    I would think that using tape instead of contact cement is your main problem. Why not use glue? Or am I missing something?

    Wow! That is a gorgeous bag you got going on there! Love the dye job. Really pops.

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum. Your tooling looks great! Must have been very cool growing up around so much creativity. Hope you enjoy your stay here, and keep posting more pictures of your work. Cheers!

    Excellent work. Tooling looks great. I don't think I ever saw or heard of a valet tray before getting into leatherworking. They seem to be popular though. I may have to make one someday.... Cheers!

    Very nice work! I'm sure he will appreciate it. I live right near Parris Island and see Marines everywhere I go. Good to know those guys are around if the world goes to shit... What kind of knife is that? Looks nice.

    Love this idea. I know I have a few of those wheels somewhere around here... And the hunt begins! Thanks @harryhorse !!!

    Yeah, I kinda figured that it was going to be a long wait. I didn't even ask. He told me he'd put me down for one. That was good enough for me. I'll wait as long as it takes...

    I put my name down for a pull knife back in January. Not sure how long his wait list is atm. Now I kinda wanna get a French head knife as well...

    Very cool! That is his guitar? Looks amazing. Why is "Buddy Holly" on it? I'm sure there is a story behind that. Thanks for sharing!

    I just found this one. Looks promising. https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/tools/products/non-slip-japanese-ruler Wish they had it in a square as well...

    I'll try this. I use Barge Cement. I'm sure it works similarly. Thanks!

    Funny, there are deer everywhere on the island I live on. One Island over I've never seen one. No hunters here and a ton over there. Strange. BTW. How is deer hide to work with?

    Very interesting. Now I have to try this...

    I try to be very gentle while scoring the leather on my first pass so that the ruler doesn't slide. Then I cut through on my second pass. I want to put something on the back of my ruler to keep it from sliding. Cork? Doesn't seem that I can find any thin enough. Something like this? Cotton Friction Tape I'm worried that it will leave marks on the leather. What do you use? Do you use anything?

    That thing is AWESOME! I'd be sorely tempted to carry it wherever I go, and bash anyone that gets out of line.

    They both look very nice. I've been thinking of getting some gator print to use for some projects. Real gator is WAY too rich for my blood. One suggestion would be to put the stitching a little closer to the edge. They look great though, and I'm sure they'll be much appreciated by whoever gets them.

    Looks really good for a first project. I don't do any tooling, so I'm no help there. but it looks really good to my eye. I'm new to leather working as well. Such a fun craft! What leather did you use? Keep it up, you'll be a pro in no time!
  20. Caesar
    I can't see the first five pictures. But, you have a beautiful work area. I've found that really good lighting has helped me as much as anything. Cheers!

    Looks really good! How is frog leather to work with? I saw a really cool blue snakeskin strap with neon green toad keepers that looked pretty slick. Trying to figure out making straps for my PAM at the moment. Got it down except for the keepers. Keepers are tricky for me to keep a proper stitching line on. Do you make a lots of watch straps? Anyways, great work! Thanks for sharing.

    Looks like a great area to get some work done! I've got a garage that I would love to use. But too much salt water in the air. Everything would rust in a month. I like your fold down table with the storage inside. Is it pretty solid feeling?
  23. Caesar
    Thanks Gary! Good to know. And thank you for the kind words everyone. You notice I didn't show the back of the strap?
  24. Caesar
    Thanks man!

    Sorry, I should have listed that. It's goat leather on top and bottom, with veg tan tooling leather in the middle. Maine Thread Co. .03" waxed polycord.
