To add, I found the barrel size to be a consideration. I have a 1/4"? size from BK that I don't enjoy using as much as my original Tandy 3/8"?. I also have an old school Tandy 1/2" (or maybe it's 3/4"?) barrel and although I like the heft, the barrel size is too big for me. And I found a set of swivel knife blades from a garage sale that included two ceramic blades. Those are amazing and have been enjoying using those the most.

Really like the lace work on those cuffs.

Thank you for the close up picture. It really helped me alot to see the details. Great work.

I made a heart shaped version for my daughter, too. I stamped a paw print on the one side in honor of a good friend crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years back. Turned out pretty nicely, though I don't have a picture of it. And yes, a great way to run through the scrap bin.

I thought the Craft Tools that start with 'Z' were part of the starter kits. No? Was thinking if that was so you may have to start hitting garage/estate sales. just a thought.

Total boss, dude. The conchos make it punch out. Noticed you hail from Louisiana. I lived in Lake Chuck/Sulphur for fifteen years before moving to Houston. I miss the food, the culture and the people.

Thank you, @YinTx

Kind of thinking the same...

Hi there. Thank you for your service. I admire your willingness to continue to expand the craft with your tenacity.

Hi @Ckim. I see you're a new member. Welcome to the board. But as an FYI, that posting was from 2017. Wouldn't hold your breath.

Hi there and welcome! Check out this topic on the forum: https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/67-purses-wallets-belts-and-miscellaneous-pocket-items/ Should be able to post your questions there. Best of luck!

THIS!!

I like that. Mind if i borrow it? i was trying to understand your description. Can you provide a picture?

I always thought edge kote was a kind of sealer. It's not?

The videos are kind of funny; it documents how they find really weird places to record where they find a camping space, sometimes in a parking lot, sometimes in the woods between highways,. Just really crazy. cheers!

Wonder if it can be compared to stealth camping

Very impressive

Good morning. Thanks for sharing. What a neat journal. I subscribed.

Those look like an awesome, inexpensive and easy money maker or nice gifts.

@dans79 for a noob, that's some good stitchin'! I ordered a set of chisels a couple of weeks back but haven't a chance to use them, yet. But will soon and I will report back. But if the punches that @Spyros mentioned are still close (with inflation and all) I am sorely tempted to get some of those punches for myself, soon.

Yep, everything is negotiable when cash is in hand!

For tooling I was told about $3.50 - $4.50/sq inch depending......but this is in Houston area. This is on top of whatever you would price your product after assembly, etc.

I like @toxo idea. Nothing to lose.

Thanks @Northmount for clearing up the pictures a bit I don't know if I have anything really to add but if you don't have a replacement size leather ready to go and if you tried cleaning/cleaners than maybe just go with the dye. Whenever I try to explain to my wife about a project and just dive in/go for it, my wife calls it 'art roulette'. Man, that was alot of work and I think its safe to say we've all had projects that ended up having an 'oh crap'. Just gotta press on. Let us know how it turns out.
