I’m aware that most of the leather that I will use for belts/straps will stretch over time and use. if I don’t want it to stretch, I will use nylon ribbon, or fabric book binding tape, between the two pieces of leather. but if I just want to mitigate some of the stretch, on a single layer, will putting a stitch on the edges do that? Thank you Richard

Finally completed my new stitching pony. thanks for the inspiration. For comparison, the small one is from Amazon, it no work so good.

I did a “search”, of various wording about Stitching Pony. The biggest results was 33,800! After a month of going through them all, insert going crazy emoji here. I turn to you good people. I am looking for simple plans to build a stitching pony. That’s it. thank you Richard. ps, I didn’t really go through 33800 results!
-
That makes sense. Thanks
-
Thank you for your help. I agree, it definitely will be a tricky one. am wondering if I could solder a wire frame that would be in between the two layers. Might work on a coin. this will require some bourbon and more thinking!

Good day, I would love to do a keychain, or something similar, that has a stone/coin with both sides visible. My questions are ; what are the key points to securing the item in place? Considering how much handling it might endure, such as a keychain/fob going in and out of a purse or pocket. ok, that’s one question, but with multiple points to consider! thank you Richard

I have never been disappointed on this site. Thanks to everyone who has responded.

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll give it a try.

Good day, I am seeking advice. I made a belt for work. The edge coat (fiebings) rubs off on to my shirt, white shirt of course, when it gets wet from rain or sweating. Is there a way to prevent this from happening or do I need to refinish the edges with a different method or material? Thank you Richard

I did a quick search on “Since”, but didn’t find anything. it looks as if Tandy decided they better put out some better tools, instead of resting on their laurels.? lots of competition out there. thank you for the response.
-
I received the new flyer from Tandy, anyone know anything about the SINCE manufacturer? They look pretty good on paper! Thank you
-
I do have a water bladder from Tandy for that, thank you. And I will probably use it, but was interested in the historical context.

A quick and straight question! I want to do a water bottle, but I live in Florida, south Florida! Sub-Tropical! Question: for the wax sealing inside, how does hot temperatures affect the seal? How to deal with the heat? I am sure historically this had to be dealt with! Ok, a couple questions! Thank you cheers

Thank you Frodo, I got it. And a great looking bag.
