Your so right Badlove. I'll be using much smaller pieces from now on. Thats what I love about htis site. Learning something every time I log on is the norm. Thanks all. Tom

My share was enough for 3 or 4 people. Tom

I dont think it's a matter of the posts being too long. I think you might be hitting the setter at an angle. The setter needs to be stright up and down or it will bend the post. Tom

Diet Orange soda. Not much of a alcohol person. I didnt give it up, it gave me up. LOL Tom

I have the basic ones like butterflys. The kind you put a stick through. I was just wondering if anyone had something different. Tom

I found this web site and thought it might help. Or we could all go by GMT, Pilots do. Tom www.worldtimezone.com

I was just wondering if there were any set times that group discussions were held in the chat rooms so we could talk real time and ask and answer questions? If not not maybe we could start some kind of group "Therapy" thing and maybe a spelling group LOL. Tom

Is there any way to see one of those things on a horse. I like the way it looks and was thinking of giving it a try. Are the 2 pieces coming off the sides used as reins? Do you cut your own rawhide? I tried it but boy is it tough. Good work by the way. I always learn something everytime I come into this comunnity. Thanks everyone. Tom

I really like your design. I just made one similar to that but it didnt come out no where as nice as yours. I didn't get my main body peice of leather square and it threw the whole thing off. I kept thing it was my stitching so I took it apart 2 times before I found out what I goofed up on. OOPS. Tom

I dyed it myself. I used my airbrush. Made for a pretty easy job. I used a 7 to 8 oz veggie tan. It might be a little heavier than that. Tom

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I like to use small pieces of lace. About 8 ft. is the longest I'll work with. I think it's easier to make a splice than it is to fight with a long peice of lace. For the splice I skive the ends of the lace and use leather weld to glue the splice together. Not too sure about how long it took me to make it cause I tend to work on more than one thing at a time. But if I had to take a guess I would say it took about 3 or 4 hours. Not counting drying time for the stain and finish. Tom

I just used the pics I saw here on the forum. Looked at things in the pictures and asked people about the sizes they made theirs. Drew a bat on it and VIOLA!! Batbag. Tom

Steve I got this from a guy at Tandy's one day I heard he's pretty good. Dont know for sure. www.greyghostgraphics.com Tom

Just want to get my money back for the materials. Dont feel right making a profit on somebodys else's logo so I'll forgo any profit. I dont download music or movies off the internet because they belong to the artist. I just buy want I want at ITUNES and load it right to my IPOD. Only reason I made it was to see how it would look. Now some guy wants it. Well he's getting a good deal. Tom

It all started with the Batman tool roll. Ended up like this. It was clean when I started. But it's always that way. BOOM!! What the heck happened? Tom

I'm still working on that where everything is deal. I had it but now it's gone, I think. Tom

I found this the other day. They some good ones. And they are free. I hope you find one you like. Oh did I mention they are free? LOL. I like free. Tom

The stencil worked out pretty good. My airbrush skills reallty suck. The purple background is just a color I was playing with. It's not meant to be a background. The flames looked alot clearer before they dried. I should have used a new peice of paper to do them like I did the dragon. Oh well, live and learn. The problem I was having was the stencil kept blowing out away from the paper if I got too close. I'll just keep practicing. Tom

I just went to the Doctor and got copies of my own x-rays. As many operations as I've had they got tons of them. Anyway here is the dragon cut out. I'm thinking about trying to airbrush it on a peice first then wet it from the back side, then tool it. We'll see how that works out. Tom

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Boy is my singing lousy. Oh well. Happy Birthday Tina. Tom

With a prize like that who wouldn't want to be in. Tom

Found a good site for free stencils but leather worker wont let me upload it. Anyway I just Yahooed free stencil and found it. Gonna try and airbrush them onto handbags. Sorry about the lousy picture. Tom

I thought this was worth posting. I didnt know it till i tried it. X-Flim makes great stencil media. You guys get to see my naked foot.

Where can I get a blue gun or I think they call them red guns now cheap to use as a mold? Tom

I know what its like. I live in South Carolina We've been hit hard a few times , I too have a generator and am on a well. I was with the National Guard and let me tell you those things (Huricanes) can really make a mess of things. Ya'll be careful out there. Tom
