    Sorry, I might not have been clear. I can see buying options as: 1. Full Setup (Cutting Device plus Clamp {if we even will offer the clamp}) 2. Cutting Device 3. Clamp (if we even offer this)

    This is very appealing to the eye and he will put it to good use!

    It is a razor blade, so changing it out is very simple. Once we figure out if we can get them produced accurately and affordably, then I will have more information to share. However, I can't help but think we will sell it as full set up, just cutter, and just frame.

    We are currently in research to make these available. No ETA on this project, but just want to let you know this is in the works.

    I just put the gauge on it and it is reading right around 2 oz. I would think that it is mostly used as inlays and the likes.

    Here is some Fish Leather we carry. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Fish-Whiskey A good edge paint is Fenice edge paint. Which if you search the forums your will find some posts about it. Like other have said I want to say as well. Make sure your edge is done before you even paint it. If someone wouldn't say wow look at the edge without paint...then the edge isn't ready to paint. The Youtube video posted here of edge painting and sanding shows how clean his edge is before paint. My personal projects...I have sanded then even used Gum Trag to slick the fine "hairs" down....then painted after the Gum Trag dried. If the processes isn't followed how some say it...then you can't expect the results that they might get it.

    I know most of you get the news letter, but I assume not everyone here does. So, I am got to share one of the items of the news letter and that is Ostrich Legs. http://springfieldleather.com/Leather/Exotic/Ostrich

    When you sand the paint Rustic what grit sand paper are you using? Or are you using the stone? If the grit is under 100 then you are using too coarse of sand paper.

    Sand the edge then paint, let dry, wet sand the edge, paint, dry, wet sand, paint, dry so on and so on until you the the smoothness you want out of a painted edge.

    I'm also a fan of the thick thread, but we all have our own styles. I can see where a thinner thread would look good as well if it were a evening type of bag.

    As far as I am aware they are basically the same. Except the starting color. They will both dry clear.

    Your abilities are a beautiful art for sure. You still have it in there and it is easily seen. Your knowledge of the leather world is something we hope we don't lose here! Keep up your fight!

    I actually went and made a Field Note yesterday. I used a different pen holder and card slots a bit different.

    Thanks for sharing, this is a really awesome story! CONGRATS!!

    The suggestion I would have is to make your grooves and stitch marks, then dye the piece. But before that you want to tool or stamp. When you tool or stamp the piece you might even put clear packing tape on the back of it so your piece doesn't stretch and warp too much. After stamp then dye then glue.

    This is a really great point. Crafting helpers will only get you so far. Getting the style down is the key to making your own designs. It is possible to take the elements within the helpers and make your own design and then once you feel more skilled you can take it from there. One way to look at it is: Learn Leather will help teach you and build your confidence to get you to making your own designs, while the helpers will get you comfortable with the style and shapes.

    Personally I haven't used the suede dye. What I can say is that using the leather dye on suede. It does work, but it does take more of it because the suede will eat it up. Also, it will turn it a bit darker than what you are thinking. Maybe someone else here will have some help. As soon as I find Rusty or Kevin I will ask their experience with it.

    All the Kidskin I have felt has that extra little stretch to it. I think you made a great choice! I really liked that skin when I was taking the pictures of it. I made a minimalist wallet out of some kidskin, just because there was some scrap on my desk, I really think it is going to hold up very good! I just checked the review button and it works. There may be something on the back end of our site, that we have to "approve" them. :et me go see if I can get your review posted!! Love seeing those up there....good or bad...we are always trying to find was to better serve.
