  1. I tan my own skins, if the tanning process is done correctly then they should not mold up in a zip lock baggie, that is how i store mine I roll my skins, I do not fold them.
  2. Thank you !!!!1 below is a pouch in the pocket, I used deer skin gussets so the user could carry coins or a small 380 or makeup, keys, whatever them she people carry !!!
  3. I hear led zeppelin in the back ground playing Dazed And Confused Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused (Official Audio) - YouTube Large companies use large clicker cutters and do not stack the leather in high bundles, because of quality assurance If you are an up and coming company then you need to pick 5 or 6 patterns that you do GOOD and not try to make everything in the world, THAT comes after you are established. Right now it will be about building a solid clientele list and a good name Get a large clicker press and fined a company that is willing to grow with you and provide you with dies. you need to use 1 guy exclusively

    I thought about applying beeswax on the outside ,to plug holes. pour epoxy into cup. then turn to evenly apply. then turn it upside down and let the excess run out. it should. in my crazy mind, leave a thin coating on the inside in 24 hours, apply another coat using the same method.

    Because I made 2, one for coffee and one for tea i think the best solution is to use a food grade epoxy, and be done with the worries about the heat/cold Thanks for the offer maxdaddy. I got a guy a couple miles down the road with bee hives.

  8. I open carry a 45, the chain gets all tangled and you look like barney fife trying to draw your weapon
  9. have you ever wrecked a bike? I have, because of that experience I orient the pockets on my wallets to be on the inside not the outside If my wallet falls out of my pocket a 40 mph. I do not want its contents all over the road with some truck driving over everything. This is a simple 3 piece wallet. it is 8''x8'' and 3''x8'' The 2 pockets is really all need, i one for cash, yep it is empty LOL one for cards
  10. Have you checked the machine for correct needle length? My machine acts like yours when the needle is to short
  11. Cheap tools will make your work look like ,LOL Ok. right here I could really get into trouble but I am going to hold my tounge Cheap tools will make your work look cheap. here is an example of what I speak. my compas cost around 8 usd at wally world I used it all the way around both of these pieces of leather Do you see how I am flush on one side and standing proud on the other? I did not want to spend $20 or $30 on a compas, BUT. it looks like i have no choice
  12. my advice, find a machine shop in your area, take it to them and tell them you want the hole welded filled in, then a new hole drilled they usually charge by the hour, i do not see more than a hors work, $45.00 is a fair price for what i see and, YES, cast iron can be welded if you have the right tools and a trained welder
  13. Thank you for the complement . The guy did not want cartridges loops. he wanted the conchos in place of them
  14. 2 layers of 9oz veg tan
  15. You must use a resist, Here I painted the leaves and stems with resist, waited till the next day and antiqued it
  16. I think you need to watch this. i find it interesting,

    Cracked clay stone

    I am liking that very much. It speaks to my eyes. [that sounds silly. but was my first impression] just a weird thought. If you have a bunch of these, and were to cover them in a clear epoxy, you could tile a back stop or table top
  18. well post the chart. learn all of us something
  19. Mr James. what size thread are you going to use? I use chisels instead of punches, here are the chisel sizes, you need to match up to your thread size
