lol as long as the roads are open to get the mail here in town they deliver it. Last year the interstate was closed about 80 days this year only two or three. They use these small jeep looking trucks and put on snow chains when needed. -
my edit button was lost also, about the time you folks gave me and Frodo the CFM thing under our names that no one else seems to have. Hope that helps to solve this riddle it was long time ago.

Thanks!! You all got a well deserved break from my BS.

i got a my pioneer license this year so free fish, birds and small game, that's as close to winning a lottery as i'll ever get, I couldn't be better lol.
-
happy Easter to you as well it was wonderful day.
-
nope I was not banned and I wasted six bucks last week on that lottery to no avail. I wont discuss the reasoning of my absence any further. I hope you all have been well and really really appreciate the concern, it does mean a lot to me. God bless!! Chuck

you have it you just have to figure out how to use it. I had an old driller out in the oil field tell me one time, "Fire ball"( my nick name because I was always running. ), "Fireball" he said "your working faster than you can think". Truer words were never spoken in my case.

Just think how hard it would be with out hands. God gave us everything we need to succeed even patience.

Awesome idea my daughter would love that, she uses an old basket that is to big and bulky.

i make the smaller ones out of cans better suited for carrying they are quite fun to play with and use but not nearly as hardy. I like your recipe, i have a bag of cotton balls stuffed with Vaseline in my pack.

its round, its purple, its knda cool lookin. My guess is a thingy to hold you stocking hat and gloves when you take em off in the store. At least I'll get three out of four lol.

Transferring tooling patterns onto the leather
chuck123wapati replied to TailGunner's topic in How Do I Do That?
dont use an ink pen if the paper tears you will have a nice ink line to follow. I use a stylus to trace. you can also buy craft aids from Tandy for pre made designs. -
They did, they also used some oils depending on the use of the leather. Oils make your leather soft so you use them as you want your leather to become. I would tend to think saddle makers didn't want a lot of softness but more long term water resistance so didn't use much. Other old recipes I've seen have had added oils. Do you feel like you've walked around the Grand canyon and just got back to the parking lot lol.

So basically just do the same thing the old guys back in 1895 did, and the old guys in the 1700s, 1600s, 1500s...

i figure two days to make one batch, one to collect the fresh flowers, herbs, and a day to distill and collect the oils. Get some really nice smelling pipe tobacco and smoke your leather with it.

yes I just picked some up at the store but we did add some lemon juice as well to the one. I would like to try and make some someday but finding the time during the spring is difficult.

Leather Finishing Cream Suggestions

Boo... on the dye job! Need suggestions!
chuck123wapati replied to AWORKOFMARC's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
it actually matches the mottling of the outer piece, i would use it and call it a happy accident. -
tallow, greases and oils all have specific melting points and is one thing that defines them as different. I think tallow melt point is about 104 or so. the addition of wax will raise the melting point a bit. I am in process of making soap with some of my Elk tallow lol. So far I have 36 bars of Lemon , Lavender and peppermint scented soaps with another 12 bars to be molded today. That will be enough bar soap for at least a year. I may make up a bit of conditioner just for shits and giggles. I still have several pounds to use up. I wonder now how hard it will be to render out some fish oils for experimental purposes lol.
