    I tested Darwin's theory in kayaks. Man, I love those little boats in a class four rapid. Then, I bought an old town when the wife and kids got tired of sitting on the bank, lol.

    much more diplomatic than calling us Domestic violent extremists like the last Alleged president did.

    What is it you're shooting for? A woman's handbag, a Black powder possibles bag, or some other usage? It's hard for me to comment on just an assumption.

    lol so do I among other weird things not necessarily leather related.
  5. chuck123wapati
    Maybe you need a better butter knife lol. looks like thin leather and a lot of practice.

    Finish as you would any other, the leather will darken naturally over time! faster if left in the sun.

    its funny it's the only title that they won't tell you what it actually means. It makes me feel special LOL.

    Not only the proper type of glue but the correct application of the glue is also critical to a good bond. Glueing and sewing in leather work is the same concept as gluing and nailing in woodwork; they work together to make a better and longer-lasting product.

    I just had to repair a dog leash I made four years ago. It has been used hard on a daily basis. The Weldwood I used on it was still flexible and strong enough that the leather tore before the glue gave way. Glue is only as strong as the leather is, no matter the price you pay for it.

    oh man, I love lilacs. Ours just started blooming, they are all over town, so soon the whole town will smell like them for a few weeks.

    Very good stitching.

    many times!! Right now, I'm struggling even to do any leather work. I have been on a slump since my daughter got sick a year ago. Fishing is helping a lot, getting out and getting some fresh air and exercise.

    I used to use a small set of needle-nose pliers and Locktite until I figured out they were much more expensive than rivets to install permanently. now I just use them for mock-up or adjustment purposes.

    Dang man, that's a cool lil feller, nice price too.

    Georgeous!!! but the first thing I noticed was the bottle sitting on a new paint job, LOL I hope it was the owner's and not the mechanic's. My dad would have killed me for doing that in the shop.

    lol wrong car for dirt roads for sure.

    If a car doesn't make you smile when you get in it and turn the key, then it's not the right car lol. Fun cars and really cool!! That suspension is what allowed them to go so fast. Standard suspension back then got spooky at high speeds. I had a '69 Merc Cougar, and you could feel the car start to float at 110 mph.

    My dad said the same thing way back then. He said he should buy it and store it away. I'm sure I would have totaled it and died in the process at some point lol. My older brother bought the stock version Road Runner in Plum Crazy Purple, and Damn it was fast enough, when you punched it that hood scoop would come up and got your heart pumping real quick. I've seen the speedo pegged!

    Very cool indeed, keep them alive!!
