  1. It would also very much depend on what type the history of the item your trying to replicate is. A utilitarian bag made by and for a frontiersman is a totally different ball game than an aristocrats possibles pouch.
  2. Do you mind sharing what finish you use and how well it holds up on a fire helmet?
  3. Great idea! I should give it a go since the ones for sale are so stinking expensive.
  4. I bought an Osborne awl from the cheapest guy on ebay when I first started leather work and it worked quite well out of the box and after watching Nigel's video and putting some elbow grease into it is great!
  5. I have yet to try it but my research indicates that vegetable tanned pigskin should work well. Chrome will damage finishes and as JREESER1 mentioned there is a similar risk with something like deer.
  6. Looks good! I would personally be inclined to trim the edge closer to the stitch line and then give it a good burnish but that's all the comment I have.
  7. Sorry Mike, I don't see much improvement :-P
  8. Thanks! My first full project was a notebook cover for my mom's birthday. I started leatherwork because I wanted to make a few accessories for my muzzleloaders and a year later it had escalated way beyond that and I finally made some of the accessories. :-) I didn't get into it for a business but I have sold almost everything I have made and have a few orders pending.
  9. They look kind of like grommet dies to me...
  10. Greetings, I am curious if anyone with a 3D printer makes custom craft aid style items? I would really like to get something for repeatable design elements such as the Star of Life. Thanks!
  11. Great guy to work with, highly recommend doing business with him!
  12. I was just going to come say this! Excellent guy to deal with.
  13. Outside of a tooling pattern I think this was my first project.
  14. Depends on the product. Attached is what happens when you use Tan Kote over Eco-Flo Antique Gel for a coaster that is exposed to a lot of sweating glasses. Resolene is much more water resistant.
  15. very nice work with a lot of cool texture due to the different leathers used.
  16. My bad! I got the catalog by email but didn't see it in my inbox, I guess it was too similar to the rest of the pile. Thanks,
  17. A shame, I was hoping to try their Red. I have a small roll of Tiger in Red and it just seems too pale and washed out.
  18. Are you all discontinuing this line of thread?
  19. I pm'd you but didn't receive a catalog yet. Thanks!
