  3. I believe Leather Crafters & Saddlers Journal ran a list of Craftaids some time back. Check with them.
  4. ! And What about Brett Bronson's knife? I spoke to him and he's an awfully nice person as well, I just don't know much about his knives? I have a Bronson knife, it holds a good edge, well made and good price. Almost as good as a Bill Buckman. If I need another round knife will be calling Bronson.

    Opening Pms

    Most of the time can not get to the PMs. The only thing to drop down is your profile most of the time. Have to sign out and back in and sometimes it will work. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you
  8. This has cleared things for me. Some things just look better than others, and now I see the why of it. Thank you.
  9. The pewter is very low temp. some will almost melt by a match. Brass is around 1500 to 1800f. for casting temp. Need different equipment to do the melting. The molds need to be better also. 100.00 to melt pewter, and 5000.00 for the equipment with brass.
  10. Pewter is not strong enough for good belt buckles. It is only good for light load items like conchos that have no pull on them.
  11. Wanted to buy Cranttool Co. USA #584. PM me if you want to sell one. Thank you
  12. Thank you ELeBlanc and shoepacher for the information. Elliot

    Hole Punch

    I call them a Whitney (SP) Hand punch. The Whitney made in US was a fine tool for metal. Have used imports that were at best Junk. For leather they will tear the hole not cut. Spend your money on drive punches. Elliot Can anyone tell me if these particular punches are good? Also is there a name for them? I can get one relatively cheap so I was looking for info on it, seems like a good idea for punching belts and straps. Thanks for looking. Kevin
  14. Just received my order from Maverick Leather . The leather was just as described, reasonable priced, and fast shipping. Will be ordering again.
  15. Thank you Looks like You are right in a Claes. Found some info and will dig deeper.
  16. This is a old shoe patchier But have no Name or tag on it. Three flat bars run the head, and are adjusted back at the flywheel. No needles, stand, or spare parts. Can anyone tell me more. See pictures Thank you
  17. When punching small holes, make sure the slugs are coming out. A little glue will plug them up and then split the punch. Use a small wire to check and push out the slugs. Have a punch like your picture not a Sargent, 6 tubes OO up to 5/32 Dim. Pm me if you want to buy.

    Help Needed

    Where are you located, and when is this needed? I may be chrome tanned leather and doesn't tool well or at all. It could be hot stamped or branded for what you want. Elliot
  19. When sewing leather and cloth together, which needle is best to use cloth or leather? Thank you
  20. I have a Tandy adjustable will give you for your daughter. PM sent
  21. When using modeling tool or spoon to transfer the pattern don't press any harder than needed. Pressing to hard will curl or break the craftaid. I like to use a roller.
