A BIG HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL YOU DADS TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GREAT TIME. josh

Thanks Clay that's great Josh

Your the man Roger that's a winner Josh

howdy Badger Get better ya hear we need you out there pounding some leather. Josh

Wow that's just not fare you are the luckest man alive Josh

You haven't sealed so it will still work how ever I must say if you want the color to be as is then your going to be unhappy if you have used a water base dye othe wise you should be fine get it wet let it case run it threw and let dry good luck Josh

Angel Howdy first off EASY there is no such thing any were any place on the web or on the ground, That having been said etsy is a powerfull tool but lots of sellers it's tough biz you got to advertise , I would also say to check out craft fairs they sell pretty good. Best of luck Josh

Very nice mark thanks for sharing Josh

This is my method as well just was curios thanks Marlon Josh

I feel like we are all wondering in shadow here the question is not clear enough to be answered fully. We need some more input Josh

Were do you get your clips at. Nice work very clean Josh

Very nice Mark as always Josh PS no picture of the liner darn

Very helpfull thank you Peter and rawhide One question not totaly related but I am wondering Peter how much water is in the leather when you start tooling can you feel it is it dry to the sight what rule do you use thanks Josh

I have had many such times, I had a guy come to me said he had upwards of 60 hand guns of all kinds and he was stocking ammo for them he wanted me to make a Rambo army type setup holsters of every kind around his body I was not comftable with his state of mind or his reasons for having the guns and told him I was not interested even when he grabed $600 bucks and said here's a down payment. Like Holly I have a line and I don't cross it for any amount of money I am Christian as well and I think this sets my line. Josh

Oh Boy This is a big day Happy Birthday Bruce Josh

When I was 4 years old I built a Lego ship the box said 10 and up, when I was 10 I built a football field in a box and my Uncle wanted to sell them said it was gold it was kick football type game but I could see it in my head before I built it every piece and part coming in to play, I would dream of building a barn and I saw the beams how they fit the floor how it was done in my mind like a drafting program clear and easy to my mind , when I design furniture I see it I feel it first I fix the mistakes in my mind. When I write my music it plays in my head and I go over it and over it, and my poems and my book I am writing it's all in my mind first just how I want it I don't sleep some nights I think I should move this buckle down here and I move it in my head, The leather is the same I know just what I need to do before I build it, know I am tired but this is what I think like and my prosses Josh PS bad spelling I am on my iPhone

Some great tips so far, I am thinking your saying the colored part you want old looking, Any way here's what I do for the old leather look, I start with the airbrush spray a even light coat over the hole piece then spray a darker coat around the edges, let dry buff with a rag, then I take a rag and take a little dark brown stain and rub it off on a paper almost tell there's nothing left on it, then I rub the edges of the piece lightly let it dry the buff, last step take some black dye on a rag and do the same as the brown dye heavy on the very edges, let dry buff apply finish then I might rub on some antiuqe if needed or wanted. With paint I apply it let dry the rub some denatured alcoholl then a rub with antiuqe. Josh Bad spelling on my iPhone

Glad you found us nice website Josh

very nice I like that one Josh

I like the Spartan helmet nice work and the phrase is a be coming a real cry nice work Josh

Great stuff Kate thanks for posting Josh

Me too Luke I use a lot of tan kote as well and some neat lac Josh

Luke I agree but dosent sound like those things can be found. Josh

OK know were geting some were good work Kate, so there are tons of sealers out there it's just a matter of what is in you area you can get waxes and what not also if you have some sort of home improvment store buy a water base sealer that is used for wood those work well Also craft stores have sealers. Hope that helps Josh
