very cool !! I need those tweezers!!! I get stuck every day doing something.

very cool pattern, they do that by drilling the layered barstock when its thick then as they forge it down thinner and flatten it the birds eye effect comes out. I'm working up my nerve to try and make some Damascus this year. Takes a lot of strong arm hammering if you don't have a machine.

very cool blade love that Damascus , never sharpen until your done working on it. You can guess how I know lol.

hi! and welcome.

i was strong armed once by a skunk. One night when we were hunting, we were all in my lodge ( native American teepee) drinkin beer having a great time cooking pork chops. I had my cooler setting near the door with the package of chops setting out on top. Well this big old skunk smells them i guess and decides he wants a pork chop too and comes waddling right in and grabs one sets down on his butt and starts to munching away right in the middle of the doorway. Guess what four big bad elk hunters do when that happens? They stand wide eyed and wondering what the hell to do next lol. Cant get out, cant yell, cant hit it or your whole tent and you and all your gear will be stinky forever. We just stood there watching him eat pretty soon when he got good and ready I swear he smiled flipped us off and then moseyed on off with the rest of his chop. A person doesn't really know what the most respected animal in the woods are until your face to face with a skunk man they have the power IMO. They are really rude critters and don't care if you like them or want them to leave and there isn't shit you can do about it lol. The next night he came in again while i was sleeping. Third night we went skunk hunting lol. That's the tale of two skunks camp.

very cool design I like it too.

don't flatten the foot polish it, like the expensive machines, so the teeth aren't ragged, that is what trashes the leather. Also check the distance between the bobbin hook and your needle shunt, when the knot pulls into the hole it tightens the thread to much and the bobbin hook then pierces the thread and breaks it.

probably lined it with a thin natural piece.

wow man that is really nice work. It go well with some of my Chokecherry wine lol.

lol I ve never seen a hot pink skunk but if i did i would give up drinking!!! https://www.glacierwear.com/animal-fur-pelts-hides-skins/skunk-pelts.html

reasonable expectations of a leather product is pretty vague as the wear or abuse they get can vary greatly. A book cover or a pair of work boots? I don't "guarantee" replacement of any of my stuff but i will make it right if its a defect i missed or i will repair it if its damaged from use. I usually don't charge for repairs because i just don't get them I guess and there is no real reason to replace leather items when they usually only need re stitched. If the leather is ruined from misuse or failure of the owner to take care of it , its on them.

They smell much worse than burnt rubber my friend. Its an old family favorite lol there are plenty of skunks around here.

I always started singing this, while rolling the window down. lol

I figured i'd quit tramping on Frodos thread lol. Caught two nice rainbows yesterday. Floured and fried them in Butter, onion, and clove or two of garlic, love that cast iron!!! Had home made cheese biscuits and Jalapeno poppers with them. Had a great day , found a fossil leaf. Going fishing again today!!!

i was out at the lake yesterday, Seminoe dam, and heard a total of two motorcycles and one car in over four hours. There are so many better places to go in Wyoming than Yellowstone. For free. Found this fossil just roaming along.

I'm going fishing tomorrow and I'm toting along my fishing bow. I was thinking the same thing about tanning some Carp skins. One of the guys on here had an arm guard made from Carp skin , looked pretty cool. Btw Carp is pretty good stuff if you get the good cold water ones and get the mud line out. We Cut it into fingers and deep fry it. A little cole slaw and some beer MMMMMMMMM,

i've never done bible covers with zippers but Al Stohlman has in making leather cases book #2 if you have it.

it will be mid July at the earliest before i can get to the the Brookie fishing, over 200% percent snow pack this year.

love me some bass, those are going to be tasty i can tell from here!!! I'm going Monday morning ice is finally gone around the edges I'm told, No Bass this high up but its time for the Browns to spawn.

man now I'm hungry!!

Nuggets? man its so good that if you rubbed a piece on your forehead your tongue would beat your brains out trying to lick it off.

That is a good video Pastor. thank you!!

looks like you got a plan!!!! That aluminum is pretty easy to work down with a file also so you can shape it to suit yourself.

It is very worth posting you did great on that butterfly maybe some light tooling to create some shape to the body. Hardest thing there is on a dad is seeing his little girl in trouble, hang in there man, your her rock.
