No need to case for that long. Hours is more than enough, certainly days is unnecessary. Also, don't re-use the baggies. If you insist on letting the projects sit that long, perhaps a touch of bleach in the water?

You have to search for them on the site. Just downloaded this.....

There is another thread on this subject. Goodsjapan.com has them. Yes, diamond-shaped teeth for saddle stitching.

I don't think you ever answered the question of which Fiebings dye you are using. Which is it?

How to add a divider to a bag with a gusset
Tugadude replied to pzampino's topic in How Do I Do That?
Just thought of another method. If the gusset leather is thin enough, fold it outside in and stitch about 1/2" back from the fold. Then you can attach the divider to the folded part and there will be no seam on the outside to show, just crease similar to a turned bag. -
How to add a divider to a bag with a gusset
Tugadude replied to pzampino's topic in How Do I Do That?
Two ways jump out to me. One is to do two gussets with a divider in the middle. The other way is to attach the divider to the front or back panel of the bag. That way you only have one gusset, but there will be 3 layers of leather at either the front or back edges. This divider can be tight and function as a slim pocket or you can allow a little excess width and it will expand up towards the middle of the gusset. I suppose a third way would be to sew a divider to the gusset, but you'd see the stitching line. Now if you are using a liner, you have tons of options. -

Carguy, they are called harness needles.

Just stunning. I'm not a huge fan of lacing, but you can lace so well I might have to change my mind on that.

Electrathon is right on. Stitching is both functional and aesthetic, unless it is hidden out of sight. Saddle stitching, what you refer to as two needle stitching looks far superior to a line of stitching created by a stitching awl. But to each his/her own.
-
I'm wondering what you are using that awl for. Can you enlighten me?

motorcycle First tool bag (simple)
Tugadude replied to OneRedBear's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
Great looking, functional tool bag. I like winging it too. But generally I will cut it out on templates first. That might have solved your flap shortage issue. Keep up the great work! Maybe the next one will feature some colored accents, monogram or something else fun. -
I think it is awesome and agree with the comments above. My dad and my uncle used to cut cord wood on the farm with a 2 man saw. What they wouldn't have given for a mechanical saw.

Harness leather purse
Tugadude replied to Equiplay Saddlery's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Very nice, and thanks for the pics of the inside. Lots of times you can learn a lot by seeing the innards as well as the outside. Nice color as said previously. Wondering whether you considered lining it? -
Need to pull trigger on Swivel Knife Opinion plz
Tugadude replied to Rlaing's topic in Floral and Sheridan Carving
On BK's website they are $50.00 including one blade. Don't own one but BK has a great reputation for quality. -
Nice idea but that isn't going to get you where you want to go. The pear shader is probably the answer. Most of the depressions are similar and some seem to be "siamese twins" next to one-another.

Nigel Armitage covers all of the bases on saddle stitching plus his videos are fun to watch (for me at least).

You can pull through glued leather bit it is obviously harder to do. -
How Do I Sew A Single Stitch And End It For Watch Straps.
Tugadude replied to jinteddy7's topic in How Do I Do That?
Take a look at this video. He shows a workable method. -
Very well executed. I also like doing color contrasts. The black panels are very striking. Texture and color variation adds interest. Would love to see the inside. Based upon the stitching on the gussets I expect you used a couple of dividers. Any pockets interior?

Agree with Bigfoote, but to each his own. The slanted stitch looks like a traditional saddle stitch, I'd be proud of it.
