  1. I agree with you on the right side -vs- left
  2. I like your coasters and baseballs - also I have an ancient coaster I used for practice with the first custom stamp I ever ordered, its rectangle, but same weight leather as the round coasters - and I use it for my coffee cup and I have no issues with it, its aged beautifully.
  3. We had bought a custom stamp from www.lasergiftcreations.com (not a maker mark) just a stamp my wife wanted. We sent the design and spoke with the lady who created the stamps(Sorry I cant recall her name, its was like 3 years ago) she created the stamp and sent - Very very good customer service. Once we got the stamp I statred testing it and realized there was an issue with it, I called the lady back at www.lasergiftcreations.com and talked to her and the issue was just a part of the way the Delrin stamps are created and there are some clean up issues that she handles on each stamp made, we discussed and the options were : 1. Send the stamp back and she would clean up issue and send back (That is great customer service in my book) 2. I could clean up the issue and if I caused any damage to stamp she would create a new one and send it to me. (Thats another sign of great customer service in my book) So I took a finger nail file and ran it lightly ove the affected area 3 times and we have never had any issues with the stamp. I would highly recommend www.lasergiftcreations.com for any stamp creation ideas.
  4. Absolutely - Lay that veg tan on your driveway or sidewalk and have a go at it, or work it with gravel. Easy Peasy distressed leather look.
  5. Funny,,, my 91 year old mother told me she was within 2-3 years of finally knowing everything.

  6. You can just imagine my expectations after I saw the back pockets you carved on that stage coach bandit a bit back, But this is actually pretty cool. (consider that me giving you a hard time from someone you dont know for the day) Thank you for the images (Consider this my thanks to you for your downloadable images)
  7. On 09/07/2012 You will have my vote, I really like the eyes !!!!!
  8. It really depends on your leather weight, as to gluing it down, - Just use some painters tape on the back and you should be fine. Gluing would be more usable when tooling a wallet or a lighter weight VT - a belt will hold up better to tooling. Good luck and lets see a picture when you are done.
  9. Sweet layout, it looks great and looks very functional. Got my ACE250 for birthday, now I need to work on a pouch like this. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.
  10. I would recomend GorillaPod - The Flexible Camera Tripod by JOBY - you can find them on the net from $15 - $20 and then use your timer if the camera has a timer, you get much better photos, but in due time - I really am enjoying watching what you are doing with the horse eye project - very impressive, I spent the weekend in East Texas, little town I spent many years in back in the day. Only 1000 folks live there so its not that small but it has a great community spirit - but what I saw a whole of were the younger girls were wearing ring watches, in all kind of designs. I dont know why that caught my eye - but it did and after that I started looking for them on hands.. lol - So I can see what you are trying to do if I follow along. Keep up the great work.
  11. Prayers are being sent from our family to Paul's - I was very fortunate to have him share his knowledge with me.
  12. This would also be a style that you would pick up studying Mr. Ben Moody - Tools and Swivel Cuts would be used to create beauty. You did a great job and its beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing with us.
  13. Wow now that is very cool - you did a awesome job ( that is some nice team work too) congratulations - I see where you have endless variations that you can do.
  14. We have used Brenda and she is great to work with and creates a very product.
  15. If your camera has the option to shoot RAW - you can eaily adjust the white balance in the file.
  16. In regards to your question concerning the Tandy Wallet inards - they hold up well - I carried one daily for over 20 years and only traded it out so I could make a new one for me. Also I have no ideal about this game - but I do like the designs you have on the wallet - it looks cool to me.
  17. Thanks for the step by step - Its cool to see that wallet come to life, you rock and again thanks for being willing to share how you perform different constructions of your wallets.
  18. Thanks for the tips and pointers on some practice ideals for the swivel knife.
  19. Thats a very nice walley - I would carry it with pride.
  20. Beautiful purse - That is a is a true tribute to the man who gave Billy Joe Shavers $100.00 USD to walk away from Outlaw music - Billy Joe told Waylon keep your DANG $100.00 I am a singer - Waylon asked him to get on his bus and the rest is history --- Waylon was so much more than a highway man - but he was also a member of that million dollar outlaw group too . Thanks for sharing your work with all of us.
