  1. Looks like the letters are about 1/8 size? If so you might want to invest into the Tandy's 1/8 letter stamping set as it's less expensive then OTB (Ohio Travel Bag) set (I beleive could be made by Osborne) and others. Food for thought.
  2. If you are taking your photos off your phone to your computer, then you can also use the free app called GIMP it's a free open source photoshop like DTP/photo app tool.
  3. Very Nice !!! Was this a pattern of your own design?
  4. YinTx, Thank you for the information and your reply. I did not think about Fiebing's neutral antique paste, looking at their web page does no justice to the color swatches as the neutral looks a bit pinkish. I'll grab me some neutral antique paste and give it a go..
  5. If this has been covered and someone knows were the thread might be posted please share. I have tried searching the matrix and this forum, no luck as of yet. What I am wanting to do is thicken Fiebing's Oxblood in to a paste/and or antique finish. I like Fiebing's paste finishes and would love to have it in oxblood. Does anyone know of a method for making a paste base that I can add my oxblood dye to or other sprite/oil dyes to? Thanks in advance...
  6. Very cool !! Also like your work area, also very impressive.
  7. Art, What you say is very true. For the cost of me driving to Wichita Falls or any out of state event, I could buy three/four SK 1each form the different makers to try out. For now I believe I will go with BK as the cost is still less then Craftool, but not as much as the others. Also like many have said on other post on this topic, I will over time acquire more then one or two SK for my crafting. Thank you for your time and input.
  8. Thanks for the input electrathon.
  9. Thank you all for the information, I will do a bit more researching on the forums and take a look around at the other SK makers above.
  10. Invite please.. Bad jokes for the win
  11. Ok, I am looking at picking up another swivel knife and I would like to get input on what everyone thinks about Craft tool Pro Swivel Knife - Small: 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter barrel with a 1/4" (6.3 mm) wide angle detail blade. $75 Berry King - Small: 3/8" diameter barrel with a 1/4" wide angle detail blade. $50 SK-3 Custom Swivel Knife by Leather Wranglers $150 I have the Craftool Swivel Knife Deluxe Adjustable now and would like to get a smaller detail knife but also an upgrade. I know that there may be other knifes out there and I would like to hear about them as well. What are peoples thoughts on the above knifes and have or do you use them now or in the past, what do you like or dislike about them? Thanks for you help and information. Edit - I guess this should have been put in the tools section, if a mod can move if needed cool!
  12. Nice!! I like them softail slims may look into getting one someday.
  13. Ammo bag look nice, and I like your wine touts what a great idea !!!
  14. Here is another card holder I finished up last weekend.
  15. Wild Bill46, Yes we can get a lot of rain here in the mountains spring and fall seem to be the worst time for rain. I had a BMW R1200 GS for a little bit and I have a 1971 Yamaha XS-650 that I am slowly working on to get back on the road, you still ride?
  16. On another note what do you all think an item like this could fetch?
  17. Hello all, I live in Black Mountain, NC and have just taken up leather crafting as I am trying to find another outlet for my creative mind. A few of my family members craft leather, and when visting them this last Christmas and seeing what they were doing with leather, I thought I must give this a try as well. To tell the truth I have alway loved the smell of leather, don't know what it is but ummm the smell is something special (I know I am weird) Well I can't wait to share and learn what I can from this fine group, and get to know each of you better.

  18. Thank you Rohn.. As it was my first feather I am pleased with it and found it not to overly hard to tool. I am working on another case that I am going to try my hand at tooling a oak leaf. We will see how this one goes and I will post when done.
  19. Wow!! Very nice indeed, I one day hope to be able to craft something as nice as this. Keep up the great work.
  20. I like it very much and I agree with Ember $135 is not a bad price for a hand crafted item. If someone wants to complain about the price, let them go to Walmart or another store and buy a wallet made in china, etc. with slave labor that will not last near as long as your will. Just my thoughts..
