Rotary cutters are excellent. Cuts using a straight edge go very quick especially with the larger cutters (2" + diameter). Blades are cheap because they last long if you use a cutting matt. On very tight inside corners, I cut the last 1/4" with sissor because the curve of the blade. my 2c Regis

Thanks all. I appreciate the clarifications. Regis

What is the difference between a matting and background stamps? I know a lot of stamps can be used in various situations to acheive specific design but, if it wasn't for the "A" or "M" I wouldn't know the difference between background and matting stamps. Does anyone? Is it simply traditional or is there some actual difference in functional ability between the 2? Curious, Regis

Those are great designs. Tell her "great work"! She'll soon need to get her own name (on this forum) and begin giving tips and helpful instruction.

Just talked to Carol Higgins and both Robert Beard and Jeff Mosby classes are cancelled at the IFoLG. None of the other classes are full "yet" so you can make changes. Sounded like Carol just got the info today and will be scrambling to work out changes. Regis

Pete, I expect Kevin will spend all day Monday, Tuesday,,, explaining this to folks rather than selling/helping on orders.

Less than 2 months now until IFoLG in Ft. Worth and I was wondering if many of our LW.net group are going. Is there an easy place/time to get togather as a group and meet? Or, perhaps some way to identify (e.g. large LWN on name badge)? Ideas? I'll be there eager to learn something.

Sad to hear that for him. I am registered for his class and guess I'll have to contact the IFoLG folks to find out what they plan. ......................ClayB.....have you offered to substitute? Regis

I have done similar with my rolling mill. Press various texture into gold & silver. My mill only does 4 inches wide though. I'll give it a try. Does anyone have an old ringer-washing maching :biggrin: (if you're old enough to know what that is)

I don't use thread very fast. I bought some quantity and colors that will last me a couple years. Is there harm in storing thread in plastic storage box where temperature may reach 100 degrees? I previously had a lot more air conditioned space than I now have : Thanks, Regis

Welcome Steve. If you don't yet know what leather work you want to try, then look over the teaser or showoff sections here at Leatherworker.net. You can get starter kits from Tandy and both Tandy & Hidecrafters have a lot of books. Hidecrafters have a lot of videos also.

Welcome Pip and glad to know you are helping children learn. Looks like you are off to a great start too.

I called 1-800-leatherworker. Selected "English" then "report a technical problem", then "0" to speak with a representative ........... some hours later ........ the alarm on my PC woke me and the forum was up and running..... :biggrin: . Maybe my snoring woke them up on the other end

JP, Welcome...wow 40 years of entheusiasm is great. I'm not a saddle & tac maker but I appreciate those that are.

Welcome. Was just in your area last week (Dacula / Hamilton Mills). This is great site to share ideas and work. Lookin' forward to seeing some of yours.

Thank you Dale. I really liked the whole process you layed out. I'm really glad you ented times. Helps me know that I work too fast for the experience I have and is probably the cause of most of my 'difficult' areas. What/how you transfered some details is interesting. Adding the photo with your hand & tool also helps by showing overall size perspective.

What a great peice of work! White thread was excellent choice for the pistol grip.

Absolutely great work. The edge design on the holster is really something (as is the finish on the sheath edge)! Regis
