  1. It must be the 'personalized wooden stick' that costs so much...
  2. I live in South Houston and would be interested in something, as well. I know there is a show in Waco this Fall but would really like to go to a one or two day event just for the tutorials/workshops. Sure, it would be nice to have some vendors at the show. However, I would want to go without the vendors just to learn how to elevate my skills and meet leather crafters that are local-ish with the same passion.
  3. Coming from a university with Orange as it's main color, man, that just screams luxury!!
  4. Thought I'd join in by saying there is some sort of market here..... Who knew?
  5. LOL, I think many of us have belts that no longer are able to do their job are hanging in the closet!
  6. Heart of Texas Leather Show is in Waco in August 6 - 8 with lots of workshops the week before: https://leathercraftersjournal.com/heart-of-texas/
  7. You can try exporting the file to a different application. I'm going to check out nanocad which is a free program which may could solve your problem.

    Alcohol Lamp

    Hi, What are the differences/advantages if I use alcohol burner v gas burner on the stove?
  9. Wow, easier than I thought! thanks @chuck123wapati
  10. Excellent idea, excellent points. Thank you!
  11. yea, nice site, great photos. Hope you get a ton of business!
  12. Hey @chuck123wapati now that is some really good work and a fun project. I, too, need to start investigating an airbrush system. But I have the same problem with the clean up. Momma definitely won't be happy about me using a bathroom sink for cleanups.
  13. Very impressive for a first time. And when you start to use your BK tools, you'll understand why they're top notch.
  14. @BWL whats the last picture of?
  15. There is a facebook site somewhere that Jim Linnell started (I think) that is for leather trading cards. I believe this is it. Not a fb fan and I'm at work (shhhhhhh...) so I didn't want to run down rabbit holes to check it out but here you go. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1177302999307221/
  16. yea, really nice color combo match up. And very nice work.
  17. wow, those should make anyone proud to carry. Just beautiful!
  18. Ha! Leaving the room to change your mind. That's funny and how true! But boy what a beautiful set up. My "shop" is a kitchen table I kind of took over and completely outgrown. I have a 12x12 shed in the back for lawn stuff I've thought converting but that's as far as I've gotten.
  19. Ha! never would've thought to have done this. What a fun idea. My dog likes to snap at/eat our sky raisins.
  20. I am by far NOT any kind of expert on design or art or anything much for that matter! But I think a background isn't necessary from what I'm able to see from your photo. Maybe a spiffy border and call it good. Others here may have something else to add.
  21. I read in a magazine how to take a flat board with a hole drilled through. Use that as a way to hold your lather down while you push up through the hole using a modeling tool with the leather slightly damp from underneath. I tried it out and got some impressive results.
  22. You did all that without a template? I'd be proud, too! Nothing wrong with stretching yourself to get more experience. It's the best teacher!
  23. I generally start over but hang on to the original piece for me to review where I can do better. But that's just me.
  24. I created a list of items that were on their web pages but were unable to download because broken links. Maybe others have been able to get these, or already has them? If so, I am interested in a few select items but all in all, well worth the time.
