    Thanks for the heads-up on this!
  2. maxdaddy
    That's some nice engineering!

    That's a cool idea! I can't participate in this go-round, but it sounds like a fun way to bring the virtual and leather worlds together.

    Nice! Please post some pictures of it when you get it all setup in the final configuration as well. I've got my mind set on doing something similar and would love to see more of your build.

    I would try using the nail holes in the ornaments for stitching to the larger piece. It may not have the expected look, but it should be easy enough to try out and decide if you and the customer are OK with it. The picture is of an antler-handled beer mug I made a few years ago and it has a slotted concho stitched onto it, similar to how I'm suggesting. I punched holes around the perimeter and stitched through the leather all the way around. (There used to be a tassel hanging off of the conch slot but it suffered an alcohol-related demise.) The antler handle was contoured, drilled and then stitched to a smaller intermediate patch which was then stitched to the barrel of the mug. I'm showing this project simply as a means of offering another perspective to attaching unusual things to a leather project. I've stitched coins and conchos to other projects but can't find any pictures to show at the moment.

    I actually pull mine across a strop a few times before I start using them and then apply beeswax about every fifth hit.

    Wow! I love your work.

    Thanks for sharing that information. I'm sure that there's a laser cutter in my future and every time I watch one in action I think of several things that I could do with one. I like how you use it for a big variety of different jobs. It was obviously a good investment for your shop.

    I'm heading out to the shop now to see if i've got the raw materials on-hand to build my own. Thanks for sharing.

    Good stuff!
  13. maxdaddy
    No. I don't have any printed documentation for it. Good luck.
  14. maxdaddy
    Yes I still have the splitter.

    Nice flask! Would you mind providing some details on the aquarium paint? I seal my tankards and mugs with beeswax but am always looking for alternatives.

    Love the painted feathers!

    I bought several of them at Tandy's Black Friday sale when they were $10 and made a bunch of whisky tumblers with them. They made great Christmas gifts.

    Shabang! Leatherworks is what I decided to call my leather 'business'. I considered many alternate names that tied in some other areas of interest; guitars or computers. I'm a computer engineer in my day job and shabang had just enough geek potential to win the day. What's a shabang? Well, if you're writing a script (small program) on a unix computer system, the first line will contain the 'shabang'. It is a couple of characters (#!) that essentially tells the operating system how to interpret the script... which shell to run it in. The logo incorporates both the # and the !.... S#abang! My leatherworker.net handle, maxdaddy, is simply because I have a son named Max, and well, I'm his daddy. :-)

    Sorry, but no, I eBayed them.
  24. maxdaddy
    What purpose do the tabs serve?
  25. maxdaddy
    Dan, That's a wide variety of projects, and they're all nice! Please tell us more about the epoxy plates and how you made them.
