Mother’s Day is around the corner so I challenge all of you leather workers to make a rose for your Mom. Or who you call Mom, if you do not have a Mom then make a rose for a special person in your life No rules, make it anyway that you want, It does not have to be a traditional rose it is what ever your interpretation of a rose is This is for fun, I gave you an idea, run with it and post your results here lets see some beautiful art work!!!!!!!!!

Back on track in all honesty, I have only used a weight to hold my pattern a few times I hold it down with my hand or hand and arm i have used regular cheapest you can buy masking tape, I do this for 2 reasons it works and it keeps my leather from stretching out and being “off” makes it easier to see a line to cut . I do not work on the finished side, I mark and cut on the back side

Got an order in from strap works here is what I am talking about looks like this is a 3/4” strap adjuster

In the message box, at the bottom is a button for smiley faces when ever I try and use one of the emojis I get a red line that says value added is not allowed or something to that effect why are there smiley faces if they are not allowed? My mind is boggled

Pet Rocks!!!!!!! do they have names? ABSA. Nice looking art work!! Denver area??? Do you know how to river surf? ya wanna know?

Buy a roll of 1.5” wide cheap masking tape Apply tape to the backside of your leather it will stop the dreaded stretch Lol. Never mind this thread is 3 years old

The logo is not finished, I need some paint conceal Cary bag. It has a strap inside for a holster

I am going to give up a little secret if you want to use lead and you are going to buy it find a plumbing supply store near you. Not a hardware store diddy bop into the store and ask for lead wool, now you can shape it any way you wish without using heat if they do not have in-stock tell them to order it from the warehouse

I use the plastic ones for now tandy and the stecksstore have them for around $2.20

Find some old car speakers and salvage the magnet, I use vinyl as my pattern material and magnets. Works great or buy a jar of BBs pour into a sock then cover with leather

Love the white thread contrast excellant job!

Ihttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082867028055&mibextid=ZbWKwL here is the business page for this product I think it I better than Tokonole, I burnished a piece of veg tan with my finger and smooth the back side of the veg tan

In my opinion, it seems to be worth the $7.50. I spent to have it arrive at my door

The mysterious goo came in the mail today I tested it on my arm, Nice , smooth then grabbed a veg tan knife sheath, rubbed some goo on half of it then buffed it did the same with some chrome tan

The holster is 12” long x 6 1/2” wide measured top to tip of the triangle and 6 1/2” at the top I cut the triangle, used the top part of a 45 long colt pattern and sewed that to the triangle

Pictured us a Scholenger 45 Sa with an 8” barrel yes it is for a big guy, all my stuff is made for big guys (I’m a big guy) and straps have to be cut down for them wee fellers

I did, edged in black and oiled excellent suggestion

Weight instead of a fastener add the Pennie’s and the flap won’t flop or flip open

Thank you sir 1/4” washer at ho depo costs 7 cents a penny is a penny. Drill a hole lol.

Then you might really like this what did I just do?

I call it, negativity reminds me of a photo negative black resolene use cotton strip, apply with cotton almost dry, apply in a circular motion lol wax on, wax off Later, gotta finish this

Be careful, That pattern gets addicting

Working on a shoulder holster cross draw holster for a long colt 45, this is intended to hang low. Muzzle just above belt height canted on about a 45degree with the grip being center of the body below the sternum

Choosing the correct tool for the right spot is my struggle with carving. I am trying to learn on my own and my teacher is an idiot This is an embarrassment
