True, and cool just never done the braid before and trying to get some advice

Sweet, what about the design, can it be done with a wallet that has guesets?

Hey guys,a have a request for a biker wallet with a medical braid. I have some questions because I never done neither before. 1) with the Mexican braid, does that limit the design? For example, biker wallets with guesets? 2) what time of lace works the best?

Thank you

Hey brothers and sisters .I have a question.I have the generic small letter stamps you get from Michael's or hobby lobby. I was looking for a holder or something to put multiple letters into so I can have the spacing good and have words come out straight and not jagged lol I was looking on Etsy but they are really pricey. Had anyone created a simple jig for this and if so would you mind helping me?! -Ken

Still have them?

I would like the Cobra one but I don't have the funds..for $200 is the Tandy one worth it? I make mostly sheaths and wallets

Hey guys, I have a Dremel and s Dremel drill press attachment.I was wondering if any of you ever attached an awl to one to make stitching holes for sheaths? I want to do this but not sure if an awl shaft would fit.

Thanks brother!If it is veg tan,it should Burnish well the, correct? Even doing Natty veg tan, I don't do much sanding anymore when I burnish and I still get great results

Thank you everyone for the replies I am thinking of going with the sinabroks punches..they look about as long as I can find ,and sturdy .

Hey everyone,I want to make a few knife sheaths..What pricking chisels would you recommend to go through all layers cleanly?

Thanks brother! Thank you brother!Will do! Haha ,the initial color was mohogany ,then English Bridle,then I used a one off dye I got from makersleathersupply..idk the name I just know its a very very light tan I then used 800grit sand paper to scuff everything up and focused on the edges and corners to give it a wear look.Came out great.Sealed it with acrylic res. Now I just have to sell these lol. I purchased a swivel knife.I want to practice tooling then try giving that an aged look. I was surprised how well this hide from tandy felt.My last tandy hide was garbage but its within my price range at the moment. If anyone uses instagram.I am more active there.@Mauldinforge
