  1. Really nice Colt, The theme you have chosen is a good one indeed ! It looks nicely done too !
  2. The Creaser is basically a guide line marker. it could be used as you describe, But, I don't practice that method myself. I'm in favor of the groove.( it seats the stitches in the stitch line, and makes for a much neater apperaence). The grooved line is simply colored before stitching. There is a basic leather tool collection available on such as, Tandy Leather, E-Bay etc.i've seen them on Pinterest too ! Hope this might have helped in some way! --- Wild Bill46
  3. Maybe ? Seems, I saw someplace recently, there was a new Feibings green dye out ? There are so many colors in alcohol base now, If so, It would also seem, you might be able to dirty it up a bit with other like dye colors and come out with a shade of olive drab ? Haven't seen it, or looked for it myself, Might be worth looking into though. ? Might have been, I heard of it from Tandy ? A Google search lead me to a Fiebings Leather Dye color chart, which lists Kelly Green, Green, and Aqua Green ! Sorry this info is not of any precise help ! --- Wild Bill46
  4. I Welcome you to LWN also. I think, Twin Oaks has given you a great insight into your appropriate newby question, The best illistration I think I ever heard !

  9. That's one hell of a nice shop ! Huge Windows, Great views, not one, but Two Sewing machines, Even a Stitching Horse, with a nice Work Table and Bench.
