Got you beat a bit Tom, I am 46 and still a head banger too! Rockin Roll! Bang your head wake the dead Metal health it drives you mad, NuVikingKnives Welcome to the list

I have not seen one in use but I do know people who look for those door knobs at auctions to use on their leather work. Some thing for saddles I think i heard mention

Is there anyone on this list that will help me I have now posted this question on two different place where some one made Chaps or Chinks. Is there anyone who will explain to me how to do the laceing that attaches the back strap to the leg of the chaps that looks kind of like a chevron?

Can some one tell me how to attach the back to the sides like this it laced. Need to get mine done tonight HELP!!!!

How do you do the lacing that holds the legs to the back strap?

is this what you are talking about? this was most of the way down this page. http://leatherworker.net/forum/lofiversion....php?t1458.html From Bruce Johnson Mar 3 2008, 11:15 AM QUOTE(whinewine @ Mar 1 2008, 02:16 PM) * roo, sorry to pop in, but it looks like a fordham (a flexible shaft dremel tool on steroids) Actually it is a flexible rotary shaft tool. The handle oscillates and has a large enough chuck to put stamping tools in it. The tool then oscillates. They used to sell these under the trade name of "SpeedStamper" in the LCSJ. Not anything you couldn't buy from other sources, although the large chuck oscillating handpiece might be a bit of a hunt. Some guys who do silver work have their stamping tool shafts turned down to fit the Gravermax handles as well. Barry was even making tools with thin shafts to fit the graver handles. All of my bevelers fit this particular handle with no modifications. I bought this right after I dislocated my thumb, and it helped take some of the heat off. It is good for repetitve stamping of "walking" tools like bevelers. I know guys who pear shade with them too. Basically you just run it down the cut line to bevel. I did a bunch of winelist covers last year for a restaurant, and had a lot of beadline borders with light beveling on the inside and outside of the beadlines. This makes that kind of beveling fly, and less fatiguing. Not the tool for everyone or used everyday, but nice to have when you do need it. tazzmann

I have never used them either but have heard of them. Here I just found this http://www.angelusshoepolish.com/

please explain how you use your dremel. What tips you use and such. I have heard many people talk about using one yet no one has explained this to me.

Very cool! Love them. Looking forward to seeing more!

Like your chinks. Finishing up my first pair of chaps. Have to ask, did you hand or machine sew them?

Very Cool! Does the tooling pattern wrap around the bottom and can we see it?

Welcome to the site! Know you will love it here, everyone is so helpful.

I have a set of them from Robert Beard of Pro Series tools which is where the master set came from that Hide Crafter made their version of the set from. I love them. The tools are very easy to run. You just randomly turn the tools as you cover the area the you are wanting to fill. Robert has two versions of this tool. A pebble tool that all the pebbles are of similar size and the combo pebble tool that they are a variety of mixed sizes on the tool face. Robert is hoping to have pictures of all of his tool impression in the catalog by the end of the year.

sewing the Stingray, did you use a dremel to knock the tops off of the bumps along the stitch line? I have always heard that was what to do so you will not break a machine needle on them.

Love the shirt! Hand sewn? and the knife sheath how is it held together?

So where is the tutorial on doing the bear claws???/

Welcome to the group. Nice pool cases.

Jeff Mosby also made mine, All I wanted was my initial of my last name(866) 205-9810 I stamped it kinda crooked

Hum, here in CA it is 55 now expecting 72 with a low of 46. Expecting this kind of weather all week. Sounds like all of you should come out here for a visit.

Me, I got to have my XM radio. Although it's not free I listen to it online at work, in the car and at home. Can't stand commercials! Bob Beard turned me on to it.

you could also try searching drawer pulls like this link. http://www.rufkahrs.com/index.htm

Anne and I will come, and we promise to be good. For a while. Kathy Now Kathy, don't make promises for me everyone knows I can't keep! if it's only for a while..... better be something like 5 seconds! Clay knows me better than that. Me be good? :angel_not: .... like that ever happens! So I just try to be good at it being BAD!

Oh what cause you think we throw like girls? We know where to find you!!!! and WHAT ME HECKLE YOU???? Please. I have seen enough of your work for the past 5 yrs that you should be teaching. Your lessons here are Great!!! Just picture a class full of me and kathy's.

Just a thought, but I would think about using a matter beveler to get rid of the halo'd area would look nicer and make it appear to have more depth to the carving.

So Clay when are you going to start teaching in person? Don't you think it is about time to! Anne
