    Wow great advice! You can use wing dividers and match them to the prongs of your iron and then use them to mark your holes around the corner. Then just punch with an awl like you normally would. Saves you some money from having to buy the 2 prong iron.

    Looks Great!

    Damn that sucks. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

    I feel like with thicker thread it is much easier to keep the threads oriented correctly in the hole as you pull them tight. With thinner thread I have to really slow down and make sure they stay oriented correctly. Many times if I put the second needle through the bottom of the hole as I pull the two threads through it flip flops and ends up on the top of the hole which ruins your stitch line. I need to just practice more (and more importantly take my time when I stitch). Hope that helps.

    Great! Can't wait to see it.

    I see what you did there Chief! LOL.

    On an unrelated note....its hilarious how close that arabic saying is the golden rule. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

    I agree with the above. Finish all the pieces completely and then assemble.
  11. Hi Im Joe
    I disagree with this. Diamond shaped holes are diamond shaped holes. There are a bunch of other ways to screw it up. So just saying its not the right tools doesn't really offer a solution.

    Thanks Bill! It was nice to use a piece of leather for something when I thought it was pretty much useless.

    Hi guys and gals, So I bought some tan Chromexcel "B" grade from Maverick recently. It had a couple pretty rough patches on the grain side so I decided to do a couple rough out items because it was the only thing I could think to do with it. I have a two pocket bifold wallet as well as a card case. I used a wire brush to get that fuzzy look on the flesh side. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking, Joe

    No problem man. I wish those came in nickel.
  15. Hi Im Joe
    http://www.mitchell-leather.com/Other_Products.php It looks the same as this one. So yeah probably placed on the outside but not sure if you crimp it or just use pressure.

    Perfect stitching is like a magical unicorn standing under a double rainbow.
  17. Hi Im Joe
    Right on! They look really nice overall. You did a great job.
  18. Hi Im Joe
    Did you stitch across the top of the bifold for looks? Or was there some functional purpose?
  19. Hi Im Joe
    The unfortunate answer is it depends. For example, if you go bungee jumping and sign a wavier saying if you die blah blah blah....but the guy forgets to clip you to the bungee...that waiver is totally worthless. The more complicated question becomes is can negligence on the part of maker be proven in court. It's pretty hard to prove negligence but strange things have happened with juries so many times I wouldn't want to bet my livelihood on it.

    Ah didn't think about minimum orders. Last time I ordered form them I bought a bunch of stuff so it didn't even enter my mind. Glad you found someone to help you out!

    Unfortunately, you are as liable as a court is willing to hold you. Common sense does not apply to the law.
  23. Hi Im Joe
    Yeah I don't think its the same design as Tiger Thread. Just thought you'd like another option.
  24. Hi Im Joe
    Some people have recommended the Maine Thread Co. waxed polycord. I am going to buy some because you can get a bundle for 20 bucks and its made in the USA.
  25. Hi Im Joe
    That's awesome! Great job!
