A cooling fan from an old computer would work also for such small projects.

If you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom or over your cook stove you can simply just do your glueing under one of those.

Honest answer: You have to read the MSDS sheet for the specific product you are using, it will tell you how dangerous it is to breath and what respirator is needed and any filtration or venting problems such as flammability.

Those are looking really good!

Great first project imo.

Good one. Yup they did and they came over here too. My grand mother was a Montgomery. So our country may be new but our people are the same old people with different clothes.

wow now thats concealed carry

That's a beautiful scabbard and will be an awesome gift to your son. I would treat it just like a saddle in rejuvenating it. Get the leather cleaned up and re oiled then work on the lining and stitching. I would use saddle soap and nfo. read the directions on the cans. NFO will darken it as will any rejuvenator because you are putting the stuff back in that has dried out. But nfo will lighten back up a bit as it evens out in the leather.

LOL Ditto just made a couple diamond blades from bare stock, was very easy on the back and didn't stink a bit.

ok whatever here they are called a set.

yea I take em off before they can fall off.

oh i understand now. Here's my bike can you put this set of forks on it VS here's my bike can you put a set of forks on it. yea no wonder.

You do amazing work!

Thanks!

Great start its gonna be a nice knife and a good learning experience. Yup you can sharpen back down to the temper easily if needed just take your time.

You want something like urethane plus make it replaceable. It's used as packing for electronics and such so you may be able to find it being discarded or you can buy it. its also used as personal flotation or those swimming pool toys.

Your very welcome. And also lucky you are right handed lol i didn't think to even ask.

LOL well you sure made it sound complicated or your bike mechs did. Our world is often hampered by the modern human brain always trying to overthink things. Kind of like building a jig to punch holes when a scrap of leather can do the same thing just as well.

Maybe alot of expensive bikes out there but not out here lol. My town is only about 7000 so just not enough high end business. If people seeing you riding a bike here they think you lost your drivers license lol. Front fork easy peasy, first off clamp your suspension fork so it doesn't move up or down then adjust the length until you get the feel you want, the bike doesn't know geometry so it doesn't care a bit lol. Then get rigid forks that length.

Japan. It's the one place in the world where the present is as fascinating as the past. Labels: Americana, history posted by VD @ 8/13/2020 05:36:00 AM Mailing List signup 0 comments Very cool story I always watch shows about Japan for that reason people there still feel that doing things the proper way is more important than the money or the time. Work there is still a very personally rewarding experience and those folk take great pride in their jobs.

I tried setting up a bike shop after i retired but in this part of the US there is little interest. To cold to ride for 6months of the year and most of the bikes now are so cheaply made and disposable that its just not worth it for people to pay to have them repaired. You can go to commie mart and buy a bike cheaper than you can replace the innertubes for. Very sad thing they, big business, have taught our young folk that the only way to live is to buy brand new and then throw it away instead of keeping it repaired. Why i love my MGB i can still buy every part for it and fix it myself. Back on topic Why not just make a template out of leather shaped just like a belt with the holes and end cut to shape, lay it down on your belt blank and mark the holes trim the end and your done.

If i'm correct you said you already punched the holes in your bottom piece. Form your gusset with extra leather for trimming, glue your two pieces together then you will have to punch through the existing holes on the bottom piece with an awl or some such, sew it together then trim the edges straight. Thats about the only way i can think of fixing your problem. You can pre punch leather if you are using a pattern and diamond chisels but even then its ify especially of wet forming.

original Campys!!!! I about died. Serial number shows it was built by the original founder was custom built back then for each person. I registered it on their sight. It was to big for me but my son fit it well.

you would love my 70s azuki ten speed. I also had a Roberts from England given to me for free cleaned it up and gave it to my son it was pristine the only thing not original was the saddle and tires and they were going to throw it away.

I respectfully disagree.
