    Really really nice work!

    I finally completed this flintlock cover for my brother. The pattern is from Track of the Wolf, 3-4 oz veg tan lined with veg tan pigskin. The pattern is pulled from pictures of the stock of an original Pennsylvania long rifle made right here in Lancaster PA in the 18th century. The tooling got a little out of it's bounds but this was a speed tooling prototype.

    Good looking bag! I started into leatherwork over a year ago to make myself flintlock accessories. Over a year and few grand in tools and supplies and I still haven't made a possibles bag. :-\

    And don't forget that Springfield Leather Company sells a number of different options cut by the foot. I know what you are saying though. I keep hoping to buy a whole side of Wickett & Craig but I hate to invest the money right now to have it sit around. At the moment I only have natural veg tan with the exception of an interesting piece of dyed goat and sheepskin direct from Morocco...

    Very nice tray, @AndyL1! Do you mind sharing which font you used for the monogram? Thanks!

    I love my Barry King 1 LB Tapered maul that I got used from a fellow member. http://www.barrykingtools.com/roundmauls.htm http://springfieldleather.com/Maul-Barry-King-TaperHead-16oz

    Do you still have the webbing?

    Oh, I went to a hardware store/ag shop and picked up 1/2" Closed Cell Foam and that is a great base for my 1" hunk of marble. The stone is thick enough that the foam doesn't affect tooling but it really cuts down on the sound.

    Absolutely check out a counter top place. Most of you probably have one within driving distance and they're happy to give you some nice pieces.

    Correction, I use the 002 but its a little large for .8 thread. I was actually using the Tandy's size small.

    Hmm, does this mean the legendary @Dangerous Beans does in fact lurk in the shadows of this forum?

    And there you have it, the best advice one can give. Use the materials appropriate for the intended purpose. I think the reason so many people use art paper is because they are creating a rustic/fantasy looking journal often in earthtones but good quality, heavy printer paper would be ideal for a more refined product.

    I believe most people use decent weight art paper from large art tablets.

    Not to dredge this debate back up but both Tandy and Weaver's now offer first responder discounts.

    Incredible use of color and tooling.

    What Tannery?

    I'm assuming you're not interested in selling the concave bevelers separately?

    Leodis Leather has excellent videos including one on tools.

    Hello!

    Sceaden replied to lomfs24's topic in Member Gallery

    LOL, right on. I started out because I wanted to make about $50 worth of flintlock accessories... a few grand later...

    Gorgeous work! I must say, I don't think I have ever seen someone do this with stamps but it's incredible!
  24. Sceaden
    What do you want for the concave bevelers and what sizes?
  25. Sceaden
    Very nice work!
