I had an art teacher tell me once if you buy cheap paint you will paint something you really like but it just wont turn out as good as if you would have spent the little extra. Do yourself a favor and buy good leather and your projects and learning will be the better for it.

I wasn't meaning an ill intentions either, we are all under a lot of stress now as none of us know what really is happening. Here the population has been told by the cdc and local first responders not to buy masks , they don't help, all the while we hear they are needed for the medical field. I see some countries saying they are told the virus is air borne while we are told its not. Fact here is, although we aren't told this in so many words, if you get sick enough you will get a test , if positive you and anyone in your house will be quarantined in home until you either recover of get worse, once you have full blown symptoms then maybe taken to the hospital if they have a ventilator and at that point you wont see your family again unless you live through it. I just wish the media and our governments would be more honest. I wish you and your family all the best and pray we all make it through this.

They can still be of use to the populace leaving the others for the medics. I agree I will at least make some and offer them to those who would want them with instructions for cleaning in laymans terms.

tandy has their pattern free on their leatherworkers library.https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/category/85/patterns-free-leathercraft

very nice

Thank you

I made mine with a v grind on about a 2.5mm saw blade , the bevel is about 5mm. or roughly 12 to 14 degree angle. about 4" point to point

you need to do some research before thinking this is weird. 5g is using the same technology as microwave ovens and the military microwave weapons, and hundreds of scientists say it hasn't been tested for harmful radiation and is dangerous. Just as we have found older technologies were dangerous to humans we will also find danger in new un proven technologies after the fact.

Thanks all.

thanks, it'll be used while we are stuck in the house lol.

Well here it is a bit over my skill level, I kinda bit off more than I could chew I have more imagination than skill. I guess that's how you learn new stuff lol. A ton of mistakes but it looks good at five feet or so. The checkers are deer and elk antler.

Thank you! I have already built a leather loop that will go around the belt also.

excellent! youre starting to get that stretched hide look going.

you got me going, first thing I thought was backgammon board now i'm in it over a week and only half finished... maybe lol. Your boards are cool indeed!

agenda 21 by 2030 in progress. Virus spurs hysteria kills old people, puts in place global mandated vaccinations per Bill Gates that sterilize 90+%, or go to a fema camp, does away with paper money even though pin pads are just as dirty, creating a global economy. Easy peasy! Lambs to the slaughter.

I like the color you have on this one, it doesn't detract from your work you could also stain the wood a bit. I will make up a couple of hoops and post them for you to see. It will be a few weeks or so as its still snowing so I cant get to the river, also takes a while to form them properly.

did you get my message?

High tech isn't the answer, I haven't seen anything it really helped for the consumer.

nothing like starting at the top! Great job indeed!

Your very welcome I sent you a message.

That came out as awesome as I thought it would! great job!! Your leather work is excellent. If that's the hoop you bought let me know next time I'll surprise you.

Great job ! I like that design.

That's a great idea for the sling on both ends, I hope that edge on the butt doesn't hurt him it looks kind of sharp/ridged for the kick of a 12 gauge. But if he only shoots those low base loads it may be ok. I would think about rounding that edge in some way a bit if you can.

Lead caning knife for stained glass work very cool kife and good find it has many uses

I grew up in Wyoming a state with less than 500,000 people, what I couldn't learn from my folks or grand parents, I learned at the public library, or by trial and error. I now have an extensive library on almost every subject from rug making to welding. My only suggestion is to search out people that do it , like this awesome forum, or grab a book learn from your mistakes and figure it out. The one good thing about the internet is the ability to talk to people of like minds from all over the world. An education is bought , knowledge is learned IMO. I wish you well.
