    i hit up the thrift stores around here for buckles as well the local Bomgar's store. They put a bunch of dog collars on clearance for 3 bucks last year, i bought them all just for their hardware lol.

    in my case this collar was grooved for stitching, the square ring in the picture has been sliding back and forth over it for one year with virtually no effect. No tears in the leather. With out being grooved it wouldn't have lasted a month. What I'm getting at is yes there are times when you need to groove your stitch lines . this collar is one of those times belts the same thing, a holster maybe not so much. One method doesn't fit every need its just that simple.

    good luck friend remember resist isn't an absolute solve to the problem you still have to be careful with your dyes.

    How do you think rough out holsters were invented! LOL . I use to have a boss that called it working faster than you can think lol he would see my frustration set in and he would shut me down saying time for coffee and a smoke.

    not correct, you use the resist on the areas you don't want dyed, or have already dyed and don't want to damage with another color of dye.. Once you put on the resist it will resist the dye.. As said above you wipe your brush on the edge of the dye bottle ,paper towel or a scrap piece of leather. Try not dip your brush up to the ferrule if possible the hairs will pull up the dye. For example if you have a flower tooled then you would dye your flower whatever color like red. Then so that you wont get the background color on it you will apply the resist on the flower. Then you can dye your background without danger of ruining the flower. Then if you want to antique your project you would resist the whole piece then apply the antique as directed and as you said above. you can use any of the resists that are for sale or you can make your own with the liquid acrylic floor wax ( I use Future) and water half and half

    Its not what you saved but what you gained, knowledge, confidence and ability to do it. Money means nothing. Idle time is wasted. IMO i would start with one of these lol.https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/winches/12-ton-capacity-hand-winch-62592.html

    not in the "show off" section friend! My only question at the beginning of this thread if his vid was in the right place.
  15. chuck123wapati
    Sorry friend but most videos are just sales pitches, nothing against you but that's the new norm and in my preconceived opinion, really why you are doing it also. You aren't selling a product but you are selling yourself and your company. That is why I don't watch them from anyone as I said before. I did check out your store its a nice start as far as i can tell all you sell are tee shirts so far. As I also said before I wish you all the good luck. I'm not part of this argument I just asked a couple of questions.

    How many kickstarters are successful? And what happens if your not one of them? Not being negative but this is an important part of the decision also isn't it?
  17. chuck123wapati
    well then there ya go! As i said i didn't watch the video mainly because i figured it was a sales pitch. Looks like a duck.....
  18. chuck123wapati
    my question to you. Are you selling the edge paint? Is he selling the leather?
  19. chuck123wapati
    https://www.leathercraftpattern.com/Pro-embossing-machine wow clicked on it and its 500 lol. sorry.

    These gave me a great idea for the next ones. A bit fancier while easier to make and wear. the belt loop will be cut with the sheath, folded over about 3 inches and a strap sewn on with a concho snap in the middle front so the sheath can be taken off and on.
  21. chuck123wapati
    Thanks Frodo! Thank you!
  22. chuck123wapati
    Thanks!! yup they almost snap in place lol.

    I don't see that you have ever posted in the advertising/marketing section section that anyone would have said anything like that. It appears most think it is advertising. Anyway no big deal to me. Sorry nothing personal but I don't watch any of the videos posted by anyone but I do wish you all the luck in the world.
  24. chuck123wapati
    Shouldn't this be in the marketing and advertising section?

    Used to watch a show on gold panning they would sell a membership and a book so you could pan in any of their claims they also sold panning tools and supplies. I soon figured out the gold wasn't in the ground it was in the tools, book and supplies they were selling that made them rich. Kickstarter is the one making the money and you are just doing the work for them! its as close to a scam as anything IMO. No thanks I'll make my own money.
