    Great review, Y. Thanks

    Thanks. Everyone has been wondering about it.

    Yep, most all of it was gone in 6 months. I have been fighting the last 20 pounds every since. But, I can live around 200.

    Really great job.

    Don't feel like the lone ranger, I had the same assumption about artisans. I was reading your post going, "yep, yep, that's on the money, yep." Nothing wrong with a little humility from time to time.

    I certainly haven't. I imagine they would be stapled in place and made of braided leather? Shouldn't be terribly hard to make. Any pictures?

    I certainly wouldn't back off, if I were you. Just add some more affordable items to your lineup. Keep those pricey ones handy though. Heck, slap a sold sticker on or two items. That will generate some interest.

    That all sounds like good stuff, but I'm just not in the need mode right now.

    Great job on the sheath. It seems that chiropractor created a lot of design problems for you by not thinning that thing down.

    I haven't really had a chance to try it. My friend and I got it turning ok, but it has been at his house ever since. It is a head only, but tables and servo motors are cheap. It was originally a walking foot binding machine without reverse. It will probably handle wallets fine. There isn't much in the way of information on the internet about it.

    I like Wuta things I haven't tried, Kevin Lee stuff, and as always anything from Terry Knipshield. Of course, it would depend on the time of the month when I would have extra cash. I get my commission checks the first Friday of a month.

    The machine I mentioned in the pm won't handle that weight. @koreric75 you got one that will work for this guy?
  13. bikermutt07
    Yeah I just missed it going up for sale. I guess our (yours and mine) shuffling around here was out of sync. I saw the other items, just nothing I am needing right now.

    Howdy Master Kate. Welcome aboard.

    Will the lid have sides that come down over the box? That's what I was meaning.

    Also, make sure to mention changes in your pitch. You will find people who think you can just throw something on anywhere in the process. Make it very clear to them that if they change their mind along the way, they have to pay for that also. Be firm, but fair.

    If it were me, I would follow what you are already doing. On a side note, if you did the apron on the lid in a black as with her name I think that would look pretty smart. Keep having fun. The elevated techniques will come with more practice. You can do this stuff for years learning something new on every different project.

    Ggggrrrrrr, missed it.

    Great thread, guys. I enjoyed the read.
  20. bikermutt07
    I don't have much experience with the finer thread sizes, but from what I have seen 3mm should be good for .55mm thread. I haven't seen an example of .51mm thread, but I know it looks good with .44mm thread as well. Wuta has a 3 piece awl set that should cover what you are needing in an awl for a reasonable price. But, after all that, it's all about how it looks to you.

    It may be more worthwhile to invest in a better tool rather than spend a lot of time on a cheap tool? If it is a cheaper tool. Kevin Lee from Crazy Cut Leather has some nice french edgers for about 40 bucks. .02

    Glad I could help.

    Yeah, I have gotten a lot of stuff from Taytools. They are some quality oriented folk. Most of their accuracy items are factory seconds, but are perfectly square flat whatever. I have had no complaints in dealing with them. They also have their own line of hand planes for a fraction of what other quality planes cost.
