  1. and sharpen the blade! finishing takes time more money and some more products that cost more to you. Of course you know that. It cuts straps then gets thrown in a bin, box, or drawer how pretty does it need to be?
  2. a guy can can always make it more complicated heck maybe even figure out a way to tie to your i phone LOL. Make it so it needs an update weekly to run it. then quit providing service for those and sell em a new program and start all over again next year.
  3. lets see what cha got! I'm always up for a better mousetrap.
  4. that is looking really good, i use a my belt sander or sandpaper to clean up curves and edges, careful with a belt sander or you can burn your leather. I like the sheath it reminds me of the one Burt Reynolds wore on Gunsmoke.
  5. nope you can strop your kitchen knives if you want. wash them after ward. Steels are used for a couple of reasons one being because they wont get wet greasy etc and get ruined in the kitchen or butcher shop. A strop was originally used for razors, they are super hard and brittle steel, they were used to remove, straighten and polish the minute steel edge that forms when sharpening. A steel was used for the less hard knife steels, both do similar jobs on different types of steel. You can polish an edge on a number of things, i have several glass rods that i use also for the same purpose. Sharpening is what you do to get the edge, stropping or honing polishes and keeps the edge sharp until it wears to the point of having to re-sharpen again.
  6. Any rivet will do that if the leather isn't glued or sewn together just don't set them tight if they have a small head use washers on them so they don't pull through.
  7. i use pig suede alot the stuff i get is about 1 mm and soft as any thing else you could use.
  8. yup the best answer is always no answer but very hard to do. I was taught different in professional training. Was also taught about plausible deniability too that is really a good one! lol.
  9. question for you? Can you make and sell a tee shirt? Answer =yes. You cant use someone elses pattern to do so. You cant use a brand name on it unless its yours. Make your own pattern! make your own briefcase.
  10. use a resist on anything you dont want dyed first. i use a small brush wipe the excess off so it doesn't drip. Some folks do use the fillable markers
  11. thanks! all knife work except for one camo tool a seeder, beveler and background tool..
  12. You can use any length you want i dont think length matters as much as width. you need to match you hole size to your thread size.
  13. Especially when they knowingly break the law by coming in illegally! Those who would abandon their children are guilty of even worse crime. In one case, a Texas rancher found five abandoned children on her property. Border Patrol agents found an 8-year-old boy wandering alone in the New Mexico desert. Two toddlers were dropped over the border fence by smugglers. A 6-month-old baby was tossed from a smuggling raft into the Rio Grande between Texas and Mexico. https://www.theepochtimes.com/children-crossing-border-alone-hit-all-time-high-in-2021_4218898.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp
  14. I was afraid for my life!!! Dont say anything else until you see a lawyer. No matter what you use or why.
  15. price it the same way you buy it. So the receipts match what you have in your inventory, sell it the same way. makes it much simpler when talking to an accountant.
  16. you need a wooden or plastic mallet or maul, or plastic deadblow hammer, dont use steel on steel or you will ruin your stamps no matter where you bought them. How hard you hit it depends on the stamp size and shape, how heavy the mallet is, no real way to explain but it just takes practice. When your leather is properly cased then the impression will have a burnished look.
  17. That came out pretty darn good and yes i do!
  18. great job on the sheath! That knife is bad ass.
