Where do you buy Nomex from, Barra? Tony.

I make a fair bit of strapping for gallopers and harness horses and I find the nylon handles wear and tear a lot better than the poly. Tony.

A friend of mine tried the Swine Flu hotline but all he got was Crackling!!! Tony.

Ed, you didn't answer my question re. the servo motor! Tony.

Ed, do you mean the servo motor uses power when it is not in use? I have no idea what amount of power is used in my workshop but the house and workshop usually runs 750 - 800 dollars a quarter. Tony.

Like it. It looks great! Tony.

I don't know really, as I've only ever used John James awl blades. They come in diff lengths which is good. Tony.

Isn't that sort of thing called a Caparison? Tony.

I would hope they'd remember me as a "Silly old bastard, not a miserable old bastard" Tony.

I like to use canvas point as the leatherpoint needles sometimes cut the nylon inner webbing. I do about 8 to the inch. Tony.

That looks like an overlocker to me. Tony.

It looks pretty new! Tony.

Hi Terry. The press I have is identical to yours. I did have one about 3 feet x 2 feet and it took up too much room. I bought 3 presses from the Uni when they had a sale. A small one, the one I still use and the big one. It is very handy at times. Tony.

Ryano, I would like that recipe if you don't mind, please. Tony.

I think Biothane may be the same as PVC webbing that we use down here and I sew lots of it. I just use a metric 20 nylon thread and a #180 - #200 canvas point needle and it works just fine. Tony.

I can't imagine cutting leather in a serious fashion with anything but a round or head knife. Most items I cut out need to be skived on one end and I already have the knife in my hand to do that job with, I don't need to pick up another tool to skive anything with. I can straighten a side of leather after marking a line and sticking to the line and get a straight cut every time. You must have a sharp knife though, to do the job correctly, that is all. Tony.

Looks good Josh. What holds the coin in the leather? Tony.

But, does anybody import it and retail it in the states? Tony.

You're a real character, Jim. Tony.

What does 'roo hide actually cost over there in the states? Tony.

I would not have stopped the grooves abruptly like you have. I would have run the groove around the curve of the end of the belt. Pretty good though. Tony.

I'm sure that Badger wont be trading his BRITISH made Pearson for a Highlead, will you Badger? Tony.

We have a Californian houseguest for a couple of days while she tours the state. Her name is Sandy Arledge and she shows and trains horses in California. If anyone here knows her and wants to say hello, feel free to do so. She arrives tomorrow night. Tony.

Is muriatic acid what is otherwise known as soldering fluid? Tony.

That is very nice, Josh! Tony.
