  1. Hide Crafter's used to sell them but there was not a big market for them, so they stopped. If you buy them from Simon at GoodsJapan, it will not take you 30 days to get them. He uses Air Mail and it will get to you within the 10days. I have used this site before and never had any issues with things taking 30 days to get it. You can email Simon at Info@goodsjapan.com for a shipping time quote. Occasionally, they come up on eBay, but good luck getting them.

  2. I have a problem finding not the clear acetate or other kinds of "see-throgh" plastic, instead I am looking for the mesh sort of wallet ID window material, the "net" sort of material. it's usually quite stiff, a little like some sort of mosquito net for windows, but still not quite the same. Anyone seen anything like it, and know where to get it?

    You might take a look at Lowe's or Home Depot. Take a look at the their sunscreen material. I am not sure if this is what you looking for or not.

  3. I am sure that some members will response with a need. I am responding to keep this thread alive.

    Oh, by the way, nice article in Shop Talk! I would really like to learn from such an accomplished leather artist.

    Happy Carving!

  4. I use a cam lever that I paid like $7 bucks for at the Woodcraft store. They are gold and made from aluminum, but the bolt is steel. They are used for varies machine jigs. I was worth the exchange from the typical t-nut. This store also carries other handles that might work for you. Check them out.

    Glad you updated the post. I couldn't find it earlier to post this information. Apparently, you found out the same information that I did, but my contact provided me with this substitute for you.

    Sorry no source for ginghers.

    A good scissor is sold by Wolff Industries.

    Www.wolffind.com

    Under the Kai name.

    Good stuff.

    I hope this works out for you!

  6. What do you think of it King's X? Should I start looking around myself for one? I have a pony, but I'm thinking a cam type might be easier for me to work with.

    And your friend's maul is doing me a lot of good, by the way. It also took everything a bunch Boy Scouts dished out too, and the boys who used the maul liked the better control they had over the mallet.

    Bear.....that is going to be the key. Mine had a bit of play, but I was able to take it completely apart and trim it bit to it's current state. Personally, if Ramrod is generously offering to negotiate a pick up for you and mailing...I would definitely go for it. I love me clam pony. Mount a base plate and it will work great for sitting situations where you want to stitch.

    Your awesome Ramrod. Way to help out!
