I appreciate the education. I guess the "stitching wheel" kind of does the same thing. I referred to your suppliers and yes they are very expensive, so I guess until I go into business I will stick to my "stitching wheel." Thanks to all those who responded.

The Arts Council here in State told me that they didn't know what I was talking about. He then directed me to a private school for that kind of instruction??? Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember - Stop & Strop ! ~

I get my extra pieces from my Tandy store. I don't buy kits anymore, I just use the pattern that I made and put the thing together with the magnet pieces. I really don't like the clip piece, plus, I never have that much money on me. Hot hands! Good luck! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I am currently making a "market" type bag and I bought from the scrap bin at Tandy some light (thin) chrome tan that look like wood grain (sort of, chestnut color) for my lining. I hope it works. Good luck and report bag any success you have on projects after receiving advice here. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Welcome to the forum. Your guild website looks really cool. Mind if we steal some ideas from yours? Just kidding!! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Welcome Kenneth to this forum. I have learned a lot and keep enjoying the conversations and ideas that I receive. Ask away with any questions and good luck. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop ~

Dude: It looks so cool. It appears that you trimmed the sides because it just fits better than mind. I need a favor in return regarding this pattern, I PM'ed you with the request. Now, you will be building these all spring & summer long for your friends, watch. Keep up the good work and soon we will be having you do a class on airbrushing, so keep practicing!! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop~

I'll take it if still available. Do you accept PayPal? Just let me know. Thanks. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop ! ~

email the Journal. I know that they have sets of back issues that they sell for $20. Check their website and good luck. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop~

I appreciate all of the comments. Side Note: JBird....your apron went flying out today....enjoy Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop ! ~

Can anyone shed some light on what is a "Prickling Iron", I spelled it correctly? I saw one in a photograph where the crafts person appeared to look like it was being used to saddle stitch. I was flat, and the teeth were very small and spread evenly across. There were about 20 teeth tapering to a thin shaft. Are these tools still available? Where can you get them? I appreciate it.

I've been working on my dyes and finishes with these two recent projects. The Koozie was done with Neat Foot oil, three coats of Super Shene and then Saddle Tan Antique Gel. I am really proud of the portfolio because it belongs to me and I plan to market my work with it. Plus, I was worried that I was going to screw it up. This was my first time working with such a large pattern. The finish on the portfolio project was also an experiment, I started with a coat of oil, then a good round of Neatlac (that I stole from a friend), medium brown antique gel and followed up with super shene. Here are the pictures, don't mind the date, I have battery problems with the camera. It keeps dying and I have to constantly change the date, so I gave up a long time ago. Tell me what you guys think. After all, the receipes came from this forum, well kinda. Greetings and good evening from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Nice stuff, man....Thanks for sharing!! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember....Stop & Strop! ~

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the introduction... Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

Thanks Ms. J~ I just made my contribution to Billy and can't wait to get to see the DVD. I am interested by the start of this thread. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

Man, that 'Neatlac' does the trick. I heard that Tandy will not be selling it anymore. What will we do. I appreciate the response. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

My friend has this in his leaving room. You think he would mind if I just cut one antler off for a tool handle or burnishing stick? Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

Stupid question, but did you brush on the finishes to each part? Or did you use sometype of block out agent to seal each part? I guess I should have say that.....My bad! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

I new that it would something as simple as you mentioned it. I think these picture depict the beauty of natural leather with the contrast of the tooling part. My .02 cents. Thanks for the help, I will it a shot and report back. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

Welcome to the forum! I don't know exactly where you are located, but I know there is a New Tandy store going up somewhere in Tucson. A friend of mine just got assigned there and is working to get it built up inside to open it. If you are near and get a chance, stop by and say hi to Crystal! She'll take of you as almost ALL Tandy manager's will. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~

There beautiful....I really like the one with the wood grain. You would make 'Spider' very happy, impressive. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Welcome to the forum where you will find several seat master workers who share their seats on here alot. Sit back and enjoy the trip! Greetings from Round Roc, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~

I saved the pictures for later project design ideas. When I went back, I couldn't find the link or site. I remember something usual in the title bar (top left corner), question marks. Normally, you would see the name of the site or something similiar, but not here. Oh well, I thought with all of the masters here, someone would be able to chime it. I appreciate your response. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember to Stop & Strop~

I found another stitching pony on the internet in my quest to find the appropriate design. I thought that operating principles were very simple here. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember to Stop & Strop~

JBird~ I have to HF for more gloves for our guild and my shop. I don't mind getting you one of those denim apron and sending it to you! Consider it a random act of 'Badger' kindness. Just paying it forward. Let me know. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember to Stop & Strop~
