  1. Springfield does carry the same 4 ton clicker from weaver. If you look at the listing it shows their name on the clicker. I doubt they actually make the machine themselves,. Whoever makes it most likely customizes it with the logo for the customer. Springfield carries a Craftplus clicker that states up to 4 tons at 799.00. This is a new item they started to carry. They have a YT video where they are using it . If your not doing huge , huge business it would work for most of us on the forum. The video is DIY earrings with Liz. They demo it with veg tan stacked pretty thick, I cant remember the oz. they used but I think it was over 10 oz. I hope this helps.
  2. Which marks are you referring to? The numbers are for the original size of the hide they sold. Can you post a better pic (maybe larger) ?

    Christmas gifts

    Really nice work, I love the background work on the fourth one. Merry Christmas to you as well!
  4. I haven't bought from them in about a year, just for that very reason. Their shipping is higher than others for like products and shipping distance. I hope they lower the shipping, because I miss buying from them , they used to be my sole source.
  5. Nice work on the wood grain of the cross. The vine adds not only meaning but also depth and detail to your work. Great job! Rick.
  6. I can't imagine what you might tweak, looks great!
  7. 3/4 OZ leather and try looking at Weaver leather they are sponsors of Corter leather . Corter has free patterns you can access on Weavers site. They are not free on there own site. I hope this helps.
  8. Yes pictures would help to answer your question.
  9. Awesome design and execution!

    StecksStore?

    I have bought from them once. I got line 20 and 24 snaps. A few did not work, but for the price and the overall quality I would buy again. They shipped fast and that was during the beginning of the shut down. Give it a go!
  11. All I can say is AWESOME! And nice buckle choice.
  12. Sam said you forgot to show the blade. Nice sheath!
  13. Not a fan of tucking my pants inside of boots, but I definitely would with those. Amazing !
  14. Greta seems to be thinking "I'm worth it!" Very nice tooling in a small area.
  15. Way to think outside the scrap box
  16. On YT look up" measuring for a custom belt" , by Don Gonzales. This should help and good luck with your project.
  17. I hope my next project is "flawed". Dad will love it!

    Horse Buggy Completed

    Thank you, for sharing a beautifully restored piece of history that almost got away.
  19. I have bought several veg tan hides from them and have used the HO also. I have always got better than I expected for the price. You need to contact them, with your issues. They are a company that truly want's to get it right.
  20. Your tooling has really gone to the next level. Your floral flow is about as good as it gets. Your right about the depth on this one it looks very 3-D. Great job!
  21. What brand and color antique stain did you use? I use Fiebing's antique saddle tan and med brown. I really like that lighter color. Really nice work!
  22. Now that is TOP DRAWER! What a beautiful design, kudo's.
  23. Hi Paul, I did the same thing for our men's ministry. I made a journal for everyone (20), with the name and number of their favorite verse. I ordered a journal leather bundle from Springfield Leather. At the time it was on sale for around 70.00. I still have about half of the leather left. It was described as oil tanned leather, I found it to be more of just a regular chrome tan. They now sell a smaller journal makers bundle for around 45.00. The leather was not firm like a veg tan or oil tan, it was soft and pliable. Even so it made some very nice journals. The type of journal I made is the "field journal" style. Springfield has several templates that they sell. I bought the field journal template for 5.00. I hope this was in some way a help, God bless.
  24. Tandy has sent out an email with the store locations that are now open for business. The email also stated that they were closing eight location permanently, but did not disclose which stores. It looks like they are at least trying to survive. I wish them the best, I hope they make it.
  25. Not knowing your location is going to hinder the best source for Barge products. I will assume that you are in the USA. Try Springfield , Weaver, and Tandy. Weaver has the best selection and price . From 2oz up to a gallon.
