I donated one of my Dopp kits to a charity auction, and subsequently received a few more requests ..... Veg-tan from Sepici Brothers (Turkey) ..... #10 YKK brass zipper ..... accent leather on the one is from The Hide House.

Beautiful!

Thanks .... And yes, funny you mention the fringe .... That was one of my mistakes .... I caught myself on the first leg making the angle mistake ..... The other leg worked out fine and looks as it should .....

Hello All .... Haven't posted in a while, but things slowed down enough here that I was able to get a pair of chinks off the bench .... Basic, sand bullhide, with the same dyed for the yoke, side panel, and leg stiffener. stainless steel conchos and buckles. First pair, so there are a few mistakes, but that is what how one learns ..... pattern based off Cow Camp Saddlery, and a few pairs of my cowboy friends ..... Happy Thanksgiving to all .....Don

Thank you Uwe!

Hello All ..... I recently acquired a Juki 1508NH ..... It has the top load bobbin, and my question is .... Can you adjust the bobbin tension, like you can on a side load bobbin with the bobbin case. Thanks.

Nice work!

Had an order for 3 tall bi-folds that I thought I would show here, plus I am also messing with some different photo editing software...........Blue french veg-tan .... Black Horween chromexcel horsefront .... Brown Horween chromexcel horsefront....all with pigskin lining and sewn on my Ferdco 206 HL with 92 bonded polyester thread. This pattern comes from Make-Supply.Thanks for looking..........Don

Hello All ... I make tool rolls for chisels, wrenches, etc and I have a tool roll question re. stamps.......If I were to make a tool roll to hold some leatherwork stamps, how many stamps should it hold? My leatherworking stamps never leave my shop, but I guess there are leather workers that take their stamps elsewhere to work.....or might just want a tool roll to house them. Thanks for any and all advice.........Don

All spoken for ......

"A - C - D" are gone... "B" still available.....

Hello All ...... Natural beeswax chunks from the beekeeper who has bees on our ranch......I use it on a regular basis for burnishing and it works great. A & B are 15-16 ounces ........... C & D are 8-9 ounces.......A & B .... $15 C & D ..... $10 Price includes shipping. Paypal is best ...... Probably the last bit of beeswax you'll need for a while.

More than anything I wanted to put a shout out to MudBugWill for this leather....received some of his Italian veg tan in navy blue. Beautiful stuff! With it I made a wallet that is based on a design from Makesupply. It is supposed to be a six pockets....I made it with only four pockets vs. the six in the original design.

Thanks....and yes, they are Horse Shoe brand.

Nice work.....you've been busy!

Had some time to get these done, now that the busy season is over on the ranch....a set of ladies spur straps.....veg tan from Hide House Napa......basketweave....Jeremiah Watt buckles.....pretty basic but very functional. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Being a rancher, and a boot wearer.....those are fantastic, especially the ropers!

Have one chunk/pile left. Same amount as the others.

Meggan and fanninator........messages sent to both of you.....Don

"B & C" are spoken for....."A" still available....

YinTx ..... I can answer two of your questions .... It is indeed made in the USA The piles are 10oz. ea. I cannot answer your brood/propolis question as I don't know that answer. I can try to find out for you, but the beekeeper taking care of these bees is Ukranian and there is a language gap.....for $10, give it a try....can't be as bad as the mistake we both made with the Horween from Cascadian! : - )

Hello All ... we have honey bees on our ranch and the beekeeper brings me beeswax that I use for burnishing etc......I have more than I can use so I am going to share some....$10 for each of A, B, or C .... includes shipping. paypal is best .... message me if interested.........Don

What do you have available with a nice firm temper? Can you split to 2.5 - 3.5oz? Thanks. Don

Very nice....you say it is bridle leather....English bridle? And if so, how was it to tool?

Thanks for the suggestions....I have used edge paint before, but not on this leather....might have to give it a try.... I understand completely what you are saying about the Horween, but it was purchased for lining exclusively. It is nice stuff, but has quite a few flaws and is not considered a no. 1 quality. I have used it in conjunction with some other Horween for wallets.....plus, I did not pay all that much for it. I will though give calf a try.
