Its not really. In the 35 years I've had it I think I've used it no more than 3 times. The air pressure goes down very quickly, after only about less than a minute of spraying then you need to use a compressor to recharge it, so you / I might just use a regular spray brush running off the compressor

I got that for about 1 minute earlier this morning. I also got on other forums. Odd thing was two pages/tabs on one forum wouldn't connect but a third page/tab on that same forum ran normally

I know you're having fun but an easier solution is an ordinary home mist sprayer; the type sold for spraying water on to plants, or spraying cleaner on windows. I used one to spray diluted Resolene on some things And I found my Jenni Can and got it cleaned up. I think it might still work Air in valve on left, release valve on right. The top unscrews for putting the fluid in. It takes a range of different changeable spray heads

Looks very nice so it does Have you a cork stopper for it?

Ask Le Prevo if they have any in stock

I started to make another dice cup today. I'm making it the same way. I cut my piece from a different hide but of the same thickness. I cut it to size with the flesh side out. Then I turned it around. A very slight gap, maybe, its under 1mm, maybe as little as under 0.5mm. Close enough to be the same size

Two ways I've done a transfer 1. print out normal. case the veg tan. lay the printout on top of the leather and using a ball-point modelling tool go over the design, press hard and the leather will take the impression 2. put design on top of dry leather but with a piece of carbon copy paper in between. use the ball point modelling tool and the design will transfer

A thought; get a spray can which has a rotatable nozzle. On some cans the nozzle where the paint comes out can be rotated through 90 degrees. Thus you can get a thin tall spray or a thin wide spray. Sometimes the nozzle head with this can be taken off one can and put on another

This subject came up in another thread but I can't find it right now I made one if these thingies out of a scrap piece of clear acrylic

I have a thing called a 'Jenni can'. Its basically the same. Recommended PSI is about 50 max. Its many years since I used it. I found it recently, then misplaced it again afair the valve on the Jennie is all metal and screwed into the bottle

There are about 6 or 8 different airbrush to hose fittings. I suggest you contact this model shop. He may be able to fix you up with the correct fittings or adapter. He has an excellent reputation here in the UK but he's down your way https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/amodelerclub

The compressor should never get that hot Is it an 'oil less' one or is there an oil filling plug on it?

Is this in the correct section of the forum?

All that. Check them all over carefully and sell them. I still have some 'medieval' style kit made about 15 - 17 years ago at least which I still take out to selling pitches - when I can get out that is. Looked after that leather stuff will last a whiles

Wash it down with a strong lemon juice/water mix

Make some Walnut ink, add some rusty nails and some lamp black as you make it. Make a lot, thin with water and add a little NFO. Apply to leather. Coat with beeswax well rubbed in and buffed up

May be time to message Joanna about this. I think its deep in the system. I had a similar problem on another forum when the owner did some adjustments or something and forgot to re-establish permissions for everybody

Its ok for me https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/49-critique-my-work/ and I can see your last posting, about 9 hours ago

I often use a tubed contact glue called 'UHU', Also if you thin a standard contact adhesive with its maker's cleaner the thinner adhesive is less stringy and much like that in the video

I finally got the proverbial out and bought some of these hook blades this morning and in the afternoon used one to do some rough out cutting of some pieces in thin leather. I think I now prefer this blade to a standard one for that use. I could slide the blunt outside part of the hook on my table and just pull the blade through the leather, the leather being lifted off the table a bit by the hook shape

I once used front projection in my wood toy making business. It was horizontal though. I projected the outlines & line details of cartoon characters on to white painted board, which was then cut out and painted for decorating walls and fences of childrens' nursery schools. By projecting the drawing on to the board I could vary the height of the cartoon figure, from 2ft tall to 7 ft tall I think the same would work for leather patterns. You could vary the size of the project without having to draw a new card pattern The biggest drawbacks I found were; keeping the board perfectly still, and thus in alignment, whilst drawing on it, and me getting in the way of the projected image, I got used to doing the twist and squirming around to get out of my own shadow

I got some designs made by Le Prevo I found that with the photo-etch there isn't a very sharp outline because the edge of the design is at an angle, unlike CNC cutting in brass which gives a very sharp line. Also, the photo etch could not resolve very fine lines But it is still an option

Do you want links to my stamp makers in China? eg; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142322898759?var=441360988490 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384571997548 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384585885915?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D240364%26meid%3D5f65f00c91b244278b701d91fd3da483%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D384571997548%26itm%3D384585885915%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseWebMskuAspectsV202110NoVariantSeedWithRevOpt90NoRelevanceKnnRecallV1%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851&amdata=cksum%3A3845858859155f65f00c91b244278b701d91fd3da483|enc%3AAQAHAAABQAoNKsJM3HOHkM0OuV9XKcsoXSMLk3wBBxTIYdgqgcSsJbD%2BWQW2%2Fi9%2FH9y8TZ%2F9TU3Es3oTKRolT9u5mF91RnSGjcRDdDpXI3GNi9QMheFP623sd2luaveQWWobQW5%2FEb6aJC7BAefj30lHP8W3v24yRic5lU6o7PY27jWrVMhd9lC2iPU1AqgmGjESeLBaFK3khYOI4r%2BKGBPs5xNo%2FnizIZqI5qzjSS4v7O0n3Df6JYGG5SoGKLTCZ%2BhzGamp6x3J0o50KaId%2FwnKtaQuQIwyzcB%2BnYHMK3rvF0aC7WmV1gsaqaFsC1mUA%2Btsr0izne%2B%2Ff4%2Bze6gkF9kbfDQAg0FYsXgBLbRQcd5yOEDgBoxlyVg%2BPyKswZItbqglyALSRE7Bo5r1dH%2BtjU%2Fr%2FkslSoyZ36Nplk1TQsvAl8gvlDF%2F|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2047675

I was hoping someone would supply you with the info & links. Lots of them I've not been able to find any UK based maker that does a good job for an affordable price I use three different makers based in China. Their prices are very good, as is their work. But you need to wait. It used to take about 10 days from buying to it arriving but last year a few stamps took 40 days, although I think that was due to the special N.I. Protocol. I think delivery time is now back to about 12 - 15 days Company above, 2 cm x 2 cm = £59.99. One of my makers; 2cm x 2cm = £22.02, larger sizes go up by about £4.60 or £4 per cm, eg 3cm = £24.61, 4cm = £28.50
