for as much as I can get here is a new one I am working on. this picture is the working bracelet, so it is not sewed or burnished, it is a tool at the moment I am using metal pallet strapping inside 2 layers of leather 9oz/5oz

here is the bleed knot, the 2 in the middle I like them for handles, very comfy.

I have no idea what the real name of these things are. i just call them pony tail holders from the 70's. piece of leather with a pencil or stick. or a corn dog stick threaded through it more bracelets and credit card holders. this little stuff sells, so does womans wallets and holsters

I have a booth at a gun show. Funny story. i have been going to the same gun show for a few years. same venders i noticed an old single shot 20 gauge shot gun on a rack. Boy wants $200.00 i offered him a $100. no sale next year, same gun, same gun rack. same offer. NO next year, Same next year, i said are you tired of dragging that ole shotgun around year end year out? He grinned and said Heck no. It draws in guys that offer $100.00 then buy something else for $300. LOL..

lol.....there is something so confining about that word.

Rounded up the usual riff raff. Here are my best sellers,

Nice looking camp spot. i live about 1/4 mile from one of the biggest camping spots in the state So camping to me is basically sitting on the front porch

That man chuck, i aint lie not one bit. He makes a good awl fits my paw perfect. he even has the angle of the blade oriented to the angle of the handle so every time you pick it up it just naturally falls into the correct line up.

I am a machine so...... LOl

Try them. Springfield Leather Company To be honest, If you order $10.00 worth of stuff the shipping is going to eat you alive If you order a $100. it is better

Usa a vacuum pack machine.

thank you.

How do i accomplish this 90 degree angle stitch?

I did not find the old thread, But I remember an old thread about different ways to punch holes in knife sheaths or any thick leather Here is 4 layers of 9oz veg tan. each side is 8mm thick So the total thickness is 16mm On my pattern. where the corner is that the stitching starts on both pieces when folded over. I fold the pattern over and punch a hole transfer the marks to the leather. Then set my windividers and scribe a stitch line. I use the transferred mark as the center of the starting point of my chisel. I punch the scribed line. then come back and re-punch it a little deaper. The chisel does not go all the way through but you can see a pin hole on the back side. I use an awl to finish the hole. on this holster, i sewed it with out any problems,

I thought about snaps, then i envisioned a 45 hitting the floor as you walk out the store And changed my mind

And that darn zipper with the cover is a LOT of freaking hand sewing 4- passes at 8''' long each

I went to the store, a restaurant and pumped gas. the reactions were hilarious

8'''' zipper the flap you see is just like the flap that covers the zipper on your jeans

Here is a purse i am working on. I still have some sewing to finish , and edges to burnish

I use HAx1 size 20 I have size 21 on order for parts /needles/thread seek out bantam saddle tack he has bobbins.

Mine is doing great. It took a month of fiddling and tearing y hair out till I figured how to time it. then the tension is the next hurdle after that. you are golden

OH HELL I just saw the date of the last post January.
