  1. I have made several cartridge carries with single loops for rifle cartridges. As long as you use a wide piece(I use 1") for the loop and make it tight I have never has one come loose. I have a sling that I put 5 loops on for caring 30-06 cartridges in and I have carried it all day and never had one come loose. I have even put empties back in the loops with no issues. I will see if I have a picture of that sling. The picture is of a different one but the same concept. Todd
  2. @JLSleather you sent me that link when I got my machine, I was just paying it forward. Todd
  3. @DieselTech try this link,https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Organ-7X4NW-DYX3LL-794LL-Leather-Point-Sewing-Machine-Needles-Singer-Consew/400730390609?var=670274800836, this is where I have been getting them, I think I use 24 for 277 thread. Todd
  4. I am struggling to get edges to dyed to match the surface of projects, particularly with light colored dies. Dark brown and black seem to cover fine but I haven't found the trick with light brown. Any tips appreciated, I am evening the edges, beveling, sanding and slicking with saddle soap then dying. Thank you for any tips. Todd
  5. Basket stamping, I have to really talk to myself along the edges especially if the object is not perfectly square. More often then not I end up putting an impression where I don't want it. I also second the no response to help/advice offered. If I try once to help and there is no response back(positive or negative) then I just pass on by the next time that individual is asking. I don't see that as much on this board as I do on other social media platforms. Todd
  6. If it’s a pattern I have downloaded or can scan I print it onto the clear overhead transparencies and trace it with a stylus. I get pretty much unlimited use out of them.
  7. The heavy brown paper they sell at home improvement stores for protecting the floor during renovations works good too. It is not as stiff as manilla folders but it comes in rolls 3 feet wide so no piecing together. Todd
  8. Hags, not to go to far down the rabbit hole, but if someone wants something that is a bad idea, especially on a holster. It is better to walk away than end up on the wrong end of things if something bad happens. If something happens and she is not able to get that strap undone and she is injured or worse because of that do you think they will remember thats what they wanted, or will a lawyer help them decide that your design was flawed and you are at least partially responsible.
  9. I am the same as Dwight. I tried using the water based Renia contact cement since it did not have the fumes and I could use it in the house but I had trouble with getting the same finish on the edges as I do with the Weldwood.
  10. If you already wet it and it won't stretch enough there probably is no fix for it. I have done the same with holsters and have never been able to get one that is to small to stretch enough to fit. Todd
  11. I roll mine grain side in and store them vertically in a pantry cabinet. I keep the door shut to keep the sun off. Todd
  12. I second @chuck123wapati I have used the instructions in there to make 1 rifle scabbard and 2 scabbards for Thompson Center Single Shot pistols with scopes on them. The formulas he has work. Todd
  13. @Tim Schroeder we get it you have an axe to grind but for peats sake give it a rest. If you don't like what the Facebook group has to say leave it but you are wasting bandwidth with your constant bashing of virtually everything except @Patrick1 and @RockyAussie. I have looked at the offerings and yes the narrow plates and feed dogs are going to be a great addition to the 441 cloan world but let it happen and quit harping on what others have to say that you don't agree with. I for one bought the premium package from @CowboyBob with my CB4500 and am perfectly happy with it.
