Old school Weaver creaser (like a Randall)
ChaChi replied to ChaChi's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
And when I say “old school”, I’m not referring to the age of the machine. Just that it’s nothing like their new machine that only has one wheel at a time mounted to it. This one is built similar to the the Randall creasers from pre 1900 -
I’ve purchased a Weaver Master Tool creaser machine from another leather worker that bought it new around 2008 or so. I’m curious if anyone has one that I can see mounted on a table and can give me some insight to it. Maybe I’m calling it by the wrong name, but it’s very similar to the Randall 1887 creaser he replaced this one with when he bought out an old harness maker’s shop. I can’t find ANYTHING about it online. Just videos of weavers new single wheel machines. Nobody at Weaver that I’ve spoken with knows about it either

How Do You All Handle Shipping?
ChaChi replied to SooperJake's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I use only USPS Priority Mail. I sometimes use their free packaging but normally use my own boxes with their tape and labeling (free also BTW) for WAY cheaper than the flat rate boxes. Our items typically don't weigh much, so the postage for actual weight in your own box is considerably less. And you still get all the Priority Mail perks like 2 day the guarantee, etc. -

My favorite so far. Black pancake with brown lizard (I think) overlay and pigskin lining. It's SO smooth and snaps right in. Gotta make a new gun belt now! Another I made to match my gun belt, Burgundy bridle leather with stamped overlay. This will be my EDC rig And one I made yesterday for my wife as her EDC. It's by no means perfect and has allowed me to adjust my template for future sub-compact rigs. She loved it as her Valentine's Day gift this morning My first 1911 prototype with a little DTOM flair. This has WAY too much cant for me and was made in haste from scrap. But it served it purpose. Kind of embarased to even show it.

New Custom Uk Wildcat Suspenders

Yes, except I cut out the area for the patch before gluing and sewing it to the pigskin -
New Custom Uk Wildcat Suspenders

No the pigskin is completely hidden inside 2 pieces of veg tan and can't be seen.Its the same size as the veg tan pieces. The white stitch around the patch goes through the outer veg tan and the pigskin but not through the inner veg tan. Only the stitching around the outer edge of the back piece goes through both outer and inner pieces with the pigskin sandwiched in between
