    When I did mine I just did a dry fit, marked where to put glue on the horse. Put contact cement on the leather and horse attached when ready. I wet the leather just at the bend on top op the jaws as I stuck them together. Hammered with cobbler hammer and Bobs your uncle.

    Wife wanted a new business card holder. Front is 5oz back is 3oz Wickett and Craig. .8 Blue Tiger thread. Airbrush dyed with Fiebings Mahagony Pro Dye.
  13. Mattsbagger

    He uses predyed leather if you burnish the top edge with it slightly damp it will darken the edge.

    Personally I would just stick to what you are doing. It works. Maybe try the other Feibings colors. But stick with the paste as you have it down. Why fix what ain’t broken I say.lol

    And back to the original post......... I have 4 more( 3 shirt and one trouser) pocket protectors going out to 3 different countries when I finish them up this weekend. Lol ps @Matt S & @Rockoboy I agree with both your comments it’s just hard sometimes to ignore something offensive and it seemed like he was trying to provoke more than anything.
  19. Mattsbagger
    I doubt you will have any problem selling that!!
  20. Mattsbagger
    I don’t know what they use them for.lol I generally use 5oz on the trouser ones as I figure the are for wrenches or the like. One customer said he uses them for his wood carving chisels.
  21. Mattsbagger
    I don’t use these as I don’t have breast pockets and as a truck driver don’t sit on anything. A architect contacted me about making him one 2 years ago so I added them to my shop. Since then I have sold about 200 for pants and shirts. Sent all over the world. Someone apparently has the want or need for them.
  22. Mattsbagger
    I do...... Thanks you sir.
  23. Mattsbagger
    Thank you.

    Just remember don’t get to set on one way. My room keeps evolving and changing as it needs to. Things that worked last year don’t work this year as I add things. Since been doing leather only 2 years it has changed multiple times.

    I trace acrylic templates with a scratch awl. Then use a metal straight edge and rotary cutter on straight cuts and a clicker knife or exacto on other lines. I find holding a template with one hand and cutting around it with another impossible for me.
