beautiful!!

ok in a real world people are allowed to disagree not darn thing wrong with that.

i use windows 10 on my computer it has a program called "photos" what i do is open them with that hold my cursor over the pic and right click , brings up a menu, click on resize and another menu opens that allows me to reduce the size, i use "best for emails and messages". rename and save in a folder. Its super easy!

there are leather loops that you push down next to the hook that keeps them in place.

Thank you !!

I like that reminds me of a ball pouch a friend gave me for my cap n ball pistol.

Interesting but yea the velcro and snap thing has to change maybe a side release buckle or some such like the one at this site. Good luck I'm sure if anyone can make a decent one its you https://www.paracordplanet.com/metal-3-4-inch-side-release-buckles/?sku=BTZ-3001Z-HPBP-34-&msclkid=f397cd386d4e149c5c3e92d7ec1d3c00&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing Shopping&utm_term=4580359286202363&utm_content=P2 - All Products

Congrats man and good luck! I worked in the physical plant of a prison for 30 year and most of my inspiration in leather work came from the inmate leather shops. You do great work so getting business should be little problem. I would suggest you go for some college classes in business if possible, you have the expertise for the shop now get the expertise for the office.

I would probably glue up the holster and liner but leave the skirt part unglued until i had the holster to a point where i could get my correct placement and angle of the loop, then cut and form the loop then glue the liner and skirt then sew. Bianchi already had the pattern so he knew where to cut the loop we never saw his first try lol. I have made one myself, unlined so didn't have to think that hard.

I honestly didn't know there was such a thing! What makes it different?

Happy New year to all from the Great state of Wyoming!! May everyone be happy ,healthy , and safe.

Thats pretty much what i did except i did the border area of the name also. Thank you! The usual way i do roses is i dye them red using a couple of heavy coats then buff a bit soon after drying this takes a lot of the loose dye off the higher areas and creates some highlights as well i do it when i shene them the shene pulls some dye so i wipe again lightly remove some from the higher parts of the petals. I used acrylics for the flag and dye for the roses i have tried the antique on roses and didn't care much for the look lol.

So how would you go about staining cut lines like this? I use antique but i dont like the slightly dirty look, i use super shene but some of the antique still sticks in the tiny pores.

Thanks i may try these.

Very cool of all the weapons i collect i have only one slingshot that i made from deerhide in the david and goliath fashion. I had one of the surgical rubber types but i didn't like it as much. Those pouches are quite nice also they would work great for many things, would be an awesome addition to my black powder bag.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful work

Yea would love one also but they are expensive as well as the compressor and the air drier. I had a dentist friend who used to give me his used bits for my Dremel lol.

They look very comfortable , a table magnifier doesn't work for me a move around to much for that. I also need them for other piddling around i do too lol. I am just wondering what the field of vision is, if it only sees a small spot.

wow very interesting! You should be really proud of that set its beautiful as well as an interesting look back at history.

wow very cool !! so how is the game played?

Has anyone tried a set of these for leather working? I was at the dentist office and my daughters dentist was using a set they seems like they might be a bit easier than regular magnifying glasses as they have an 18" distance for the work. I was hoping for some opinions before throwing down some cash. They came in quite a range of prices with some being really cheap others really expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Industrial-Scientific-Dental-Surgical-Loupes/zgbs/industrial/9060268011

sweet indeed! reminds me of a matting cutter for picture framing.

Skimping on tools ? Hmmm Does that mean quality or something else? If your question is all about quality then no buy quality tools! As other have said however is a quality box cutter that is 80% percent cheaper than a round knife skimping? Heck yea ! Skimping can also mean not buying tools you don't need. But as most have said the tools you do decide to buy need to be of decent quality to do the job you need done, i will add if you decide on non disposable cutting tools then by all means buy Good sharpening tools.
