    But I don't seem to know any one who carries cash. So "lectric" money is better than no money.

    I use Square for card processing. I also use Paypal. Never had a problem with either. I do face to face sells quite often. I take about 90% of my money in card payments of some sort. I do not have a Square shop. But that is just me. I have friends who do, never heard them complain. Hope it helps. But at least it was to the point. Go well

    @Canoeswamp1911 Thank you. I would appreciate seeing the pictures of your work.

    These are beautifully designed and executed. It does break my heart to think their first use will have them wrestling the south end of a north facing horse. Thank you as always for the inspiration.

    I would be happy carrying either version. Except I need the bullets on the opposite side. As always you do great work. I must admit the reworked version is more pleasing to the eye. Thank for sharing your work. I still miss my old Winchester 45-70.

    I saw a 1911 holster with a zombie influenced skull somewhere. It was way sweet. The maker had used neon green, red, bio hazard related colors for accent and to lend a sort of toxic appearance.

    I use a old Craftsman 6x36 inch belt sander for straight edges. You can use the front drive roller for larger curves. I happen to be mostly involved in woodworking. So I also take advantage of a oscillating spindle sander for smaller curves. I normally start out at like 120 or 150 grit which ever is on the machine in use at the time. Then go up to 220 after that I switch to hand sanding for a finer finish, if desired. I find machines and finer grits often have a tendency to burn the leather. Or maybe I am just ham handed. Who knows?

    I like this a lot. Great way to pass on the craft. My grandfather was a maintenance mechanic for all of my life and most of his. He was the first one to show me how to use a Speedy Stitcher to repair the bib pocket on one of his work aprons. The grandson will not forget this.

    Grand collar. Lulu is a lucky and soon to be a well dressed girl. Love to see her in it. I like this a bunch. Thank you for sharing.

    @RockyAussie That Sir is a beautiful belt. And a great idea. Thank you for sharing. Do you make your tips from brass or another metal? If you don't mind my asking.

    Laughs. As I age this is becoming more and more apparent. Thank you for an early morning chuckle.

    I subscribed for the misses to use as a learning tool. I maybe should utilize this more than I have. Thank you for the reminder.

    Awesome. Great thinking and execution. I guess a purse in the hand is worth two in the bush. Thank you for sharing and enduring the bad jokes.

    You may try Bloxygen. It is basically ultra pure Argon gas, packaged similar to the computer/keyboard dusting gases. It is a heavier than air gas that settles on top of the finish in the can providing a oxygen free barrier. Not tried it on contact adhesive yet. But it sure works on polyurethane and paints. Place the lid loosely on the can of finish, stick the straw from the Bloxygen into the container and give a two second blast then seal the lid. Like I said it works for my poly.

    Gorgeous work. The reality is stunning. I showed the picture to the misses. She loves all things feline. Her comment was I hope who ever took that picture made it out alive that is really close. I think you hit this one out of the park so to speak. Do you keep track of hours spent on each project? If so and it is not being to forward. How many hours do you spend on a piece of this quality? Thank you for sharing Gene

    So cool. That would be a real gift for someone who uses a tape measure on a daily basis. Great work.
  21. bullmoosepaddles
    Beautiful work as always. Thank you for sharing.

    In case everything above falls apart. I am in.

    I am going to go ahead and say this. For years I have wondered what happens when the next generation starts a war for plant rights? We will all starve. But in their defense it will end the overall problem.

    In awe. That is beautiful work. All around, the modeling, coloring and the actual making of the purse. Thank you for sharing.

    Like bikermutt07 above always explains to the new folks. Sharpening skills is one of the first, best things you can learn. They go so far into the craft with you. Sharp tools make everything going forward easier, less frustration and more fun. Be patient, enjoy the creative process. Practice, improve and do the same project again in a year. You will be amazed at your progress. Have fun.
