Crystal You are a Star! congrats in order of course!

No ,you supper glue a strip to your forehead and sew the other in your lid!

Velcro is the only way to go! LOL

Thanks Art I did not get any video,Is it from Steve?I sure am glad you are there and I'll call Steve.It is a Cobra and it came with a mess of #25 needles and I have been trying some 346 tread.I am very impressed so far , just need to learn to drive the "Beast"LOL

Nice work Crystal, looks good to me!

Hey guys I set up my Cowboy cl 4 this wkend and at first it worked fine on 2x7-8oz then it started pulling the lower thread up to be visable from the top and a tangled mess on the back side!I hope I can get straightened out also,It sounds like atension issue as well.

I purchased 25yds from Texas Lace in Fort Worth Tx not cheap though!

Welcome aboard David this is a great forum!What is your main interest?

Thanks Kate that is agreat edge!Cant wait to try that.This is the best place to get tips!

I have used bronze shim stock from McMaster-Carr,New Jersey(nj.sales@mcmaster.com)

Good luck..I made mine so ...but I'll let some friends know!

You can also look at texas lace co's products out of fort worth!

Nice looking well made products..The key to making it happen! Liked the site also!

You are already improving...What I don't understand is how someone could throw Art like that on the dump!

Nice work I like it a lot and those Colt reps are sooo much fun to shoot!

Great beginners work! I would say the best thing to improve on would be Edging, check out the thread on burnishing the edges,I don't see any thing terribly wrong and I am doing some canteens right now, so I know how though they are.Finnish on the edge will make the dif. Good Luck!

Great looking dbl Loop, very clean with natural colors super job

I ordered a Class 4 from Steve on the 23rd of last month,sure hope it will do everything I need! Look on Leather Machine Co Inc.

Good jod Stephen,nice to see that new machine working for you,I hope to get the junker working soon ,but I need thread ,not sure what size I need!

Problem with that exposed blade,I have enough of a time with the Safest of tools,nic name is old three fingers...LOL

That is nice work ,good finishing job too! I know exactly what you mean about the hands..I stuck my self to the bone again last week..got pissed and called Steve at the Leather Machine co. and ordered a Cobra Class 4..so now Iv'e made the big jump...

I have cut out a wooden copy of the 1911 and used the oscilating sander to get a good close scale copy,3 coats of poly and attached it to a backer board of plywood also poly'd.Then I made a outside cutout allowing for the Leathers Thickness,beveled those edges and again poly'd that piece.Now by casing the L well you sandwitch your L between those froms and allow it to dry,usually over night.Now you will have your top piece to trim and sew to your back!If prepared correctly and poly'd well can be used repeatedly.I close the forms and hold them together with "C" clamps.Hope you find this helpful!
