Tanner's Bond Contact Cement - why isn't it working?
Bodean replied to teresamwong's topic in Sewing Leather
So are you gluing finished leather to finished leather, or leather to metal? Just trying to get a visual. -
All your stamps are different from the norm and amazing. I wished I had money to buy all of them. I am saving for stamps #67. I have a plan for those, lol. Nice work

They sell on Ebay and take Paypal on there, so why wouldn't they take it on their own website? Strange.

Bar Fight vs. Sheridan

Nicely done, I like the composition of it. That buckle is a great piece. -
I use Angelus paints. I haven't used their finishes. I have put resolene over mine lots of times. I guess it depends on if you want it glossy or satin. As good as their paints are I would definitely use their finishes though.

Nice work as always Gray.

For maximum adhesion I would paint first, then resolene.

What kind of leather paint are you using that cracked? I use it all the time and never had any problems with such.

Feeling frustrated (example shown, critique needed)
Bodean replied to Reindeer's topic in Figure Carving
I feel the same way as you do with playing guitar. It is hard for me to comprehend. But I could build a guitar from scratch. Some things in leather I am better at than others. I think we have to find our strengths and weaknesses, just like in anything else, and it takes time. Many of us will never be an Al Stohlman, but we can be ourselves. I want to try the figure carving when I have time, but other leather endeavors keep me busy at the moment.- 19 replies

Bodean replied to Reindeer's topic in Figure Carving
If that's your first attempt it's a good job. One thing about it nothing I ever did came out right the first time. Through experience and practice you will get better. Just don't get frustrated and give up. Live and learn and experiment, and practice.- 19 replies

Very cool. -
I love to see your work.Your style is so cool. I make guitar straps also, and i think our dream is to see one worn on stage by a prominent artist. Congratulations. Perhaps my dream will become true one day.

You can order from Angelus direct. They have an option to pay a little more for rush processing. It's cheaper to order direct from them.

I suppose you mean metallic looking gold. No way around it buy the gold. I use their gold, good stuff. So is the pewter and bronze. May need a few coats to get it where it needs to be.
