Case Trapper Belt Sheath Laser Engraved
Wykoni replied to Bert03241's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
One other thing you may want to consider when hand stitching. The punch size should be no more than the size of two widths of thread. The logic behind this is the holes look tighter and more like machine sewed. This thing we do is all about aesthetically pleasing, the better it looks the better it sells. Just fyi….the buff looks good so that you got nailed and the fit looks good. -
Take a look at an oak leaf. You have of course the main vein, then you have others that run down to the tips of the leaves, they are pronounced but not as wide as the main vein, then finally if you look closer you have very fine veins running off the veins that go to the tip. These are almost invisible but they do give the leaf a little shape. Now have fun with it.

I have used this product and I think it works well as a resist and finish. It is an acrylic so there is no fumes like other products. Drying time might take a bit longer. I have used it both as a resist prior to antiquing and as a final finish. At this point it’s “all good”

I can hand sew it or carve it but this sewing machine stuff is totally alien to me, your much knowledgeable about it.

Anyone got Steve’s phone number at the leather machine company in California. Thanks in advance.

Will order some, let me ask you a question, I will be making holsters, the doubled thickness will be about 16 oz will the 207 be ok for that?

I am using 207 thread. I do have some 277, the two PCs of leather are about 8oz together.

Just bought a new class 4 sewing machine and of course I am having issues. The problem is stitching in the back, the darker thread. The front seems to be ok, lighter thread. Maybe I can get some help. As you can see, the leather looks a little puckering up from stitch. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all, tried 50/50 but felt it was too firm so added more oil turning it into a paste. I preferred it that way.

Got some of both, thanks

Has anyone tried using a wax finish to your vegetable tanned leather project. I am thinking of oiling the leather and once tried using some form of soft wax finish. Like maybe wood finish wax. I know it will soften the leather and in some cases that’s not a bad deal.

Thanks Bill, it’s somewhere between 8-10 hours, long drive and with gas and hotel room won’t save any money but at least I will be able to touch & feel it.

Well cowboy is closer, matter of facts could do a road trip...advantage of retirement. Lol. Thanks all.

I am considering one of these two machines. I have talked with both Steve & Bob, but now want to get your Impute. Prices are about the same. I think cowboys basic machine is a little cheaper. Those things I know, can you provide more info on these machines. Thanks

Weight was my question as I have built several cases and if not careful they are heavy. Pretty work, what is the color of the dye you used and outside weight of the leather. It looks machine sewed, if not excellent work, and if so excellent work.
