pocket idea for a key and special keepsakes

    Interesting, I would never have thought about making a cover that way

    glue them and then stitch. Much easier then having the parts flopping around while trying to stitch them into place

    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

    The fix for everything, dye it black* lol I did that the other day myself. For some reason I was thinking I was supposed to make something in dark brown, turns out is was supposed to be black. I did 2 coats of black and was good to go. *Obviously only works if it was dyed any color but black to start

    Any time you dye or tool leather, you take oils out of the leather so that is why you want to treat with EVOO or neatsfoot oil or similar before putting the top finish on. Just don't believe what some say, neatsfoot oil is not a finish.
  21. Halitech
    if you are soaking it for a long time in the baking soda, you are throwing the ph way off and that could be why it's affecting the leather the way it is. Equal time in both baths is all that is required then allow it to dry for at least a day before doing anything else to it. And I've never had anything rust that I've used with it
  22. Halitech
    You don't need to soak it for a long time in the baking soda solution. If you dunk it for 5 minutes in the vinegaroon, then 5 minutes in the baking soda is all that's needed.

    nice work kiwi, try doing it on a full 48" belt
