Does Angelus make a dye thats comparable to Fiebings Buckskin? looking at the samples online it seems the honey might be closest but Im not sure how true these colors are online.

Be sure to let us know if you decide to make some of these for sale

Ed, I do have two 7's so if your still looking I definately am interested been trying to finf a 9 for about a year with no luck

Thanks Max

Thanks Roo

Thanks Boss, what style of Jiujitsu do you take?

Thanks Moe, I think between the two it was around 25-30 hours. Just a project I went back and forth to in between commissioned seats. I'll get a pic of the inside tomorrow and post it. Still debating on lining it, got some heavy oil tanned suede thats a sand color laying around, I think it'd be a nice touch to cover up all the chicago screw heads in there. Got another seat thats sharkskin inlayed, I think Im gonna do a matching bag for it too

Thanks Bro Thanks Freak, I dyed everthing that needed to be dyed before any assembly, This was Angelus Dark Brown, the more of the Angelus dyes I use the harder it is to go back to Feibings Thank you Dave, cant begin to tell you what its like getting comps from you, honestly seeing your work and Christians from Xian leather is what got me into this in the first place.

one more

Just about done gotta make a couple more straps for fastening toolbag but the hard work is done

Thanks for the help

Who carries the best quality chicago screws, I dont remember where I got my last batch but the slots in the head are super shallow and so is the dome itself, not happy with them at all.

Can I ask you guys what you use to thin Angelus dye?

Thanks Kevin, what Im mainly concerned with is keeping the antiquing where it belongs, as you know most of what I do is motorcycle seats and I tell everyone to stash a plastic shower cap on the bike in case they get caught in a downpour to slip it over the seat, but sooner or later theyre bound to catch a few drops, and after spending so much energy trying to convince people to go with a natural finish as opposed to just dying the whole thing black, Id hate to have em come back at me with a bunch of antique runs all over the seat. And thanks for asking about the spill, the spill itself hasnt done as big a number on us as the president has with stopping everyone from making a living. Im sure the intention was good but not to sure alotta thought was given to the results. Im still working but its on the cleanup side of things. Oh forgot, what do you use to thin it with? and what kinda ratio?

when doing a sheridan finish after oiling and antiquing is all that is required to seal the antique just a coat of Neat Lac?

I use a premium bullhide shoulders and butts from Zack Whites all the time, love to stuff, comes in all weights and has nice clean pasted backs. http://www.zackwhite...me.php?cat=1107

Check Barrys site his 4 piece sets are $110

Tim, I dont think you can beat Barry King for the price

I keep seeing these on Ebay, seems like a pretty neat idea and was wondering if anyone has tried them yet. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BISSONNETTE-SAFETY-LEATHER-EDGER-TOOL-4-SIZES-/350363219304?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5193467568

I use alot of dark & medium brown, I usually airbrush these in a fade. Also like saddle tan and walnut. Sorta got away from black dye because I mostly build cycle seats and the rub off is a problem, whenever I get a request for black I now use vinagroon

Thanks Troy

Thanks Outlaw, Im gonna try and figure out a matching toolbag this week

Thanks Roo

Thanks Max, holster sits pretty good, not the easiest thing to get threaded on the belt and through the belt loops though, design may need some tweaking Thanks DS beginning to see that lacing goes alot easier when you use kangaroo.
