That is freaking adorable!

Have you tried deglazing it first? -
New "biker Soul" Long Wallet
Tinkerton replied to pzarkov's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Gorgeous work. I really like the heart and engine combo as well. Where did you get that awesome v-twin concho? -
For mine, I found a cheap second hand vest that fit me well and used that as my pattern.
-
Personally I would get it checked and if it is legit, hold onto it. It's surprising what you can find in second hand stores. I scored an older legit Burberry London purse in a Value Village for $20CAN

These are lovely. How big are they?
-
I second the tailor's tape. Easy and inexpensive solution.

Hey Dwight, what wood works the best?

Depending on what you're looking for, I've found I really like the Yamaha cruisers. I'm thinking that when I finally upgrade, my next bike is going to be a Bolt.
-
Wow. Can I come play at your house?
-
Thanks!

what's the difference between a round knife and a head knife?
-
Tooling looks good. Shame about the bike. What are you thinking of getting next?
-
Thanks Bruce. Looks like I'm leaning towards a 16oz tapered. I have some shoulder problems too, and have had some issues holding my elbow up with my 9oz mallet for long periods, let alone a heavier maul. At least with a maul I won's have to swing as hard to get a good impression, so maybe that'll make up for it.

I was introduced to leatherwork at Fan Expo at one of the steampunk seminars. Zoe rocks, btw.

There is a plethora of nerd related expositions, societies, groups, and gatherings for nerds and geeks to fully embrace their passions for all things fanboy. There's the San Diego Comic Con, Toronto Fan Expo, Anime North, The Toronto Steampunk Society, just to name a few.

I'm looking into upgrading my rawhide mallet for a 14 or 16oz maul, but there are a few things I am unsure about. What's the difference between a tapered and a round maul? How should it be balanced? Does the material it's made from make a difference? I'm fairly little with hands to match, is there a decent brand that offers a smaller diameter handle? Cheers, Tinkerton

Coasters And Just Coasters?
Tinkerton replied to Stewart's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I really like the hummingbird one as well. The border is beautifully delicate looking and nicely complements the stronger lines of the centre bird -
I really like how the stitching creates a decorative pattern on it. Great looking piece

Biker Get Back Whip How To And Size Material
Tinkerton replied to mason HFFH's topic in How Do I Do That?
http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/home/department/books-patterns/lacing-braiding/66021-00.aspx I have this book and I've found it to be very helpfull as well as easy to follow. This one is decent too, but I found I had to go through and colour-code the diagrams to make them easier to follow. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/home/department/books-patterns/lacing-braiding/6022-00.aspx Cheers, Tinkerton -
Depending how sturdy the leather is, maybe a belt sander would work for trimming. Mark out on the leather where you want the final edge to be(perhaps with a pen or with masking tape) and sand down to it.

Did a quick search and found this one: http://www.macpheeworkshop.com/shop/Patterns/Other/p/901-Making-Moccasins--Mukluks.htm

Ok, that makes more sense. I looked on leathercraft library at the original, and even those dimentions look really wonky. It's alomst like they just winged it and didn't draft it from an actual human form.
-
Looks good, but doesn't really fit her properly.
-
Does anyone have any good recommendations for legging-style motorcycle chap patterns? I have a bit of a hard time finding ones that fit me properly as I am rather petite, so I wouldn't mind having a go at making my own. Cheers, Tinkerton
