on the red you crossed one stitch everything else is perfect . I hate to tell you but you will be about the only person that ever examines every stitch of your work so if you think you need to do better than this to sell then your wasting a lot of time and worry. Ask your self how many times you looked at the stitching on a product to the point your are doing now. Get to enjoying the process of making stuff the human way you don't have to be perfect your not a machine. Lets see some projects!!!

I always thought i was about half Irish and half German. do a dna test you will be surprised where you really came from lol!!! the results change as more folks do them and more data is collected but still very accurate. i have no idea why the data saved as it did? i have over 31,000 dna matches on ancestry alone. Ethnicity Estimate Scotland31% England & Northwestern Europe24% Wales15% Norway10% Ireland8% Sweden & Denmark5% Germanic Europe5% Benin & Togo1% Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples1%

had to take this. dove on a brick!!! Her beau is behind her sleeping too lol.

something to do with your off cuts!!!

those are awesome, i make many of my own tools also, including some stamps, most except some real intricate tools can be made easily with stuff laying around the house.

Lady bug lady bug fly away home!!! I love it!!

I don't think you get the choice of who to compete with anymore so i price stuff as i see fit. Just yesterday i saw on my wifes FB page leather cc holsters popping up for about 20 bucks each because i searched them. I cant compete with them at all. Its plain however we now also compete with an algorithm, hundreds in fact, that uses in most cases fake bots and fake likes on social media to push its implied sales and quality.

i think its pretty much just what the person making the decision wants to make.no matter if filling a niche market or saving money on production. When i design a product i make it like i want it i can add the cost of liners or not but maybe I don't want it lined just that simple IMO.

aren't they invasive in Florida? go catch some.

awesome indeed love that python skin

lol one of you two are lost.

out of this world cool!! You folks are true artists in leather.

lol here are a couple more for your artistic genius. I have no doubts of your ability.

i had that once but antibiotics cleared it right up. i like bugsies.

That is purdy!!!

wonderful job it looks better than original !! I have three in three different drawers lol one was broken i made a new blade and added curly maple scales and even made one of those pancake style sheathes for it. One of my daily carries is a small old timer lock blade it stays in a belt buckle sheath i made. Then a three blade Case Stockman in my pocket.

i was going to suggest asking a barber or hair stylist. how.

and that is why leather is so much harder to cut when laying flat on a surface it applies drag through direct pressure on the side of the blade. Pick up a piece and cut it you will find the job much easier to do.

i love it!! i knew you would come up with something no one else would think of.

beautiful!! That'll hold your britches up!!

i see the best seat in the house lol. Nice view from up there i'll bet.

the video is spot on, i will say though they are stropping the blade after the edge has been established, or in essence keeping it sharp. You still need to create the edge before you can proceed to this step. Rough stones create the edge then the edge gets polished finer like they are doing to the point you are satisfied.
