  1. How much would they be with out the screen and speakers? Thanks, Phill
  2. I have 2 Cary Schwarz leather DVDS' for sale $60 shipped Disk 1 is shop tour and tool discussion Disck 2 is Leather discussion, hand sewing and finish work. Both disks are in excellent condition. Thanks, Phill
  3. Those look great!!! Very nice work!!
  4. There are some nice irons on Etsy by seller called goodnleather. I purchased a set. They are Benedicts irons. They are well made, polished and marked how many stitches per inch. They are stitching chisels and they work great. Just another alternative.
  5. I am using Osborne snaps. I think the well in the die is too deep.
  6. I have had the same issue. I chucked my dies up in the drill press and bring the top lip down just a little and then polish everything. It helped me.
  7. I use a similar mixture of bee's wax, paraffin and neats foot oil for burnishing wax. I have even tried adding dye to mixture for burnishing. It did not work as I hoped. I like to use Obenauf's for sealing leather after dying. It seals, protects and does not change the color of leather.
  8. Has anyone tried George Barta Hide Co in Petaluma ? They don't have a website and the place seems a bit questionable when I google it? Thanks, Phill
  9. Let us know when you get the new thread in. I will be interested. Thanks, Phill
  10. Do we get to see the tools and the reviews?
  11. Thanks you very much Tom! I appreciate it!!
  12. the cam clamp seems cool. Where would I pick one of those up?
  13. I use HDPE board. Purchased from Tap Plastics here in the Sacramento area. Can purchase from any plastic shop. No drag and keeps my knifes sharp.
  14. I like the Aquilim 315. I use the silicone brush. I purchased them from Lisa Sorrel. The brush is good. I let the glue dry and wipe off the brush with my fingers.. I like the Aquilim because of the no fumes/smell and it does not stain the leather. I found that barges will stain the leather if it gets on other parts of the leather. I have used weld wood in the green can. It works good but I find that it does not last long especially when it gets warm. I end up pulling it out of the glue pot in one big clump. I have never used Master Maxbond. Does it last long on the bench?
  15. What about a 20' container. I can find them around here around $1500 -$2000. Sometimes the 40' containers come up for the same price. You would have to wire in electrical. It can be painted to match the house. Delivery cost will depend on where the container if coming from.
  16. good people good leather. I get lost there sometimes. I recommend Hide House.
