Are those bulls to the sides of his head? The females add a touch of darkness to the image. Lovely.

I have used, and have watched it being used at my tandy. I have noticed that the shavings off the top of the blade seem to be VERY much thinner than the bottom portion that is pulled under the blade. I have actually glommed onto them and made very light, soft bracelets. Since they are usually suede side up, it makes for a lovely suede band.

What is sk and bk? I think I know the last one, but we all know how “just knowing” works, right?

Lol

Hello from omaha,

LeatherWeld from Tandy has worked great for me.

I’ve never even heard of them. ‘I’ll look.

I love new terms. Thank you. Now to hunt down the history.

What is “spat the dummy” and “Arvo”? ‘My buddy had one of these! Fun! Watch those corners, it’ll slide right out from under you at 45! Lol

Do you know you can mix pro dye to get a good color? just add 3 drops your brown and a drop of a darker color, red, blue or what ever, then mix it and test it on a scrap. Do lots and keep track of your mixes. It’s fun, and you get exactly what you want.

I’m pretty sure that if it stinks, It’s rotten. And the best thing you could do with it is pitch it. Start over on a new one. The salt is only a stop gap for maybe a week or two at most, if you keep it in the fridge or freezer. Wash the salt off and then soak it for a week or two in the glycerin/alcohol mix. Then pin, stretch and dry.

It looks beautiful.

Come play with us. Come play with us. ‘Sorry, late Halloween.

I really need to see these shoes!

Very cool.

But it is easy guys. You are already doing great stitches. Tight, small, straight stitches are what make a bag look either great or amateurish. I will admit that bags are hard to use a pony with, but other than that, nothing to speak of. Personally, I like a turned bag with stitching inside. That means a liner. My bag for myself is going to be made of a beautiful bit of latigo, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to turn that! With my sisters bag, I’m making a lining that can be inserted, or removed when the owner gets bored with it. Or it needs washing. Lol. Like I’ve said I’m a big fan of waterproof liners and removable ones. I’ve really got to get some pictures up...

Great bag!

The mask looks very similar to one in the ecomic Romantically Apocalyptic. By which I mean it’s very cool.

Ick.

Thanks.

Are you really using a screwdriver to make the shake shingles? Or was it just in the shot? Gotta love multipurpose tools.

Couldn’t you just jump the oz up to 5/6 oz for a stiffener? i don’t know, just asking. I’ve been doing brims for hats and use rawhide cut to shape. That might be too stiff for your purpose.

What kind of spoon is that?

My sister is getting the purse I’m making, warts and all. And there are warts.

You should. Bags aren’t hard. Everything you do for belts, you do for bags. Cut, tool, burnish, sew, decorate with conchos. Done. You don’t even need to use snaps or D rings. Rivets are pretty and can be your friends. Don’t forget feet. Nobody wants to put their beautiful purse flat on the bathroom floor or counter. I make a preliminary lining by cutting the pattern out in a cotton blend, then leather weld the edges of the pattern so it won’t unravel while I’m fitting it. Don’t forget the hems before you finish sizing/fitting. It makes the lining look finished.
