Really mean thank you. I'm new and really like to find this stuff. I really do appreciate it.

I would just like to say thank you to Tboyce. As a guy just starting out and not sure if this is the thing or not it's great to have a couple of patterns, and ideas to take a shot at. I really appreciate it. You truly are a gentleman and a scholar.

Well, I have also just started on this road and in 3 months of doing this I am well over $1000, I don't have much. I found a pretty deluxe starter kit on eBay. Most of the tools are halfway decent, some are not,but it did come with the Japanese style leather knife which is pretty cool. IMHO this is like anything else arty or crafty, it's a ton of practice, picking up a few scrap bags from Tandy to practice the cutting and stamping on is what I did and continue to grab little scraps to test out this and that. I don't think calling yourself an expert at anything is proper. I have been an auto tech for 25 years and while I am very good at what I do, I am not an expert, or if I am, I'm not saying I am.

Lighter Pouch
Ta2ooz replied to venator's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Pretty cool. I like the contrasting thread. -
Thanks Tramps, that's what I was thinking too. The oil side was on special and I wanted something pretty heavy, just in case God forbid, I hit the concrete. I liked the colour of it and it's more of a semi flat hot rod finish to it. I'll try some saddle soap.

So I am new and I am making my first vest, I took the pattern from an old one I have and I am using a black oil side. I chose this because it is going to be used in the weather and I don't really want to be concerned with It getting wet. It is quite thick and I am planning on attaching a liner to it somehow. Now to the questions. Is there a finish or possibly a cleaner to take the oily feeling off of the surface. And with the thickness of it and a liner I was thinking of lacing it in. Opinions?

Ta2ooz replied to tboyce's topic in Patterns and Templates
Just think of the possibilities, you could, fix a car, use a lathe,weld. Well with proper PPE of course. -

+1 on the nice bag. No thanks on the apes, maybe a baby ape but my hands fall asleep that high up.
