I was wondering how you guys do your final finish when you have antiqued? I use resolene cut 50:50 with water and when I brush it on with a sponge brush it seems to pull the antique out with it, I have tried letting the antique set longer and longer before the top coat but it doesn't seem to change. I looked at airbrushing but after all of the warnings to only do it outside I am not sure that is the answer for me, we have a pretty short window for doing thinks like that outside here in WY. Any tips or advice is appreciated. Happy New Year, Todd

I know this is an old thread but I just got a 3D printer and this bobbin revolver was just what I needed to organize around my sewing machine. Many Thanks for posting it. In the event I am able to design and print something I think might help others I will share it on this forum. Merry Christmas Todd

When you copy it use a clear overhead transparency then you don’t have to trace it again, just straight onto the leather

Tippmann "BOSS" Hand-stitcher for Belts?
Hildebrand replied to LMullins's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Major factor with the Boss is to make sure you mount it securely. I fought mine for several months thinking I could just clamp it down and it would be fine. It wasn't but once I mounted it solid I was able to get everything dialed in. Todd -
I have a Barry King double blade and I put it in one of the Tandy Economy black rubber barrel swivel knife's with no issues. Todd oops- I didn't read @bruce johnson's post that Barry King also makes 7/32" diameter blade shanks before posting.

I bought a yard of the Tandy artificial sheep skin, I haven't gotten to use it yet but it seems like it will work well and the nice part is, its a nice rectangle shape so there should be minimal waste.

@CreativeNamesometimes Harbor Freight tools are disposable but a lot of time they do just what you need for a good price.

I am with @BigBore on this one. I would wait until you are done with the stamping to dye.

If you don't sell them, why are you promoting them on this forum? I too am confused. Todd

I use the cheapest one from Joanns fabric, they have a limited lifespan and it hurts less to toss the cheap ones. I can't tell you if there is a difference in the compounds but I have never seen anyone on here point out a difference in cutting board material. Todd

If you have a paper pattern you like, there are several place online to upload drawings to and get acrylic templates made. I am in the process of doing it for a couple of sling patterns I have developed. Todd

I don't run a leather business full time but I am full time self employed. Go talk to your bank, they likely either do credit card processing themselves or work with someone who does. They can get you a terminal that is compliant and safe and help you get set up to accept cards. That way you are not tied to an expensive point of sale system that may or may not do the things you need. Another benefit is usually their fees are much less than square, etc. Todd

looking forward to ordering a few when you get it finalized and up for sale Todd
