Thanks I’m making a list now, trying to decide what I really need. I keep getting distracted by the ones I just want though! Lol!

That’s kinda the way I’ve leaning. Don’t think I’ll be satisfied till I do...

Trying to upgrade my bevelers and can’t afford BARRY King just yet, was wondering if the hidecrafter bevelers sold on eBay by procrafters are better than the current craftool ones at Tandy’s?

These are beautiful! Getting ready to start my first attempt at a watchband. Was wondering about the leather you used- what type and weight do you use? The person I’m making this for wants a rugged” looking band, do you how any suggestion as to the best leather to use?

Wow-just wow

Very nice indeed!

Wow! Just wow.

Did this for a friend last week. Think I may do another and play around with it a little.

Thanks for the info. I will give that a try!

Hey guys have done a radio strap for a friend of mine and was wondering how y’all “paint” the outlines around the letters so perfectly?

No kit- the flowers were from patterns and craftaids, I drew the birds and cross and just kinda put it all together from there. There were probably easier ways to do it but it was a lot of trial and error for me. Still pretty new at this. Btw I lined the inside with a taupe pigskin lining. Another first, I’ve never completed anything else needing a lining. Really like the pigskin and will probably start using it frequently.

Absolutely that sounds great. I will call soon

Thank you that sounds like a plan. Limited operational equity prohibits me from being able to absorb costs if I get stuck with a bad piece and I can’t yet afford the highest quality stuff so I would have buy sale pieces mostly.

Thanks. I live in Trinity North Carolina. About 80-100 miles from TANDY in Charlotte and Raleigh. Have order from them often but always go in person to get leather. I’m interested I. Trying Springfield or Weaver. Also there is a place called Zack White leather about an hour away, but I have been there yet. So I would just like to if people are generally satisfied with leather orders from various places and which ones they prefer. Thanks for any information.

I am a order leather by mail newbie and very hesitant to spend a lot of money for nice leather that I can’t inspect first...does anyone have any good stories to put my mind at ease.
