How I now straighten leather for strap cutting
RedDun replied to RockyAussie's topic in How Do I Do That?
Adding that to the "when I have a cutting table" list. Thanks! -
I'm looking at your photos thinking "Wow, that is some really nice tooling, I wonder how that bay in the background is bred, Patty looks content- probably bragging to the other horses about her nice new breast collar, her mane is on the right (correct) side, looks like a nice set up with the fencing, where are the cattle?"

People who have inspired you in your leatherwork.
RedDun replied to machinehead's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Lots of the folks mentioned above and Mr Wayne Ringham- local guy who let me visit and ask questions and took the time because he loves what he does. Right after I saw him last I got a promotion at my paying job and haven't made it back to see him. I need to, I've learned a lot since then. Thank you to all of you here as well. -
Wow! Well done.

Think how boring the world would be without different designs. Personal preference- I like the look of yours better, but theirs look good too.

How did you get into leather work?
RedDun replied to Rolandranch's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
As a kid I would read through my dad's Back to Basics book over and over- always wanted a handmade pair of moccasins. Reading the book didn't make anything happen but it did light a little fire... In my early 20's I got as far as ordering some leather supply catalogs and then I saw the prices. Being a stay at home mom in a miserable marriage I didn't even bother to ask.... 20ish or so years later (happily married to a man who encourages me to do what I want & working full time managing a turkey hatchery) I needed wanted a new belt, but not with too much bling and one that wouldn't fall apart because I wore it everyday, carrying a holster on it, riding horses, messing with calves, gardening and all the other stuff I do everyday; couldn't find that anywhere else so I made one. And so it began. I love it, I love seeing the improvements I've made. I love figuring out how things go together and I love when I have a finished product that puts a smile on someone's face. -
That looks great! Thank you for sharing your process, I like the thumb loop- I usually put a hole in mine and have had no issues with it but I think that the loop is a great alternative.

Tooled Handbag
RedDun replied to Tim Schroeder's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Gorgeous! -
When gluing I use plastic wrap so to keep the glue from sticking to my bags of rice that I use as weights. Yes, I know the rice is in a plastic bag already but I may need to eat it later, wouldn't want my rice to be too sticky. The rice forms around whatever I'm gluing nicely. I use the thin insert between the layers in my cases of diet Dr Pepper for dying, small patterns and writing notes or measurements. Great topic Mjolnir!

Very nice! Does it draw out easy enough without the holster coming with? -
