  1. just got back from Kentucky. Mom's house. Made her a coaster out of your pattern. She loved it. Thanks. Tom
  2. looks like your learning just fine my friend. the perlines and trusses look good. Tom
  3. I love it. I used to play paintball. If you want to call it play. My gun was a $1,100 dollar auto cocker. Also had a tippman that would unleash 15 to 20 balls per second. " RT Trigger" Yes I said 15 to 20 PER second. They wouldn't let me use it in tourny play.
  4. I dont have the gun at the moment but it's made for a 22 magnum.
  5. I was going to do both sides of it Sheridan but I goofed up the pattern. TA DA!! basket Weave to the rescue. Gotta love a good basket weave tool. It's gonna be a Organizer/Address book sorta thing. I'll post it when I get the next step done. Tom
  6. I just cut a peice of leather wet it placed the pliers flat on the bench and molded it around the pliers. When it was dry I stitched it to a back. I trimed it after stitching. No dye on the lighter one just Tan-kote. The dark one is tandy's Dark Brown Antique stain then Tan-kote. Tom

  9. I forgot to add that it is 4"x 5 1/4" x 1/2" closed. Tom
  10. Hope I got the theme right. I am from South Carolina,USA. HOOAH!!! This is a small pocket journal I made to use when I go metal detecting. I dont like to hunt all over looking for the place I found something interesting so I just log anything important in my book. Our State flag has a white Crescent and a white Palmetto tree on a blue background. I didn't want to hide the natural look of the leather so I chose to use blue thread to represent the background colors. I guess a little history of the flag is in order. The Crescent comes from a banner carried by protesters against the Stamp Act in 1765. The Palmetto Tree comes from the logs used in 1776 to build the fort defending Sullivans Island which was under attack by the British. The cannon balls fired from the British War Ships just sank into the tough soft Palmetto wood. The flag that flies over the State of South Carolina today is the same design that flew over the Independant South Carolina during the Civil War. Tom
  11. It's really several peices sewn together to form the pockets. Heres one I made for a checkbook cover. After it was done I just trimmed it to fit the ckeckbook. Hope this helps. Tom
  12. Yep, thats the sorting hat. Thats cool. I'm a big Harry Potter fan. You ought to sell those at the video store when the next movie comes out. Tom
  13. Just down loaded the program and it works great. No germs here. Tom
  14. I haven't made many holsters so I was wondering what is the "proper" weight leather to use, or is it a matter of function, IWB, OWB sorta thing. Thank you for your help in this matter. Tom Well I just found the answers I needed in another post. Guess I should look before I leap. All most of my questions are in here somewhere all I need to do is look better. Thanks all. Tom
  15. I have been wanting to try my hand at do something in the Sheridan Style. You have gave the push to go for it. I got a Organizer insert I've been wanting to use. I know this will take me awhile but I'll try to post something as I go along. Tom

    Thanks RC
  17. Outstanding looking rig. I really like the color. Tom
  18. Like some one in the group said. Ther are no "scraps" just small projects waiting to be made. I make note pad covers too. Just give them away to friends and family. Everyone needs a note book. Tom
  19. I left this out for almost a full South Carolina day. Neets foot oil only. Tom
  20. Made these for a local deep sea fisherman friend. With any luck I'll get a fish out of the deal. Tom
  21. I thought I'd posted these already but couldn't find them. I did try to edit it at one point so I'm thinking I sorta sent it into cyber space. Mr. computer I'm not. Well here they are again, I think. It's a card case I made from a pattern I took out of the Skiver" I also think it might make a nice cartridge case on my gun belt. Tom
  22. It's 4 1/2" x 8" the back ground color is a dark green. Tom
  23. Not sure what I expected when I decided to try this sun tanning method but this aint it. I think I left it out too long.Tom
  24. I got this out of the Tandy publication "The Skiver" I might just put a belt loop on it and use it as a cartridge case on my gun belt. Tom [attach ent=12937:IMG_0010.JPG]
  25. Oh Hell Yeah. Thank you. Now to try and do something with it. Tom
