Go up to them and say " you look like you have put on some weight, what are you now x inches (add 4 inches to your estimate" They will come back with something like no im a 36 inch as normal Failing that ask there wife what size trousers they wear

You may find some lights flicker at a very high rate and that plus the needle movement may be causing or at least contributing to your problem, so worth a trial i would have thought, also slow down the sewing machine speed may help

So basically they object to eating meat but happy to polute the world slowley killing the entire animal and human population

Not knowing anything about you and assuming someone had told you to use veg tan and you wrongly thought they told you vegan, your reply is a insult to someone who tried to assist, maybe you could learn to write a more detailed question in future

I guess cow leather is Vegan as they only eat grass, but what you should be looking for is Vegtable Tanned leather called Veg Tan often made by tanning with the bark of Oak or other tree bark You need different thickness for different products

I used Carpet spray, the tin is used by carpet fitters to stick carpet or underlay to the floor, did not seep through using polyester/cotton mix onto veg tan Only needed to spray the veg tan side with yellow tape over edges not requiring to be stuck

Is there much call for Holsters in Greece, I thought they were tight on arm's control like most of the EU

Can they for instance make a basket weave with gentle 3D progress from shallow to high levels of impressions onto a embossing wheel like Tandy or Bunkhouse seen here https://www.shop.bunkhousetools.com/Embossing-Wheels_c3.htm This is what i am trying to make

Thanks Sam thats a useful software. not exactly what i wanted but gives great results for other uses in the future This Youtube shows what it can do

Thanks DJ but looks like propriatery software from that firm, but thanks anyway

I have brought a few items from Kathy at Artisan and she seems a nice lady and very helpfull. Unfortunatly she had to close down for a couple of months due to illness but back up operational now My orders were all dispatched the same day as ordered and a vegg tan belt blank was first class leather suitable for tooling / stamping

Hi No I have seen this one unfortunatly it only uses shapes that are built in to get the effect What i want to do is use a design with a .STL format which can be imported into Tinkercad and have that wraped around the cylinder The Youtube and my text book only show how to do it with tinkercad shapes like above or Text Other 3D software might do it but outside my price range apart from maybe the free sketchup software

riceived a sample of Soffian0 metallic bronze today 1.2-1.4mm from A&A Crack & sons at £4.11 per sq ft nice and soft

Thants a great patena, I think leather bags, always looks better with a bit of use and the die not being 100% cover also adds to the look

Is it possible to make a 3d Embossing wheel using a STL file of say a dog onto a embossing wheel I can see how you make the cylinder and how you could make a text wheel, but no idea on a 3D stl file or any other way to do it Basically it would have to fit around the wheel and be negative i presume I do have Corel X8 as well as tinkercad if that helps though not a expert on either, but getting a 3D printer "Ender3" in a couple of weeks

My question is with the end of the zip so low down, what happens in the rain especialy if you have to put the bag down, looks a good chance of the zip edge wicking up the water, other than that a nice looking bag but not in my price range

Nice looking bag well done

Not 100% sure but thought it was sedgwick that i looked up and they had a 5 skin minimum order at over £2000 so only wanted to deal with wholesale and a report on Google search states they failed due to lack of sales, what our US guys would say a "Catch 22 situation"

Matt did you see the post about Sedwick leather calling in the administrators

Sedgwick as well, that will leave a big gap if no white knight buys them

In England many prices are the same as USA dollars but in Pounds so $100= £100 plus vat, exchange rate Pound = $1.30 on average

Hi mat thanks for the offer So far tried both Tandy and Artisian for veg tan strips, thinking also of geting a sample from Le Prevo, been geting natural and antiquing myself How does Bridal stamp is it ok or to oily for stamping Be interested to know what you think of the bridal butts, about how long is a normal butt, do you get the 50 inch strips ok? Many thanks Chris

How about a portable flag pole and flag, once they know the flag its easy to see if outdoors indoors try something like this https://www.fresco.co.uk/product-category/exhibition-displays/backdrop-stands/pop-up-displays/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvNXeBRAjEiwAjqYhFi-RM_lr5HVe1wI6-lNIOP01Gifgh4TJLjav-rac5JxadOiwZX_NjRoCl3gQAvD_BwE
