Point taken and assumptions have been made. Thanks

Is that in the U.P. ??? I'm snobby

Welcome to the forum. If you want higher quality and lower prices, you're going to have to pay that big shipping monster. Weaver has higher quality tools and supplies. They aren't really any cheaper than Tandy, but better stuff. As far as leather goes, look at the for sale sign in of this site. Some people have made some fine leathers available to us hobbyists pretty cheap. Good luck.

Got my scrap today and it is nice stuff. Plenty if nice pieces for a few sheaths and maybe a holster or two. If you are new to leather working, this is a great opportunity to get some quality veg tan without buying large pieces. Thanks.

See, I didn't know it had electrical internals in the head. But it looks like @Uwe found the easy button for ya.

I don't get it?

Am I missing something? Is there something requiring power in the head? If not, can't you just swap out the motor for a standard 110v servo?

That's a big ass honking wallet. I'm sure grandpa could swat a mugger with that thing. That has a lot going on in it. And maybe it's not perfect, but I'm sure you learned a lot. I applaud you for trying all the different techniques at once. Very ballsy. The edge paint looks good, I haven't ever tried it. And all your pockets look good. I also like the two tone brown, it works. Thanks for sharing.

Those are fantastic, Dwight.

That looks very strong. That looks very strong.

Those are fabulous.

Glad everyone is enjoying this.

Fishy fishy fishy..... Looks great.

Looking good.

Oh crap were we supposed to buy a Corvette instead of this? Glad you dig it, Munk.

Only took 4 years to learn how to use them. Now I'm burning them up.

That is awesome.

Great job, Alpha.

Whipper Snapper, look out!

If this is what folks are using to apply dyes and finishes, I would love some. Glad to pay for smallish pieces. Is 10 pounds of it too much to have on hand?

Is this sheep's wool?

The food, I'm sure. Thanks for the participation guys. Ooooooo I'm right there with ya.

I was kind of wondering what age group are you in? You don't have to give your specific age, but if you would help me put perspective on who is talking, I would like it. I am 44 = old enough to know better, and starting to care.

I would start out with two inexpensive books. The art of Handsewing and this one. You can get both of these books for about 40 bucks. These two books will give you a great head start on what and why you need certain tools. Good luck.
