yes it did ,The Art of Making Leather cases vol 2.

hey my friend, you can stop by once in while and say hi!!

you may have to skive around the holes so the edges around the marble are thinner and can form around it.

make and put it in the center of a round handle, punch three holes slightly smaller than the marble ( top and sides) so the marble can be seen and you can stitch the bottom side closed

i would look closely at the air brush also, can you set the air pressure on that thing or can you even tell if it has pressure? Your paint should be the viscosity of milk like the others say.

those are just fine.

you have enough to sharpen them just fine. now you need. thread, glue, dyes, rivets. snaps or buckles, beeswax, oils, a ruler or straight edge, strap cutter, stitching pony or clam, a hammer or mallet some hole punches would be nice too. these are for general leather crafting, specialty work like shoe making or saddle making takes various specialized tools as well. I'm sure I've missed a few necessities as well.

it depends on what you want your edges to look like. Full round, partial round, square etc.

try a buckle. they work great on watches.

i dress my edges up with a belt sander.

i think its to keep the copper from turning the leather green.

cut a piece of cardstock what ever width you want then simply use it to draw or scribe your diamonds or squares at any angle you wish. you can draw then on the pattern or scribe them directly on the leather. takes no math if you don't want or you can use a protractor to get a precise angle.

here is a link to the rest of the info you have provided us previously. thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

i'll do it for you no prob. no need to re write a ton of good info.

There's about five things in that amazon set you will use for any length of time, most of it is pretty low rate tools, we used to call that stuff junk. If you have the money buy the kit Bruce Johnson linked at least you can sell it if you don't like leather work.

we need to copy and paste the rest of your previous discussion on this thread!! get it all together in one place.

i make my patterns out of card stock or some such heavy paper, old clothes boxes from xmas, lol.

2 to 1for diamonds those are square so just a ruler and scribe is needed.

leather, eyelets, black dye wrap a piece of card stock around your wrist measure and cut it out to the shape you like transfer to leather cut it out, punch and install eyelets and finish with nfo oil and dye. I would also burnish the edges or possibly lace them.

beautiful set of hammers !!! yes please lasting pliers and how they work. I have a pair of those nippers in the first pic they were in my dads tools never knew they were for this work he was a mechanic.

Well someone had it out for the Texas roadhouse. we ordered a meal and it was literally served to us one dish at a time, I mean I got part of my meal then my daughter got a bit of hers then I got some more of mine finally my daughter got her main then mine then as I had already finished my steak my fries managed to get there just in time for me to ask for a take home box. All delivered by about four different people without comment our waitress finally brought the bill and she knew we weren't happy she just set it down and left too. All this before the dinner rush so only about half the place was full i looked around and everyone was being served this way and not happy. I guess every employee there was pissed at the boss. Managers don't care much either in these corporate businesses, its all about building a resume and moving on.

Are any? Professionalism and quality seems to have been lost in most businesses and products I've been to or bought lately. Couldn't even get a decent sit down meal the other day.

we are all ears write till your fingers fall off!!! this is good stuff.

your my inspiration friend

I like them!!
