    And that's only one of the reasons for him being a Wiz.

    I think you did well on your choices. On the stitching chisel\iron note. Wuta has some cheaper diamond chisels available on Amazon. They are fine. If I was doing this all over again I would probably buy the crimson hide pricking chisels. They are a cool hybrid between the two styles.

    It's wearable art. I would post it on my site as an example. Then, I would wear it everywhere I could. When they ask, "where'd you get that", I would just tell 'em, "I made it". And watch the orders pour in. Looks great.

    You may try a flooring wholesaler. Here in the states a company called PFS (professional flooring supply) carries similar staplers for rug binding. Good luck.

    I also have one from Slipknot. He only made a few of them. If I hadn't had that opportunity, I would have bought one from pro edge burnishers. I have a larger one from pro edge and it is great. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

    Oooooh, you are a devious one, Y. That is a great idea.

    Nice job. Thanks for including the rundown.

    That is a Perfect specimen.

    I started with the craft tool pro. I still think it's a good little awl. I have since lucked into a few from people on this site who do turning on a lathe. They are awesome.

    I think it is a box stitch. Look to Al Stohlman's "The Art of Hand Stitching". The box stitch as well as many others are covered. Good luck.

    I love it.

    Just apply a welt. It should be fine.

    It looks pretty good. It takes a long time to get all the little details down. I'm not there, either. Keep it up.

    Finally something close enough for me to attend, but I won't be able too. Good luck, Bob. I'm sure the turn out will be great.

    This question is asked a lot. Most popular reply? What do you want to make? If holsters and saddles are your thing, you need a big machine. Think cowboy 3500, 4500 or cobra 3 or 4. Investment? Over 2000.00 plus shipping. Wallets and flat goods? Consew 206-rb5 are popular at about 1200.00 plus shipping. These are walking foot machines and yes they are expensive. But you will need all the help you can get from them as well as a reputable seller. (Short answer) Don't buy off eBay. Buy from someone who not only supports this site, but customers as well. These guys step up before, after and even for noncustomers. Cowboy Bob, Cobra Steve, Uwe, Alex from solar machines. All great helpful guys. I'm sure there are more.

    No worries. I'm a Ruger lover too. I have wanted an Lcr since they came out.

    Ahhh, the ever damning "test drive".

    Great job.

    Well that is just cool. Why didn't I think of using Paracord. They have been putting it on everything for 10 years already (slaps forehead).

    Welcome aboard.

    Love it.
  23. bikermutt07
    Well, that's just completely Awesome. Great job.

    I have that one. Mine is made of beech. The cam didn't last long. The bracket that holds the cam to the base bent pretty fast. I am planning to rebuild the whole thing. Nice materials, but the execution was lacking. Hope yours is better.

    To avoid bouts of "sissy juice" I back my awl up with a wine cork. The only time it has poked me is during a sharpening session. Y, your stitching has reached stellar heights. It is a pleasure to see your pieces. Pleasurable, but frustrating at the same time. My stitching just can't compare. Kudos.
