i like that rich dark color and light thread combo. Looks really sharp.

thank you! sometimes we do go two, sometimes five lol. you could walk that road for a hundred and not hit a town. It is so quiet calm and fresh in the morning your brain just goes blank and any problems just float away as you walk along.

rightsy tightsy leftsy loosy the video shows you trying to turn the wrong direction to take out a standard screw.

nice hot Belgium waffles strawberries and whipped cream sound good to me!! i bought the store , kroger. brand it is about the only one here, it doesn't have all the spices names so I think I'll be testing out some homemade blends if i can find some on the net. its is a spicy blend which i really like but i cant reproduce it without all the info. if you can get Anaheim green chilis, they are very mild and make an excellent tasting mildly spicy green chili, i posted a recipe above somewhere.

sweet!!!! hope you had a good Easter as well. lol its a chuck roast or steak here too, tough suckers unless cooked right. I have to say i studied on the curry powder and got my curiosity up so I bought some curry powder the other day and just made a bacon, onion, and cheese fritata???? with it. I used about a teaspoon of curry powder in it, everyone loved it!! That is some tasty spice mix. You can teach an old dog new tricks but getting him to remember....

nice indeed i like that texture.

yup exactly the kind and it works fine as is. i would cut it down but i use it for other stuff as well, even picking ice once in a while lol.

i found that that alot of my sharp knife problem was actually how i was cutting the leather, when its laid flat on a table it becomes much harder to cut, your pushing against the leather causing it to bind on the blade plus trying to cut whatever you have under it.. I found that picking up the leather or getting some air under one side or the other makes it about a hundred times easier to cut with any knife. as far as sharpening if it can shave hair its plenty sharp. its not rocket science it just takes practice. farthest i go is 2000 grit paper for stropping if that is what you want to call it. Heres where folks fail IMO, create the primary edge with a rough stone, sharpen it till its as sharp as you can get it. The edge will cut but feels rough, like a saw blade, then start with your finer stones working to clean up the edge until you start to get a very fine roll of metal forming. then you strop to take of that fine roll and polish the final edge. Most folks i have seen that have problems sharpening don't create that sharp edge first with the rough stone, they go into the finer stuff way to soon and are just basically polishing the side of the blade not the edge.

mine is an old ice pick, most folks have never seen one.

I like floral, which ever you pick do a few practice pieces first before starting on your project.

cant wait to see what you do with it!

What do you plan on doing with it? A sewing awl is for punching holes in leather, a hardware store/scratch awl is for marking lines. As with any leather tool you can buy expensive or make do that is up to you.

beautiful work you should be extremely proud!! top rivet

the secret is in how much post you leave after cutting it off, takes some practice.

Hello!

what zulu and fred said but i would glue the sandpaper onto a popsicle stick so it doesn't round the edges on the outside then stick some to a drill bit of the right size for the inside. you wont need much on the inside. then touch up the brass piece too, it gets worn also.

wish i could tool like that!!

REALLY NICE!!

amazing detail for such thin leather. those are awesome.

very nice looking, that small holder is an awesome idea!! Selling for me is about the same I hate it, been looking at all the spring bazaars going on locally Jeez i hate going to those.

the leather holds just fine no need for any glue or burning. I pull mine out tight then cut them off so they kind of sink back in.

what an honor for you they are great looking holsters indeed.

actually i just posted what wiki had, its merits as fact are pretty iffy. I don't know much about the hat personally but i did know they weren't just for witch hunters or just puritans of that era. lol me too obviously. coincidently Ann Putnam was my 8th great grandaunt.

your a little off friend. A capotain, capatain or copotain is a tall-crowned, narrow-brimmed, slightly conical "sugarloaf" hat, usually black, worn by men and women from the 1590s into the mid-seventeenth century in England and northwestern Europe. Earlier capotains had rounded crowns; later, the crown was flat at the top. The capotain is especially associated with Puritan costume in England in the years leading up to the English Civil War and during the years of the Commonwealth. It is also commonly called a flat topped hat and a Pilgrim hat, the latter for its association with the Pilgrims who settled Plymouth Colony in the 1620s. Contrary to popular myth, capotains never included buckles on the front of them;[1] this image was created in the 19th century.[2]
