  1. Totally rocks! If not to late you should tool a stamp into it
  2. Nice find Ross. Imperical evidence seems to be lacking and it also seems we may have had the issue wrong in the first place. I went back to look at my needle files in the chrome tan roll I made a few years back. No issues at all
  3. i made a pair of leather sandals, died them and used atom wax, no sweat or water from walking through wet grass soaked into the leather, i wore these so much that the rubber sole (cheap tandy stuff) has actually worn through to the leather. I have had nothing but success with Atom wax and sno seal
  4. Ive had some of my carbon steel blades in veg tan sheaths for years now. Not problems thus far
  5. I have not experienced that at all. I drink a lot of water which I leave the fridge so it's always cold. My coaster gets used everyday. Hot and cold drinks (drunk from my leather wrapped mason jar) no issues at all
  6. I used atom wax and sno seal. Never had any issues with sweat
  7. First belt I ever made was square at the tip. Never had any issues with and wore it almost everyday for years. In fact I just recycled that belt for a leg tie down for another project. It lives on!
  8. Good question. As these leathers can also be tanned in other ways too.
  9. Make use of the warp. Add more (depending on where it is and how much it's warped). There is a market for asemetrical bowls and trays too.
  10. Etc etc etc. That sums up leather working pretty well
  11. These look great.
  12. I honestly believe that it's everyone's responsibility and right to know how to use blade and boomstick. You never know when you may need to eat to survive or deal with varmints
  13. That's some stunning work
  14. Yup Yup
  15. Very nice...how did you know the name of thr trout to do the initials?
  16. That is some sweet work man!
  17. Let us know what you guys choose!
  18. Cool shaped bookmarks. Leather tic-tac-toe games. Or since they are kids in sure they have electronics so maybe some tooled or cool looking cord wraps for gizmos
