  1. amazing detail for such thin leather. those are awesome.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. what an honor for you they are great looking holsters indeed.
  5. 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.
  6. 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]
  7. hi from wunerful Wyoming i like your bike.
  8. Beautiful work I envy anyone who can do that work. !!!! leather or not. My family had a 59 fury.
  9. i dont see the band aids? Jeez talk about taking all the fun out of losing stuff you did a great job!!!!! really like the sheath.
  10. should work nicely on those pesky varmints lol.
  11. Right tool for the job, the knife depends on the type, thickness, shape of the leather or pattern you intend to be cutting. so you will be getting a lot of confusing reply's unless you can give more info. Are you making saddles or watch straps?
  12. i mark alignment centers with a small awl mark right at the edge of the leather, it then gets cut off burnished or stitched over. Or in a place that will be covered or removed like a snap spot or hole. no one but you will ever notice unless you go crazy deep with the marks,
  13. i use a round awl, put just a very tiny mark, or dividers for lines. I use pencil too once in a while very lightly then erase it, get a good gum eraser.
  14. does anyone have a pattern for these?
  15. Right tool for the job is Needle nose pliers LOL
  16. We use cast iron for most of our cooking. yup anything Griswold is worth some bucks, I have a Griswold No 8 tite top Dutch oven, Bought at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Its a little small for cooking for our family so i use it once in a while for deep frying. That waffle iron is a real beauty. I also have a couple of those toasters in my camper lol. They are great around the campfire.
  17. looks like you got some work to do and an awesome place to do it.
  18. beautiful indeed!!! Our grass isn't green yet lol.
  19. then maybe stitch closer to the edge so no problems with it rolling up.
  20. curry ,nann bread and papadums hmmm Sounds like another tasty adventure is coming my way. ahh just googled those. Flat bread and crunchy chips! I'm used to flour tortillas and corn chips LOL. sounds good to me!!!
  21. I've never ate curry I may have to buy some, i'm taking it is a spicy spice? I love spicy foods most around here are through chili peppers of various types. There is a large hispanic population here so that's where our hot spicy foods comes from. I, ve spent many a day trying to get recipes out of my older hispanic friends. oh and of course my horse radish garden lol.
