    get a leather jacket, deconstruct it, cut out your design and use the pieces you cut out for patterns sew in your new pieces, resew. learn from your mistakes. When you are done you will know how to make them from scratch. My dad once told me there is nothing another man can do that you cant do. words to live by.

    Great job a very ambitious start to the craft.

    i would sew in a toe, if the wearer ever sits down in the dirt his gun barrel will be full. Dont ask how i know this.

    very nice!

    once you glue them together they become one piece of leather so they don't separate. make them flat it will work fine.

    i have totes full of every kind of craft or art book imaginable I love em! AS for your question i have not read those and was looking for a review or something when i found this site you might like also. There are a few books i haven't seen. https://leathercraftersjournal.com/product-category/books/ It might be nice to have a book review section or thread here somewhere lol.

    very nice setup. Ive never done that speed shooting stuff but it sure looks fun. I sure love to watch ole Miculek and Munden they just amaze me.

    Doh then i looked up and remembered my clock . It was the first pattern that i made myself unlike leather glass patterns have to be made so you can cut each piece without problem, some angles you can draw you just cant cut out in glass. surprising how hard a logo this was to duplicate and get the clock segments as well.

    Solder is eeexpensive nowadays lol 30 bucks a pound or so. I will have to take some pictures of what i have. I made most to sell and give but did do a few small windows for my house. It has been a few years as it was one of those tried, did and moved on crafts that i didn't find a lot of passion in i guess. I have a ton of glass and all the equipment in a box in the basement.

    Ditto A forum like this would have been a godsend. Where i live if you didn't know someone you were on your own with the only help being Stohlman books.

    Most if not all solders sold in the us now are silver solders, the percentage of silver is what makes them different strengths. Jewelry solders come in gold and silver also with varying amounts.

    i use novacan old master flux and canfield 60 40. Both are sold in stained glass supplies. Good stuff! https://www.amazon.com/Novacan-Old-Masters-Flux-Oz/dp/B000N6KR90 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=canfield+60+40 Mainly because i do some stained glass as well. but the flux is made for this type of stuff and is a liquid that cleans up easily.

    Why does a house burn down but everything in it burns up?
  23. chuck123wapati
    lol that's the part that's not quicker than a pencil and why I don't use cad programs anymore. But I don't do super complicated products and don't use machinery that needs drawing data.. I wish you all the luck. You may be able to change the size in the printer program to get what you want. That is how i resize my copies. I usually draw my templates then scan them so they come out right and to save them but i always have the hard copy pattern as that is really what you need.

    mix a small amount and try it on scrap. If it dont mix save the rest for small projects.
  25. chuck123wapati
