Gotta soak it in a bit of water before you put your crease in it. Gouging the back will help also. Then throw a spot of oil or conditioner on it once you have it folded.

Looks real nice so far. Outstanding job.

Jeez now I had to go and order some angelus dyes. Ahh well Ive been wanting to for a while. Very nice looking holsters. You have some great attention to detail and excellent coloring.

Yeah no kidding right. Atleast someone has the time to do cool stuff. I work to much lol. Hey you guys there are a bunch of site on this link. Alot of them are no more and alot deal with mass produced stuff but its worth a look thru. http://www.electroniccottage.com/leather.html

From what I understand that is allmost worse, if you have a bank account tied to your paypal account then they can freeze all money's tied to that paypal account which includes your bank account. I have read countless tales of poeple who had there checking and savings frozen because of a paypal dispute and the bank couldnt do a thing about it since you basically signed a contract with paypal. Thats the main reason that any bank account that I tie to paypal will be solely for that reason and no other. And I wont base a business or much else on it.

I dont know the language or understand it but thought these were some interesting leather work. I really like the boxes. http://www.artefact-leather.com/

Nothing better then black on black right. LOL Nicely done.

Just gotta throw my pennies around. Ian you do great work dont stop. (IMHO) Any person running a private business no matter what it is will have to deal with wholesalers and suppliers just like what your dealing with. The trick is to find the right one and hoepfully get a good thing going with them. My parents had a petshop for going on about 15yrs before they sold it. We allways had problems with deliveries, orders of fish ariving half dead, food worms arriving dead or that would only last about a day or two. Plants showing up in pieces. You name it and they saw it. We were fortunate because most of the dealers who delivered the stuff the guy delivering it also worked there so we could have a direct link to them when they showed up. Most of the time it was to tell them to give us a refund and dont bother calling again. Probably took about 5 yrs to get the right companies to deal with for everything we needed. Ofcourse then we had to compete with the chains like petsmart and the others and it was just too much. Anyways I know its not directly related but goes to show when you do more then show up and punch a time clock you gotta worry about alot of other things as well. Im finding that leather working is a tough business for us little poeple.

As usual that looks oustanding. Ofcourse questions for ya. Those liners can you dye them and what not?

Nicely done. I love the flowers, definatly a cool style.

Looks like you got it worked out pretty good. Nice job on the whole thing ecspecially for so short rush order.

I second that place. Did me good with what I ordered from them. Top quality stuff.

Not a pro but will add that its all up to the person making the seat and the preference of the person they are making it for. I have scene everything from 1/4" to 2" for the pan style seats. Go with what you think you will want. You could also when you order it get just 1" and double it up if you think you want it thicker. Using some M77 or similer the neoprene will stick to each other very very well.

THat is a very nice looking belt. Great idea with filling in the center to give it that slightly domed effect. On the lacing, did he burnish it a little after the lacing was finished or was that from when he was skiving and rounding it before He actually did the lace job. It has a nice darker shade on the outside edge of the belt that looks really good. Looks like alot of work but well worth it.

Looks like a real good start. Your stamping is very good and even. Im sure they like having you around making them stuff.

Do you have a picture by chance? I know Jordan makes some kick butt sandals. He may be able to help.

Hope someone gets them that uses them. If I had the time and money Id be on it (dont know why just would lol). Hey Azmal you done any more armor lately, havnt scene you post anything up. Allways loved watching your post, some great looking stuff.

Great looking buckle man. I allways loved the metal engraving. I just have enough hobbies/tasks/jobs as it is so I sit back and appreciate it. Hey maybe you could teach some of us a thing or two about keeping tools sharp since if I recall you guys gotta keep your blades extremely sharp if I remember right from reading up on it. I saved this link http://www.francolini.com/ I really like looking at his art work for inspiration. Gonna learn that style so I can one day do it in leather.

Thought this was way cool. Smart little critters. Vid gets better toward the second half.

Looks really good from what I can tell. Cool design ideas.

Leather will vary in how dry it is and many other reasons for stiffness as Josh pointed out. What I do is use about two coats of neatsfoot oil. Once that has fully dried and soaked in Ill come back and do a good coat of a conditioner like lexol. Too much oil and you can ruin it but the lexol or similer should soften it up a bit.

Hey Dan just wanna say that is some darn nice stitching. I think it looks outstanding but Im still a beginner so .....

Thats really good and I would not have thought to use water colors on leather. I guess you gotta remember its just a medium to use. Nicely done. I do wonder how well the water colors will stand up for something that is used. I know alot of them are water proof once dried and they should soak into the leather pretty good. Hmmm

Kind of strange, I have IE8 and FF and both allowed me to veiw it easily. I did email her though and directed her to the issue and this website so maybe shell stop by and register. Only thing is shes based in the netherlands so I hope she can read english. You know I was thinking you could dye it black then start high lighting with white. ALlmost looks like that was how it was done. Im not sure of how long that would last but thats probably how it was done.
