Mine wasn't a bloody mess like above , but I tore the muscle that attaches the arm to the back of the shoulder blade in Feb while making 3 pair of moc boots in 10 days... Hand-stitched with was thread, not leather lacing. My shoulder hurt like a mother and I couldn't raise my arm. The doc figured the repetitive back and up motion of stitching that much leather is what did it. Had to get xrays, steroids and all this other crap. I wasn't allowed to do any leather work UNLESS I had my elbow tucked in down at my side while I did it. William

Looks great Kevin!

I'd buy one!!!

I asked about them on the phone this morning and it was either $30 or $35. I forget which. William

Looks great Kevin! I have one as well, but like you said, I haven't done anything with it....lol I'll get around to it one of these days.... William

Hey Oyvind, I found McMillen's information listed on several websites, but no website for them. McMillen Tool Co. 864 Four Water Dr. Sunrise Beach, MO 65079 Phone: 573-374-7880 I placed a call and they said they do not have a website. They did say they have a few companies that resell their products, so I asked over the overstitch wheel and they said that is a direct sell only item. Why a company decides NOT to have a website these days is beyond me...... I requested one of their paper catalogs and they promised it will go into the mail today. When it comes in, I will find the overstitch wheels and post any information they have for it. Maybe you have a friend or family member who can order it for you the 'old fashion' way.... If not, let me know and maybe I can hook ya up. There are also several softwares that let you use your computer to call landline phones. But as you are out in the North Sea, that may nto be an option either. More when I get the catalog. William

Hey folks! I've seen a nice shark stamp around on the web...recently.....but can't find it anyplace now. I thought Tandy had one but I guess they discontinued it. I found a shark listed on Ebay under 'letterpress' but it is $10 plus shipping. I searched Ebay for the following: leathercraft baron tandy stamp leather shark And a hundred other combinations I thought might work.... Any ideas?? William

Damn Sea!! That's a wonderful wallet!!!!!! Your stitching is very nice, the colors go good together, it looks like you have been making them for years and years! VERY VERY NICE!!! William

Frigging kewl!!! My son has been looking at a few different leather 'glove' styles to add to his outfit.... I think he will like this one alot. Do the straps over the top of the fingers stay in place pretty good or do they shift around if you make a fist? William

Can't wait to see it!! I am making one that will have fur around the edge.... I will post pix of it when it is finished. William

Looks great!!! I might have to try a few of those myself.... William

William advices to NOT use the hammer until the drink wears off......
