nice possible bag !!

i really like nice people too. Makes life so much fun no matter where you are!!! May god bless them all. next time your there go straight in and tell the boss, nothing says thanks as much as taking the same time for them.

i have this pattern its a pretty basic holster

where will you carry it and why? That will help pick you rig. is your state a concealed carry are there laws if you do or are you just toting it out fishing or to the range.

Caffeine isn't harmful in the amount your talking about.

i was going to dye a piece of leather with roon but this is better . My roon dried out lol all that is left is the iron oxide i took a pinch smashed it between my fingers and sprinkled it on a piece of leather then just a spray of water dyed the leather instantly. Its just the reaction between the iron and the tannic acid already in the leather.

ok i see, they are dying the leather as they tan it, previously tanned leather doesn't need a tannic acid bath.

veg tan leather already has tannic acid in it that's what tans it, you don't need a tea bath. I do use it for staining wood with vinegaroon but even then i wouldn't worry about it in the slightest.

that's nice looking leather you will have a great looking belt. Is it for reenactments?

I've always lived on the fringe, nothing quite like it.

that is fantastic work! I love the sound of sleigh bells.

When i do a tooling pattern, i usually do some practice on scrap first then if it looks good I'll make it into a key fob and send it along too. i guess a guy could do the same with their logo.

that will look awesome!!!!!!

nice indeed!!!

I'm gonna have to get me that book some day. Nope not me, it would be about 5/6 oz doubled i don't see why it wouldn't hold cartridge's. and a few silver dollars or even a pistol and knife. Maybe they were made thin so they were comfortable while riding a horse. Plus I don't think using them for a 100 years crossed their minds at all. I will add that is just one example of a cartridge money belt out of thousands made by different folks, they made things the way they wanted to just like us so leather choice was just that , personal choice, so make yours with whatever leather you want it wont be wrong. however folding thick leather like they were made will be a chore. As i understand it they were one piece folded at the bottom and sewn at the top.

wowzers that is really clean and nice looking tooling there.

there is a video here somewhere of a guy using one to make shoes.. i didn't know what they were either until then, but i did have one someone gave me its not a speedy stitcher but sucks just as bad IMO. i couldnt get mine sharp enough to use, guy in the video used it like an awl but i couldn't get mine sharp enough to push through leather. it makes the same stitch a sewing machine makes.

how did that get by me ? Nice work there indeed Pastor what weight leather did you use?

Thanks Pastor!

you might be surprised.

i knew i was celebrating for someone just didn't know who hope you had a great birthday friend!!

that is beautiful!!!

thanks it was a great re learn on binding, I've only done one other journal years ago but i still had my how to book.

Thanks Words and letters are my kryptonite lol. I never could have cut them with a swivel knife.

Thanks Tugadude
