Does this technique work on vegtan leather ? I want to make a try...

Sounds great translating to portuguese too...lol

I think it is interesting. Not the sheath construction, but the embossing (??) It seems he uses no beveleing tool. Only a blunt tool ? Not a so great work, but I like the Thundercat...lol the sheath

I agree John, it is A LOT of videos to watch in just a month. I made thos questions to the library but they dont answer.. These videos are downlable or we can watch only on the site ?

I find this site.... I think a good source of inspiration to draw our own leaves and flowers http://www.vplants.org/plants/glossary/plate_all.html

Yep my friends !!! Tnak you for the replies. Today I'm thinking just like that. I have tons of scraps. I'll use that, and the best of all I'm recycling this material !!! Sorry for my bad English.

Hi. I want to give a try on embossing leather, but I dont know wich material could I use. I saw Clay's tutorial, and he uses leather dust and rubber cement. Since these materials aren't ready available for me, I wonder if can I use wood dust, and I think PVA glue to make the mixture....

Great Job !!!!

Im trying to do my own stamps. If you post some photos of the most used bevelers will be a great help for me. Thanks !!!!

Thanks for the replies. I supposed that to do this (using heat) could be a little to agressive method..... For my taste, and because here i don't have easy access to a variety of products, I prefer to use more traditional methods. I'll try the neatsfoot / beesswax formula. I made a similar, but include carnauba wax. Lobo, please show us your project when you finished it !!!

I saw some videos on Youtubeabout hot waxing knife sheaths..... Some questions about this. Does anyone use this ? Does use pure bees wax ? It is a bit expensive here, and turns solid in a few seconds after boiling it, so.... could I use another ingredient witrh the bees wax ? How to do ? I try it some time ago, and I make a mess on the kitchen owen . My wife becomes not much happy with this....lol If a make a caving on the leather, doesn't ruin it ? Doesn't affect the leather ? Does really make the sheath waterproof ? Thank you and excuse me about the lot of questions.

BEAUTIFUL work !!!!!

Hi. I want to make a laptop case but I want it stiff. I plan to use vegtan leather to the body and heavy suede to lining. I wondering if I need to put some material between the leather end the lining. Thanks !!

The topic of making our own tools is truly amazing. But. I need to makae a backgrounder tool. The tools that I have are some files and a Dremel. I dont have checkering files.... Some ideas to make one ? Thank you very much.

Hi... If you dont mind, could you send me this pattern too ? Im planing to dp something like this, but I never done anything using zippers... Thanks !!!!

I Really like the rawhide sheaths

Hi, I was wondering how can I start to learn to do some cases like these... I've seeing some custom work like theses that are very very beautiful. And very expensive too...lol http://www.browning....ather-gun-cases Thanks !!!!!

Hi, Here is a little difficult to get materials, tools etc.... I need some modeling tools and I have some copper rods (about 7mm diameter). So, I was wondering if could be a good material to make some of these tools... Thanks for advise.
