As mentioned before by Leatheroo, X-ray film is a great medium for designing and saving patterns. It is strong, yet flexible and easy to cut. Since it's thick plastic it lasts virtually forever. About half of each sheet is transparent which facilitates tracing. Hospital X-ray departments throw away many sheets every day during start-up and calibration of the machines. If you have a friend in the medical field they can make inquiries, If not, a few kind words to an xray technician will enlist him/her to your cause. (you might even make a key fob in exchange and have a friend for life).

Large Photo Notebook

Beautiful work, Tim. Do you buy the ring mechanism separately or tear apart a finished notebook to get it? --Dave -

A friend has requested a couple of lanyards (those straps you've seen people wear around their necks) to hold her ID and credentials. She wants them dyed black. Of course, I don't want the black dye to rub off on her clothing so I need to seal the lanyard and probably waterproof it as well. What finishing product(s) would you guys/gals recommend? She says she also occasionally wraps the lanyard around her credentials to carry in her purse, so the lanyard must be flexible as well. I'm using a light 4/5 leather. Thanks, Dave

That's really nice. Are you planning to do a matching set? -
Handbag
phlegmaticdog replied to phlegmaticdog's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Thanks for all the nice comments. I used eco-flo saddle tan hi-lite diluted 1:1 with water and gave the leather a heavy coat until it had taken just about all it would absorb (thus no blotches). After it dried, I put on a coat of RTC and finally a coat of Fiebings antique saddle tan. -
My wife wanted a handbag to carry her knitting supplies, and several months later, Voila!
