I actually just used neatsfoot oil.
Should i put some neatlack on it? I don't think it needs to be too glossy.

very nice! colored stripes, dyed or other leather attached?Dyed em, and used a groover for the black stripes.

I haven't posted in a while with moving and all. But now I have a new camera and something to show.
I am pretty proud of this.

I'm diggin that snap closure thing you did! I've never seen that before.

I'd say that that was a happy mistake because that stitching looks awesome!

We once made a prosthetic boot with a sole made of tire tread for a man who was terrified of falling down in a store with smooth floors. We made a strap for a one-armed baseball pitcher to help him get his glove on faster. I have made several collars to keep dogs from bothering a healing wound, and I have made breastplates so dogs didn't get gored by wild boars. Jon once fashioned a toilet seal out of veggie tanned because he didn't want to be bothered driving 50 miles to a hardware store. To be fair, I wasn't home, but it was our only toilet. I sewed a thousand elk teeth on an Indian dress once, then danced at the wedding pow wow. Good topic Barra, brings back some memories!Johanna
Requesting pictures of the dog armor!

Febreze?

I don't think that it really makes much of a difference. I'll be watching this thread to find out just how wrong I am.

As a person who plays on one of those
let me tell you that you shouldn't try making a case that opens up with the game and stays on. Even the expensive cases are clumsy and uncomfortable. -
they look like the old iBooks...
if they were maid in the seventies.

I've been putting a laminated board with a dumbbell on top of the still wet peace when it starts to warp.

I'm thinking for the next one I'm going to use those U bolts to attach the bag. Not a lot of body panel on a Ruckus.

Sorry about the cruddy cellphone photos.
First off, some sheaths...
a bracer...
and the good part.
So I finally attempted a large scale project, a saddle bag for my Honda Ruckus. It was about 8"X10"X5" and I dyed it with vinegaroon and I was very pleased with how it turned out.
I was going to take a picture of it on my scooter but about half a day after I put it on someone stole it! I guess it must be pretty good if someone wanted it enough to steal it.
-
I tried the baking soda dip in a bracer hoping that it would combat the smell of vinegar and it really hardened the leather. With out the baking soda the vinegaroon seems to soften the leather.

Wow! I'm totally making one of those snake scale stamps!

I used Neatsfoot oil, looks great.

Just amazing! WOW!

I've seen a few wrestling masks and they all seem to be made out of spandex and/or vinyl. They don't offer any kind of protection at all. I don't think anyone who wrestles would think otherwise, but you had probably better make sure that your client understands that before he gets in the ring.

That is great! How big is it?

I just made up a batch 2 days ago and it already works like a charm!
his is a great process for me because i live in a small apartment and now I don't have to worry about passing out because the place smells like a chemical weapons plant.
I was wondering what you would get by using copper instead of steel? Maybe a green?

I bought a 50 cent mandrel from Harbor Freight.

I love all your stuff, but the skull in the bottle really jumped out at me. That's a really cool composition in that piece.

You could probably use those little round cabinet knobs too.
Adding armor to an old jacket
in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
Posted · Report reply
I was wondering if anyone had experience with making or enhancing leather jackets. I have a great jacket but it isn't armored and I was hoping to slap some thick veg tanned patches on the arms, elbows and shoulders.
The question is, could I do this without removing the lining, possibly with cement and rivets?
