    I ended up getting the line 20 and 24 Barry King setters. They work great.

    Just to start. The carrier in both are the same. Alcohol. The difference is the pigment base. In the Pro dye it’s oil based in the regular it’s a powder. I have better luck with the Pro as the pigment doesn’t seem to build up on the surface as much as regular. I also airbrush my dye on.

    It is a zipper pocket. I took a pattern and enlarged it. Then added the notes section. So like 75% my pattern. Lol Thanks I never worked with Horween I know a lot of people love it.

    I was confused about not knowing if the guns would fit. Then I saw you were in Australia. I made my dad a belt and holster for his Peacemaker clone. Had to hope it fit as he lives a 1000 miles away. Used the El Dorado Rig pattern pack and it fit perfect.

    whip stitch

    Mattsbagger replied to Frodo's topic in Braiding

    Just a plain saddle stitch should be used whenever you have a liner. Your whip stitch is gonna take a lot of abuse and break I fear. Basically I stitch the entire perimeter of holster if lined.

    You are gonna need a whole side to get 2 or 3 totes. This bag is 18” X 30” plus pocket and straps.
  10. Mattsbagger
    The straps are double layer. I didn’t like how the test piece stitched up. So it’s glued and the edges are painted with Fenice paint. About 4 coats. And thank you.
  11. Mattsbagger
    Thank you. Not using chrome tan much not super happy with the stitching.

    Here is what she gave me to work with. And then there were a lot of questions and pictures off the internet. Like this but not this. If ya know what I mean. Lol

    My daughter asked me to make he a tote bag for work. She is VERY specific about what she want. I mean VERY. Its made with the Granger Excel 4/5 oz.

    I saw Fiebings post a pic of it on Facebook a month or so back. They didn’t say anything just posted a picture.

    Looks pretty nice to me. I don’t tool but love how it looks and can appreciate the skill and work that goes into it.

    They brought it back about a year ago. I think it’s water based now though. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/eco-flo-tandy-neat-lac-8-fl-oz-237-ml

    I saw on Facebook a few weeks ago they were closing down. I don’t use machines so that’s as much as I noticed.

    Casing the leather is one of the most important things. Too wet mushy impressions. To dry doesn’t stamp. Yours looks to dry to my. I don’t tool but stamp a fair amount. And I use a lot of $3.99 stamps from Tandy.

    Tiger thread is flat braided. It lays awesome. But in the end the look is up to you. Cheap chisels are hard to get good results with. Check out Nigel Armitage Leather on YouTube he has a LOT of stitching videos and reviews of different chisels and irons if you want to stitch with an awl.

    Nope I only use pre waxed and dyed Tiger thread and nothing that big. I’ve ordered supplies from all over the world on Etsy with no problems and shipping is usually fairly quick.

    I’d stitch it. It will probably separate eventually without it. A dog lead is gonna be a heavy use item that will probably get wet and dry a lot over its lifetime.
  23. Mattsbagger
    Thank you guys.
  24. Mattsbagger
    Sorry I just noticed this. Thank you.

    Looks great! Speed isn’t the objective but quality. IMHO
