Thanks guys, do any of these darken the leather more than the others?

Can you guys tell me how I go about sealing tooled natural leather, meaning no dye or stain.

Some racing exhaust valves are filled with sodium because it helped in quicker dissipation of heat, these arent very common anymore and very seldom used in production cars.

Foam & More www.foamandupholstery.com use closed cell neoprene.

Thanks Mike, I think I'll do that instead , Id rather see Elllis get the money himself anyway

Sorry to keep asking, but if I buy from seigel do I have to be a member of the wholesale club to get the deal on these tools?

Thanks agaain

One more question, these were purchased from Seigel? I dont see them on there website. Rick

Thanks guyys, Im just trying to find something with a little bigger diameter, my hand cramps really bad using the crafttools. I think Im gonna order a set, I was just getting ready to order a set of hidecrafters pro stamps, they had a set of sheridan tools for 198, but I think Im gonna give these a try first, can they be ordered online or do you need to call?

Mike, could you post a pic of the tools themselves? Are they larger diameter than craftools?

Finished lacing...

Just finished lacing, here it is

Thanks guys Im still trying to figure out how to finish this, I sorta like the way its looking natural, would like some suggestions on maybe how i could antique it a little and still keep it undyed, also how and what do i seal something like this if it does stay natural

Just wanted to show a seat im working on, its a memorial seat for an Indian Larry fan

I just started tooling a new seat, if I gotta say so myself it really came out good. I would like to do something different for a finish, actually id really like to leave it natural can you guys give some advice on this, Id like to antique parts of it and still have a natural finish. Im not sure how to go about this, I have a jar of natural paste anitique that ive never tried, is this what this is used for? Also what would i use to seal and finish with. Its still a little damp from molding it thats why its discolored in the pic.

Great thanks for the info

Does anyone know where I can gt Herman Oak Leather in qtys of just oneor two sides? They have a minimum of ten sides.

Glad to see its not just me, I was planning on getting some of the hidecrafter pro series, I was thinking of buying there set of sheridan tools all 20 of the procrafter sheridan collection for $198 according to the website.

Is it just me or is it really hard to get a clean pattern with Tandy tri weave stamps? No matter how hard i try it seems the tool itself prevents a good crisp design. I know there has to be a reason for the major difference in prices between tandy stamps and other makers. Is the difference worth the price? Any suggestions on a good Tri Weave?

Thanks guys, any suggestion on a good lace cutter

Anyone know where to get 5/32 or 1/4 inch smooth leather lace, other than kangaroo? I had a bunch of spools of 5/32 from texas lace comp. but it appears they are no longer in business. Rick

What Id like to do is use neetsfoot oil to finish a piece, I see a lot of saddles and gun belts that are finished this way without dye. Im wondering if its possible to do a finish like this but also to use antique? If so would i antique and the use the oil? Do I need to seal the antique in some way before the oil bath?
