Welcome to the forum and greetings from Central Texas!

Awesome! Enjoy

These are going to be 'purdy!'

Very nice! Did you consider weathering or dampness when preparing it? if so, what did you do to combat this? Thanks for sharing!

Really nice work AL. I saw photographs of it on Face Book. Way to go!

Looks like some kind of shoe vise? I've seen one similiar in a guild member's shop. I hope you get the answer.

That is cool! For an MP3 player?

Take a look at Big Papa Leather.com He is a member here and that is his specialty, wallets, wallets, wallets. Good luck.

I had the same question, stitches? Very nice belt!

I have purchased from Stevenson-Paxton the last time and bought 5 sides. They gave it to me in the size I needed. I paid $99 a size, I do not know the quality label, but they were sure clean! I haven't heard much about them, but I later learned that Panhandle leather in Texas will basically do the same. I haven't check the price. I know that a couple of people on here have recommended calling the tannery directly?? I haven't. Good luck

Spinner Appreciate the heads up. I sent an email their way with my logo to see what we can work out. I knew someone would end up having some in the FAM who is involved in this type of work. @ Broncbuster: Yes, I have a log already to go. Thanks. Much appreciated!

I appreciate it. I wanted to first throw my money to someone on here that has a friend, family member or spouse doing this.

I've got someone actually asking for my help in setting up a leatherwork business. Thanks for sharing. I will pass it on for them to review.

Nice stuff too! Unfortunately, I am running out of room in the Cramped Cottage! Good luck though!

I figure I would ask here LW since most of us either have a day job or know something in this arena. I need a couple of shirts and maybe a couple of hats embrodiered. Any recommendations? I will supply my own shirts and hats when ready. Thanks.

TimD ~ Those cards look worth it since I am limited in space, but I will certainly keep Chuck's info in mind when making my card selection. Thanks for the information to both of you!

Here is another one shared by a LW member. Enjoy! SimpleShoe.pdf

Hello All We have a couple of guild members who are selling a manual crank strap cutter for sale. It is listed at $1395.00 in the 2009 Weaver catalog. Its about six months old and in great shape. They purchased it thinking that they would be getting a lot of use out of it and it just did not turn out that way! The asking price is $1,000. The members are out of Austin, Texas. Let me know if anyone is interested and we'll hook both parties up! thanks.

That what I have done a couple of time with limited machinery and tools. Barry King and Leather Wranglers should be able to fill your needs. Good luck!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing and welcome to the forum. Greetings from Central Texas, USA

Very nice! Unfortunately, I have a beauty sitting in my garage that I am trying to get rid of since I cannot no longer ride it without experiencing too much pain. My is a 2004 cruiser, fully loaded and it just hit 5,000 miles! Yea, I know. Enjoy yours because I certainly miss mine!

For me it is hard to say why it happened, but I have experienced something like this before and something else with super sheen spray. I now, form after tooling before I dye, wax? or finish my project. I like to have it the way I need it after tooling. Now, I have to agree that Eco Flo can cause something like this to happen, but it has been way to too long since I used EcoFlo again since I wiped it off of my shelves. Sorry!

I found your tool! The guy is overseas and is willing to work directly with you and sell it at a great price. Send me a personal message with your email and I will connect you two! Best regards
