  9. Hi there. Here's two pair of bracers i've made last summer. They are quite thins (4 oz) and are just to flash of ;-)
  10. Yes, it's paste like. It contains bee's wax. It's spreading well, but rubbing it all over, is very long.
  11. Chris: Thank you! Richard: Merci pour tes commentaires :-) Les petites flasques, je les achète au Dollorama Elle sont 2$ et se décorent très bien avec du cuir. To all: I've just said to Richard that the little 5 oz flasks where bought 2$ each. I then cut my leather and carve them. Look for them in your dollar store if you have such stor in the US.
  12. Good afternoon. As i am making more belts, i'm looking for a way to speed up the finishing process. For all my letaher prodcuts, i'm using Fiebing Aussie. I give it two coats and let both coat dry before adding the next one. While looking great and being a good way to reppel water, on medieval belt that are usually longer than 70 inches, i must admit that rubbing Fiebing Aussie all the way to the end is pretty longer that on short belt of day-to-day wear. So i'm here, looking for a way to speed-up the finishing process. If this finishing is also good for other products, i will give it a try. In return, if i can be of any advice or if you would like to have short text translated correctly from french to english, i'm more than willing to help. Many thanks and have a great day.
  13. Happy mothers day to all moms on the forum :-)

  14. Good evening. Here's some pictures of my latest work. Lots of flasks because they are easy to make and are very attractive. Also, my old billfold was out of order, so, i've decided to make my own, based on some heraldry and celtic design. I also made another billfold for a customer and a collar for a friend of mine.
  15. And for those whos like the music, here's a link to some of them. They ares free, legal and hosted on a safe page: http://stronghold.heavengames.com/fair/interviews/shmusic http://stronghold.heavengames.com/fair/interviews/crusadermusic Enjoy!
  16. Thank you Luke. I'm not be able to build a saddle, but i'm good at what i'm making. Following the positive feedback I received from my friends and my clients, I decided to start my small business. I'm still in the edcuation field, but as my hours have dropped to 23h/week to 20h/week, i think that was the perfect time for such a move! At first, i wa slooking for godaddy.com, but by reading comments from ex-customers, i have decided to do businness with another companie.
  17. Hi! My sister in law introduced me to this site: http://www.vistaprint.com/ For about a week i have created my business cards and built my website. With few options, I was able to make my site bilingual. This company offers excellent service. Here's a preview of my site: http://www.cuirduleu.com Right now, i'm pretty happy with this company. Hope this information will help you.
  18. 'm sick and tired by the hostile attitude of my fellow french-Quebecers. They hate so much our prime minister Mr. Harper. I'm ashamed of being french-canadian :-(

    Hi everyone. It's been a while since i did not post any of my work or any comments. But still, i keep checking the forum from time to time. I was wondering if Weaver will accept the average leatherworker like myself, or if it's only for leatherworkers who have business number or tax number. They have somme tools and leather i would like to buy. Thank's
