Digging up an older post.... But I was just wondering if you used an plain halter and just cut off the nose band or can you buy a halter (from somewhere) with no nose band?

After reading posts on this forum for a couple of months, I know NEVER to even mention Tandy. At all. Also, at this point I'm not looking to buy any tools (I have enough for the projects I'm doing). For the little projects i have done I have used a stitch marker, awl (scratch as it is the only one i have), waxed thread and a rounded stitching needle. The finished products look good enough for me but I would not give them to anyone else unless I figure something out that works and looks better. Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Thanks Everyone!

Ok great Thanks!!

Hey everyone! I am new to leather working and have done a few small projects. As I have limited funds and can't afford a sewing machine I was wondering how you guys make your hand stitching look so good. Any tips or tricks for big/thick projects? Thanks in advance!

Thanks So Much!!

I am new to leather working but I know that for some projects you need to use cement to hold the pieces together for sewing or lacing. What I was wondering is if I could use a contact cement from a hardware store or if it would be better to buy the leather cement. I am just practicing at the moment so the best cement isn't a necessity. Thanks!!!

I'll give it a look!

OK thanks!

Hey guys, This might be a really dumb question but I was wondering at what point you dye leather? For many projects I know it is a finishing step. But when beading leather do you dye first? Also do rivets and snaps come after dye? Thanks In Advanced!!!

Ok thank you I will try drawing one haha

Ok thanks very much!

I was wondering if anyone had a pattern for a pouch or bag that i could make from moose hide. Any ideas or help will be very welcome! Thank you!!

I was wondering if anyone has a pattern or has made a Shotgun/rifle sling before. Any help would be great thanks!!

Hey! Could I get the pattern as well pretty please?! My email is katelynn.johnsen@gmail.com Thanks!!

I noticed some threads about Tandy and how some of their leather isn't the greatest. I was wondering if anybody buys from Halfords out of Edmonton AB and what their opinion is of it. I am just starting out and don't have a lot to spend so I have bought a few things from Halfords. On a side note I bought a used tool kit and was wondering if there was any way to figure out how old the tools and knives are. Thanks!!

Thanks! I'll try some out!

Hey! I am new to leather working and was wondering what small projects i could do with moose and deer scraps. It is quite soft so I was also wondering if it was possible to stamp. any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
