Good idea, Art, here's me:

This election has been going on so long, and everyone has had their say OVER AND OVER AND OVER, that surely there's nothing more to debate

I like 'Never Dull' Less messy than most brass cleaners and doesn't leave a residue in the recesses

Very sharp - The design is great and I like the skinny border on the main part of the strap.

Can you believe, he sent me the proof on Friday, and I got the stamp today - that guy is the BEST!!

Made by Jeff at Grey Ghost Graphics - incredibly fast service too!

Don't know about the mallets, but my Weaver edgers are excellent - cut like butter - best 24 bucks you'll ever spend. I also have their strap end punches - fantastic!

That's the way with all wholesale prices. Obviously dealers need to make a profit. In the case of franchises, the company needs to double the cost to cover their expenses and make a profit. They then sell the item to their franchisees who in turn need to double the price. It is never fair to compare wholesale and retail prices. I don't have a Tandy price list, but here's one item you can do a quick price comparisson. 1 inch nickle plated steel roller buckle - Weaver - .16 cents (less in quantity)

Hmm, shouldn't be a problem. Best thing is to use a rotary cutter and a straight edge, or a good pair of shears.

Weaver is a wholesale company. If you have a tax number, you can open an account. Thier prices on hardware are genrerally about 1/4 Tandy's price, and they have a lot higher quality available too. Leather is lower priced, but roughly the same as Wickett and Craig. They also carry Hermann Oak. Tools are a lot cheaper too, and again they carry a very good line of Weaver branded tools

edger - 795.00 strap cutter - 1295.00 rotary punch - 1480.00

Those belts have been an issue with me for a long time. Surely there must be some kind of regulation about false advertising. Some years ago I was selling at a flea market. The guy 3 booths down was selling them for 3 for 10 bucks while I was getting 30 for mine. It was a full time job explaining the difference. I bought a few of his, tore them open and made an information board. Still, the whole thing p's me off. There's a regular seller at the big state fair here that has 1000's of 'genuine Leather' belts, and his booth is jam packed with peoiple snapping them up. I will say this, some of those belts have half way decent buckles on them. I've thought about buying them for the buckles. I have gotten jackets and vests in the shop for repair that were labeled 'Genuine Leather' that were vinyl , made, you-know-where. I'll found the general public thinks anything labeled 'leather' is about the same, whether it's bonded, split or the real thing. How does one educate the public on a larger scale than one at a time?

Horse hide

Like so:

You can attach it either with a strap and buckle to the frame or, make a tab at the bottom of the bib, punch 2 holes and run a thong through it. At the top, cut the panel to fit the contour of the instrument panel, then sew a flange to the back (of the top). this sits under the edge of the instrument panel.

What a coincidence - I have an FXR ('93) I was just getting ready to take the stock panel off to get the pattern for a bib. If you can wait a couple of days, I can make a pattern and mail it to you. There is no way to give accurate dimentions without a pattern - the cut-out for the instrument panel, etc. Let me know.

Perhaps because he is already dead and is just a symbol anyway - and we are not allowed to take our forces into Pakistan, where he most likely is, if alive. Of course there are those who will always find ways to make our beautiful country into the perpetrators of evil. I have no interest in watching videos by "young film makers" -most especially foreigners -who dedicate themselves to perpetuating these lies. There seems to be no bounds when it comes to vilifying American leaders for God knows what reason. I heard an interesting fact this morning. While 65% of Germans believe that Bin Laden was resposible for 911, only 45% of Americans do. How does it happen that Americans have been so poisoned against our own country by Hollywood leftists and the endless diatribe coming from the media. The national media will not even show the footage of the most horrendous event ever to occur on American soil. Our country was attacked by the same 'people' who have committed similar, if smaller, mass murders across the globe - end of story. Any other theories and exposes by 'young filmakers' can go into the cesspool where they belong.

I've watched it several times and it still leaves me breathless http://mediafetcher.com/article_full.php?id=30064

Weaver sells beautiful, high quality cast brass roller buckles(#50) in all sizes from 1/2" - 1 3/4" and either brass or chrome plated or stainless. They look awesome as belt buckles. As far as where they are made, don't know.

My rounder doesnt go small enough to make thinner cord, but I found that if I wet the leather and pull it through holes punched into a couple of layers of heavy leather it makes a pretty good round cord. Start with a hole that is big enough to pull your lace through fairly easily, and then move to a smaller hole, and then a smaller one.. Works pretty good.

Tina, just so you know, Ohio Travel Bag has attachments for European presses including eyelets in several sizes.

Freaking excellent. I was thinking anyone who had a friend who is a Maxim model has my support anyway!

10 Voila a quick p-pad! 11 and on the bike Actually, I sould have used the medium suction cups rather than the large, since this was a very small pad (he insisted it should only be 5x7). After one ride his wife refused to ride on it again, so I'll be re-doing it in a larger size. The seat was also a quicky - 3 days in including molding the fiberglass pan (which involved 2 trips out to the shop which was a distance away), shaping the foam (and another trip out to check the contour of the foam) and doing the cover (and another trip to install the seat) - whew, glad that's over!

7 Put the cover on and glue it to the back - I used Barge 8 Glue on a backing - this is trunk lining carpet 9 Rivet on the suction cups - I put tiny self adhesive velcro dots over the rivet heads, so they won't contact the paint

4 Next, I glued on 3 layers of 1/2 inch neoprene and shaped it 5 Make a pattern - hint: the sides on the curved sides are not just straight strips. 6 Cut the leather and sew it up
