That is a good lookin belt. I have a question on your finger cuts do you have a pattern or do you just free hand it? Second question when you do an inlat likee this do you you have the inlay go all the way to the edge of the belt? If it goes all the way to the edge does it effect your burnishing? Thanks for all of your good work and the knowledge your always willing to share.

Wichita Falls Roundup!
westtxcowboy1979 replied to phillipsimsleatherwork's topic in Special Events, Contests and Classes
I was ther it was a really great show and alot of great vendor booths. I finally got a Cobra sewing machine the customer service I recieved was what sold me on the machine. I went by three other vendor booths they didn't seem to care that I was looking at there machines. I had plenty of questions but no one would help. It was my first experiance going to a show like that I would recommend it to everyone. Over all it was a great expirance. -
What kind of lacquer do you use?

First thing did you wash all of the oil off of the steal wool? I let my roon sit for at least two weeks. I shake the mixture every couple of days and let the gas out. It will begin to look like brown water. I then use a coffe filter and strain the mix into a clean container. Then it's read to go. I hope this helps.

Check out Leather wranglers Inc. I have bought two knifes from them and I could not be happier with them. Ithink they run around 135 but they are worth every penny. they stay sharper longer and quick to take an edge.

How do I get consistent stitch holes?

I use a dermel tool with a small drill bit for holes when I need to hand stitch. You might give it a try it works for me. -
