Day Planner Cover - Wip
Wild Bill46 replied to Halitech's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I like your planner overall ! Antiquing looks good too ! I can see and sympathize with you too. Ain't tiny intricate leather cuts a bummer ? I'm there too !The creaser is sometimes a problem too. I find that together with, constant concentration, coordination, and a craftsman's heart, and steady hands, are what makes leather working soooo very enjoyable for me. -- Wild Bill46- 9 replies

First Attempt At A Leather Jacket
Wild Bill46 replied to Alan Tesla's topic in Clothing, Jackets, Vests and Chaps
Seriously Impressive ! I like your jacket alot ! all nicely appointed too ! and I can see the reason for your wife's excitement. I will attempt a vest soon myself. Not intended as an invasion of your privacy But, Could I ask, where in NW Ga. are you ? Reason for asking is I'm in Summerville with more leather enthusiasts scattered around us.

Red Mini Bag
Wild Bill46 replied to huns's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Huns your still in the grove, with your handiwork, As stated "it will no doubt be as always Excellent" I'm really liking the sewn in stars/spots (if you will) for contrast w/red man it looks good too ! I'm curious too, How did you do the Handle ? ---- Wild Bill46 -
LeatherCollector and Windrider30 both used the correct wording IMPRESSIVE, very Impressive ! --------- Wild Bill46

Bag Angel.
Wild Bill46 replied to Samar's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I have to use the word Exquisite here, This is really great tooling, and actually a good idea for what I will term, a minimalist briefcase for paperwork. Is this its intended use ? Your craftsmanship is alive and well. Wild Bill46 -

Using A Creaser...does The Leather Have To Be Dampened?
Wild Bill46 replied to thekid77's topic in How Do I Do That?
Yup, Exactly as he described ! Perfect explanation ! ---------- Wild Bill46 -
To clean brushes and or equipment after you use them, As a rule of thumb, I use; whatever that medium calls for if its oil - I might use turps or turpintine, or Mineral spirits if its a water based paint such as acrylics - I use water if its Alcohol stain - I use Alcohol if its Oil stain - I use leather dye reducer Hope this might be the guide your needing. Good luck to you ----- Wild Bill46

Always heard of these, My mother is from the N.E. but this is my first visualization. Really nice leather idea. They look as if, moisture and snake bites might be thwarted even if somewhat ??. Thanx, for the experience in photos.. ------------ Wild Bill46

Book Cover
Wild Bill46 replied to venator's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I'm Quite impressed with the tooling on your front cover. truly a work by a craftsman, The gold sets it apart and the purple does take you away to a story book culture for sure. Nice concept, your friend will always love it ! - Wild Bill46 -
Yup, Apehangers are "bitchen" and a nice touch for a ride. Your bag is indeed a nice one, Nice work though, even though your time is rare. great work --- Wild Bill46

Second Project: Phone Slip Case
Wild Bill46 replied to YinTx's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I'm thinking you have a firm understanding of the term "ART". I think your color of choice works very well with heavy White thread, Indeed ! Your stitching out to edge might be a point of wear, if used very often ! Instead, back stitch a few holes to lock , this will correct your problem, and you'll be fine. Your edge slicking is very good for a second attempt. Stay at it, your ready to move ahead ! -- Wild Bill46 -
Maybe not your favorite thing, But, still nice looking, It shows your hard work ! and I'm quite sure Dillon will be comfortable with it too ! -- Wild Bill46

Matching Journal Covers...
Wild Bill46 replied to Eddie1968's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I enjoyed looking at your journals ! very nice ! In doing so, I noticed the acorns are at different strategic points on each , I'm guessing to make them each unique ? Still their a pleasure to look at, nice work -------- Wild Bill46 -
Recently, I wanted this question answered too, As something to use, and make for myself. Tree Reaper came to my rescue. Solution; simple wooden frame grooved for T-Track, T-Bolts, and Knobs for the size bolts used. I found them available at AMAZON, ROCKLER, WOODCRAFT then drill a simple 1-1/2" bar of thin/flat aluminum as a guide. Welah. works like a charm Thanx again Reaper Wild Bill46
