  1. Put coat of Neetsfoot oil on let sit 24 hrs. Repeat till not dry. Go light you can add more can't take out. Then dye and finish. That would be my steps.
  2. Yep I like minimal boning. That a good looking holster alpha.
  3. Stitching chisels would be way faster than your idea for punching holes. Then the spacing is always consistent.
  4. Looking good. You are really busy pounding out stuff.lol
  5. Haha. Hardest part of zippers for me is finding right size. I hate trying to faff around building one.
  6. Mine are all cut up. But as to cutting through it. That take a bit of work and really wanting to.lol
  7. If it's a self healing mat it should be fine.
  8. Reading Fredk explaning what the were thefirst thing that popped in my mind was." All creatures great and small" tv series. The dude was shoulder deep in a cow every episode. Lol And I remember him "venting" a cow in the books a few times. Not sure about in the TV show though.
  9. I have that pattern in digital download. Where the bill slots are square on the end I made them round. It's cleaner to cut and burnish. Also the digital is free. I have other acrylics of his too.

  14. You can always take the bolt out and use a bar clamp on bigger stuff. I have also clamped stuff to the outside of my pony. Purses and such. Used a ruler with binder clips to make stuff not flop over when stitching. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. Lol
  15. There is no standardization of measurement between companies. Even Craftool and Craftool Pro. Some measure at the point of the tines. Some the space between the tines.
  16. I send the link to myself (text) then copy it from there.
  17. These are INTERNATIONAL events.lol We booked our room for Sheridan last year six months out.
