the thumbnail is good enough for me. Rock on! Damon

If your a southpaw then that's the best one to start off with unless your going to use a round knife or a skiving knife, in my opinion. Damon

I have the pack and I will tell you, it's one of the more sought after and expensive packs you can get, I think that I paid almost $45 for mine. If memory serves it has something like 20-25 patterns. I would say if your in the SCA or LARP or similar get it.

I've heard of someone who took the foot to a machine shop and drilled a hole big enough and deep enough for a stamping handle to be inserted held in place with a set screw.

Can you show us a pic of it in action? Damon

I don't know about Sheridan style patterns but if your just looking for some somewhat simple pics to work with just do a simple google/bing search for tattoo flash. Damon

Vellum works good with an ink jet, I use to do it all the time until work got in my way. Damon

Could you please add me too. The more the merrier Damon

WOW!!!

Cool! What weight of leather did you use for it?

Here's another good ol' southpaw here. While I don't suffer from tendinitis, I do have arthritis in all my major joints and it's starting to go into my hands (and I'm only 35!). Right now the only tool I have some difficulty with is my stitch groover. Damon

There was someone who posted a video on youtube a while back on making a bag. Hope you find this useful. http://www.youtube.c...eos=WqQLia__yhc Damon

I made a lanyard for some ID cards I have and what I do is that when I get the length I want I start making a box braid with the last 2 layers going through the ring that I hang the cards on so that the box braid doesn't slide. Here's a pic of what I did

I got an email from Dave about 2 hours ago stating that George was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Damon

there is a way to make a ring that is 1 piece with no stitching or staples but I'm not too sure if there is anyone on this forum that knows how to. But if there is I'd like to learn how to also Damon

The forums got revamped a few months back and I think that some of the pictures were lost or simply haven't made their way back on yet. Damon

Looks great. Love the stiching Damon

Who made it?

Here's a picture of Freyr's boar from Norse mythology. Maybe this is something along the lines of what your looking for. http://www.dragonoak.com/altars/AsatruAltar3.JPG Damon

Thanks for the offer. Kids don't bother me, I have 3 and the youngest turned 8 on Friday. Let me take a rain check on that, depends on if I get stir crazy. It looks like that the Mobud Tandy location is the closest to me so in a couple of days after I really settle in I might swing by there after work to check them out

Work has sent me down to SA for the next 4 weeks (maybe more) and I was wondering if any groups gathers at one of the Tandy stores here? I'd like to meet a few of you and maybe pound some leather and learn something for ya'll, I did bring my tools with me. The hotel I'm staying at is on the north side of town but I could be talked into traveling a little bit on a weekends. What do you all think? Damon

Hi there, I haven't seen an anhk or penticle stamp in ages (as in 10+ years). I would try ebay or find a leather crafter at a renfair or something of the like. Damon

My employer is sending me to Shreveport, LA for a minimum of 6 months and the nearest Tandy store is New Orleans. Does anyone know if there's any other good leather store in the northern LA area? Damon

I'm using the oil based dye and no I forgot to put some leather sheen on it. I have a new piece cut out and I'll try to make it again. Thanks for the help. Damon

I tried to rework a belt for my father in law for x-mas. I cut it out, dyed & buffed it out to a nice shine but I noticed about half way through putting some decorative stitching on it that the white thread was picking up the dye. Did I not let it set long enough after dying? (it sat for about 24 hrs.) I used Fiebing black dye Damon
