  1. HarryB: Beautiful workspace. Man, my little corner looks like.....well not as good. Question: I saw that you have something holding 3 swivel knifes on your table top. What is that a 3 way holster? Could we see a bigger picture? Appreciate it. Oldtimer: Very nice little work shop! SWWWWWEEEEETT! Thanks for sharing.

  3. I received what appeared to be a Hidecrater catalog today in the mail. I immediately flipped through the pages to see pictures because I am a visual person. To my dismay, it was just a bunch of stock numbers and prices. The front and back cover does have pictures with some "red tag" sales. Check yours out!

    stropping

    I don't mean to trump a master like Mr. Troy, but I have used cermanics for quite some time (short compared to Mr. Troy) but I actually found that you need to work on the C. blades when you buy them. In fact, case in point, we went through a "dry run" on Oak leaves in preparation for an upcoming class through our guild. One of our members had just bought a C. Blade and he had a really hard time cutting through his leather 1/2 back. Today, at our O.F.C. meeting this morning, ScissorMedic showed up and actually worked on the C. Blade for this member and when he went and cut the leather....he went almost all the way through the letter. Now, ScissorMedic says that he cannot actually sharpen the C. Blade, but he works off the grinding marks and gets it polished. I hope this helps. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

  15. I found this ad while surfing the internet, just in case someone in the area needs work. Apprenticeship in Custom Leather Goods (Mt. Airy) Reply to: see below Date: 2009-01-15, 3:04PM EST SEEKING APPRENTICE CUSTOM LEATHER ACCESSORIES Arleen Olshan has worked in custom leather accessories-sandals, belts, handbags, and boxes- for over 40 years, is seeking an apprentice to learn the craft and assist in the business. Arleen has a following in the women’s and gay communities nationally, in addition to local craft shows in the Philadelphia area. Do you like making things with your hands? Do you enjoy sewing-either by hand or on a sewing machine? Are you aspiring to a career in art or a craft? Do you enjoy craft and music festivals-would you like to work in these kinds of environments? If you have answered yes to these questions, please call, let’s talk. I prefer to teach one or two people at a time-as I have limited space in my studio. Arleen-215-242-5074
  16. And, me too! But now I know it went to someone worthy of such a beauty. Enjoy~~ Greetings from Round Rock, Texas
  17. Badger: I have one, a Tandy model that I do not use anymore. You can have it, just send me your addy and you will get it. Let's say were even, brother! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
  18. Wow! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
  19. I appreciate all of the comments. I did a notebook a while back for myself and saw an ad at the Orthopedic's office that intrigued me involving a runner's event. Anyways, it included everything that has to do with Austin. The music, bats, runner's and capital. I came out pretty good, I thought. I like to do designs like this that catch my eye. Note: Yes, this is one of my Stolman knifes. I have a 1/4 inch flat blade that I found on eBay for $6 bucks. Thanks to ScissorMedic, it was grinded down and sharpened to a micron, I believe. It is very sharp and works like a charm after being stroped. I have emailed Barry King because I was talking with ScissorMedic (who owns one) and I would like to try one. I also like the SK3 and have emailed Pablo. Since I do this as a hobby, I cannot afford to throw money on everything I like. Maybe I will when some of my stuff gets sells (hahaha). Thanks to all!

  20. I appreciate the comments. I hope it will make the magazine, but it will be up to the editor. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
  21. I just completed this logo tonight. I still have to finish it and then I will be sending it in to Ride Texas Magazine. For those of you who ride motorcycles and live in Texas, here is a great magazine that provides a lot of resources. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
  22. I appreciate the responses. I have two that were given to me, but I have never ventured to use them. I was just wondering if anyone where uses it. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

  25. Here is a good one for you leatherworkers. Do you use a "sewing awl?" If so, when, or what situations? What is the theory behind this thing they call a "sewing awl?" Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
