King's X

I was just going to mention Al Stohlman's books, but by now you get it.

Looks fine. I guess it would depend where you start your measurement?

Vicroll91.....found it! Check out RMLeathersupply.com I was way off....they are in Montana and sell your clamp. Thunter9 - I have one just like that and use it all of the time. I made a 'lift kit' to raise it almost chin level when sitting. Good luck

Be careful T.....you may have to go into business making these now. Jk

There is a dealer in the New Jersey(?) I think? I know if you use the 'search' button at the top right corner you will find it.

Well, I own just a few SKs. For the money, you cannot go wrong with a Barry King SK. Some of the top makers are Paul at Leather Wrangers, Bob at Pro Series Tool (Black Crack), Chuck Smith's Ol' Smoothie, Clay Miller at CM Tools & Leather. I hear that Bearman (a member here) is making SKs now though I do not own one yet. Now there have been a lot of threads on here about SKs. You can search the forum using the section at the top right corner. In my opinion, it all depends on your level and what leathercraft means to you. Is it a hobby or a business? If you are just moving up slowly, you could be fine with just upgrading your blade from one of the makers above. I think Barry King offers the most affordable blade upgrade at about $15 and he makes them for Craftool SKs. There are some other companies that offer middle of the road SKs. Seiwa, CraftJapan, Kyoshee Elle, and several other sellers that can be located through your local leather craft supply store. This should help you make the appropriate decision. Good luck!

I use my arbor press as stated above, but also as a mini clicker for key fobs and stuff.

I have used my bandsaw, table saw and even my drill press to drill my larger holes.

Here in the US. I would refer you to Aaron Heizer at Maker's Supply Company. I visited his new shop yesterday and he is not stocking these cases in a variety of phones. Give him a call or check out the website. Good luck

If you invest in a quality blade and do not intend on entering a hatchet throwing competition. you shouldn't need to regrind the edge. stropping is all you need unless you plan on doing some higher grit clean up. Good luck

I need the following to complete my traveling set. Do you have these available? Thanks. B2042 B2045 P2612 P2622

It is the Tandy Imprint press. I do not believe it is sold any more in the stores. It was made to use with the Tandy stamps. I am sure it can retrofitted for multiple uses. I guess you will have to figure out what you want to use it for and have a welder or machine shop make you the accessories. Good luck

Might have to give 1.5" model a try. Nice work

I own a copy. It is an older book. it has plenty of information, but nothing that other authors do not or did not cover in other books.

Congratulations! Beautiful color.

Hello John....congrats on making it to retirement. Welcome to the forum!

I do not finish my edges until the very end. I have been using Wyosheen for years. I also use spirit & pro dyes, no water based dyes.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service!

Hello Ludy and welcome to the forum!

So sorry to hear this........I wish you well in what endeavor you end up with down the road! Good luck

Ditto

Tape them down. I have used rubber cement and mat board, packaging tape and shelving paper. Try not to remove it until you are ready to line or done dyeing it. Good work....keep it up.

Welcome to the forum Fred!

I use an A104 as one of my go to backgrounders. The technique with the A104 is to slightly rotate it as you strike it. You want an even and seamless waffle pattern background. If I want a deeper background, I will bust out my third go to tool, A98 & A99 before I use the A104. On some occasions, I will use the A98 & A99 before I use my first go to tool.....my #35 Barry King bargrounders. It does take some practice to run an even A104, but it can be done. I would keep the area to the suggested dimensions provided above. good luck!
