    I'll take it. YinTx

    Thanks for the details. I had no idea folks were using velcro! Explains a lot. I like your idea for attaching a bit better. YinTx

    That is a whole lotta tooling! Nice work! YinTx

    Awesome work, that toe plug came out nice. YinTx

    Sanch, my apologies, it appears I may have inadvertently hijacked your thread, lol. I appear to have steered it from tiny tools to big horses heads and flowers! Looks pretty good. Linnell is like 6 hours up the road from me, perhaps I should take a trip and an extended class! YinTx

    I am always impressed by these things. How, may I ask, are they attached? YinTx

    Those came out great! YinTx

    Happened much sooner than expected! Was really different to do. Those long sweeping curves are unexpectedly challenging! define perfectly good? the new ones are pretty cheap in many ways. and I think the # is actually 104-2. YinTx

    Fantastic, thanks for sharing! Light came out pretty good...can feel the cold and wind too. YinTx

    Do you have the A102-2? It is already pretty small, and you could grind it down a bit smaller if you had to...if no, they are pretty readily available and not very expensive. Alternatively, a file and a tiny bolt and a bit of time.. you could have what you need. YinTx

    Nice work! What size are these panels that you make? YinTx

    Can you take a close up photo of the edge that you think is off? I'm having difficulty understanding your question, I think a different photo perspective may help my understanding... YinTx

    Most of my work has been small, but not very many tiny like that. The tools are useful when you need them. I plan to try some old style larger work here in the near future (as in sometime this year) since I have yet to do that type of work. YinTx

    Maybe this is the one you were looking for? YinTx

    I made a post some time back on a wallet I did with tiny stamps, and listed the ones I had used. Not sure if that is the one you are looking for, if so I'll try to find it. YinTx

    Neat design. One thing I have run into with these phone wallets is that the tab with the snap tends to either get in your face or snag hair if you have long hair if you talk on the phone. How does yours fare in this regard? YinTx

    Thanks! And I presume the blade is not your style? Oh, yeah, I'm never really _happy_ when my Spirit Stitch shows up, but I've come to expect it and accept it, because it's gonna be there, and it's proof I'm not perfect! YinTx

    Awesome gift, nice work! YinTx

    100% agree. Couldn't know that until it was there, then of course, too late. Grommet would have made it even worse. Frustrating for me, as I'd spent over 100 hours and lots of leather on this build, and already past the expected delivery time frame. For the small $$ I got for this, I had to call it done. Customer loved it, so onwards. If he didn't of course I'd do it again. Future designs I'll be doing differently. Appreciate the honest feedback. YinTx

    Oh yea, around the Sam Browne Stud is 10 spi. ! Awesome, I appreciate that. YinTx
  21. YinTx
    Appreciate it. Original design didn't have it in there, but he requested it, so I redid everything to accommodate. I didn't notice that, but you are right! I debated for a few days about whether to completely flatten the pattern inside, or leave the raised section in the middle. I opted for the raised, I think it gives it some dimensionality. Thank you. Wish I had seen yours, I could have maybe taken some design cues from it instead of starting from scratch! Thanks, and yes, for a leg tie. I liked the look without it, but then in this case, function trumped style, so there it is. Many thanks. I used 9 spi, and 532 Juane Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable. And I must say stitching through that thick of leather is a chore. Hands still hurt! Would not have been possible with any of my newer awls, had to use a very long very old blade. YinTx

    Thank you! and that would be the errant stitch that always makes an appearance in my work. Navajo rugs have a "Spirit Thread," and other cultures have similar themes to the imperfections that arise in crafted work. So I refer to it as my "Spirit Stitch." YinTx

    Thank you, and yes, I suspected it would be difficult, and I discussed this with him before I started on the design. Due to the knife shape, I also feared it would require a bit of finesse to insert and remove it from the sheath. It goes in and out better than I expected, and sits snugly. Interestingly, the tab kind of pops out of the hole on its own, you can kind of see that in one of the photos. I discussed with him that it would be in the way as you try to insert the knife as well, but in practice does not seem as bad as I told him it would be. Only time will tell how it works out for him. Wow, thanks! Journeyman maybe, only apprenticing I have done is via this site. Master level is a bit away for me though.. you should see the pile of bits and prototypes that stacked up as I made this one! I am glad you think so highly of it. We'll see this evening when I deliver it to the intended recipient how he likes it! Jeff, many thanks. It was an interesting blade for sure. YinTx

    Thank you. Unique shape and the most challenging aspect. Pretty thick at 0.22" as well. Every single piece of the 7 layers was cut, fit, cut, fit ad nauseam. But, it does now sit pretty snugly, no wobbling about. Thanks! I was reasonably happy with it. Some things I might do different in the future, but I think the customer will be happy. Appreciate it. Knife is in there, so maybe only bent the rule? Here's the overall look for you... YinTx

    Awesome work with exotics. Edge work on the ostrich looks like it is a bit of a challenge? I've not tried to do anything other than edge paint on it. YinTx
