PM sent!

It's a crochet needle. I use them, too - great for making a straight line with a ruler.

Just remember, they are highly compressed videos and won't look all that great when sent to a DVD. (especially on larger TV's - 32" and up.)

Thanks for this and as always, great looking rigs.

Agreed. BOOMSTICK - How much detail does the press add just by itself? Then, what tools do you use to deepen the lines? I strive for output such as yours.

I think it looks great, and after reading your post about the customer's request, it makes even more sense.

Thanks! If I had 1 more shade of brown, it probably would have rounded it out a little more. I tried to dilute some Fiebing's black with alcohol, just to get a faint gray color, so I could try the 'urban' color scheme. It didn't turn out well. The natural/brown desert look seems to be the most obvious way to do it, and the easiest without going overboard.

Hi fellas! Thought I'd show this pattern I was able to achieve with a steady hand and newly acquired airbrush. Holster is unfinished - just dyed and molded, but I thought I'd show it anyway. You saw it here first!

Honestly, this is probably the best place to start and refer back to: http://www.w3schools.com/

So far everyone has 1 thing in common - bookmarks/favorites. I suggest re-bookmarking the site, while you're not logged in already.

The design is an old military pattern. Many countries have used this shoulder holster pattern for over 50 years - I also know that some still use them for their flyboys. I think it makes sense, but regardless of the padded Y, it suffers from uneven weight distribution. Thus, shifting and slipping is inevitable with this style. I also think that eliminating the holster-side tie down would be a mistake - it will flop. The biggest problem I have with shoulder rigs, is that the pistol needs to be up under my arm far enough to conceal properly, but then my arm can't hang naturally. They simply don't work well for me unless I have a jacket, large sweatshirt, or heavy coat (which make the pistol pretty inaccessible and useless). I do wish you good luck with this though - if you nail it, you could make a serious advancement in shoulder rigs.

Windows Defender: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...er/default.mspx AVG is still free and they still maintain it. http://free.avg.com/ I used to use Black Ice for a firewall, but go other routes now. Tex, you may have more problems afoot than getting some software configured. Methinks you have a hardware issue that should be addressed.

Yeah, it sounds like a hardware failure. I'd backup the hard disk, and also consider the power supply (which can cause irregular reboots).

Love the Crapcleaner - swear by it. But heed Johanna's warning - if you can't regedit manually, you have no business poking around in the registry.

The chances of you being remotely hacked and the user gaining explicit control over your machine without you knowing aren't very good. It sounds to me like a piece of adware/spyware with a double-click agent. You type something in Google, and it redirects you to other sites. Whenever it takes a hop (even if you don't see the page), the page creates a cookie in your cache, thus appearing like you've gone several places, even though you haven't. This kind of stuff is pretty common, and since you say you're using Spybot, I would also advise acquiring a copy of AdAware and running it when you run Spybot S&D (AdAware: http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php (click the green FREE bttn)).

The discrepancy between having the 'www' in front of the address is a real pita. That, indeed, does makes things different, and it's all how the host is setup (lw.net). The lw.net/forum and lw.net/forum/index.php issue, however, are the same thing. The host looks for the file 'index.*' (where's * is a wildcard - php, asp, htm, etc) first, before any other file. When you access lw.net/forum you are accessing the index file. When I write applications that have to go fetch outside data(particularly in Flash), I'm usually working around IE and FF because without the www's, Firefox will sometimes ignore the path altogether. In any case, I'd wager that using: http://www.leatherworker.net/forum as your bookmark/favorite link will fix you right up. Cheers!

Those are actually the same thing.

I don't have this problem on any machine that I log into this site on. I can tell you that a 403 is a forbidden and a 404 is not found. My hypothesis is that you have a favorite with variables in it, and when the page tries to assign new variables, it assigns a link at the end and you end up with something like this: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?h...showtopic=11404 (which should yield the same error you have). My opinion is that you need to recreate your bookmark link with: http://leatherworker.net/forum , as I think your's has variables (perhaps session ID's?), on the end. (Variable are indicated by the ? following the page name. For example, if I wanted to pass the variable 'user' with a value of 'Mike', I would write the string as: http://leatherworker.net/forum?user=mike . You need to remove all of the variable your favorite link may have - including the ?.) Again, my hypothesis. Cheers!

The backs that you see are tee nuts.

Mediafire is my personal favorite. No account necessary. http://www.mediafire.com/

TwinOaks, I'm trolling through here as I never even realized this section of the forum existed. Coffeecup is crap, as well as most *free website builders, either web-based or stand alone. As a web developer+designer by trade, I can tell you that understanding how your site works will make your site better in ways you probably don't care about now. I'll also be the first on here to tell you that you should try learning some basic HTML, as it's very easy to pick up and will get you going in the right direction. For software, Notepad++ is lightweight and free, and gives you color coding like Dreamweaver (my personal choice). It isn't, however, a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). Dreamweaver can be used in design view, which will probably give you the point and click design you want, but will also help you write validated code, which is something I'm sort of a stickler about. Anyway, enough of me - PM if you need some help.

As someone who deals with many large compressed filetypes, I can attest that 7zip is probably the most powerful and lightweight of all. Plus, it's totally open source (free). http://www.7-zip.org/ It can unpack: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z. And can pack up: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR (<= the latter is greatly useful if you run a Linux box)

Looks really good. I like the design and I make one similar and love carrying it. What weight leather are you using?

I'm using resolene now with awesome results paired with 7-8oz.

I think it looks great! What weight leather did you use? What type of finish is that?
