Tape measure holder "help please"
Frodo replied to Pledgedpatriot's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Pledgedpatriot Go to a sheetmetal shop and tell them you want a strip of 16 gauge sheet metal1'' wide by 48'' long then bend the sheet metal in to the shape you want. I would use my file as a mold. drill holes, cut off the strip, round edges -
Do not panic, Don't worry. I got your back. finish staining your project, then go get a sponge with that green scrubber thingy on it. cut a piece off, dip it in your stain, using the scrubby side, scrub the glue spot off, allow the stain in the sponge ono the work. you are inessence et sanding the leather. when yo see that the stain is now sticking, restain the piece to make it even first pic. i had stain on my fingers, this is where i wet sanded next pic. finished stain, the stain is gone

the surrounding material needs to be sewn for heavy canvas use a #22 needle and #138 thread for light canvas use a #20 needle and #69 or #92 thread if the canvas is a pvc or nylon canvas the hole needs to be singed before a rivet is inserted if it is a cotton /cloth canvas it needs to be sewn around the rivet to keep the material from shredding here is a rivet i removed from an italian holster you can see i singed the hole by heating a screwdriver and inserting it into the hole

My tale of wo I started smoking at the age of 14. I stopped smoking at the age of 50. This is how i managed to stop. It was Christmas eve, I was building a porch rail onto my house. I felt weak. my nail gun was heavy. so i decided to stop. I went to my Parents house and told my mom i was tired. needed to lay down. The rest of the story as told to me. I do not remember My sister said I got up and said i can not breath, then feel down. I was not breathing. an Ambulance was called. I was given oxygen At the ER. They cut my throat and inserted an airway. I died 2 times, Was jump started. 2 times I spent 2 months in a coma. then woke up I had the trach in my neck for 4 months. Till I threatened to rip it out. I have stage 4 severe COPD Memory lapse. and sometimes I can not find the correct word I know what the word is, but can not remember it Doc says it is due to lack of Oxygen. I LOVE metal work, running a forge I can not do that type of work anymore because of the fumes. This is why I got into leather work no fumes, I can work sitting down.

I have always wanted to see that part of the country. That Butch gets Around. I renovated the Telluride co. Original bank into a coffee shop what we found was kinda cool. they had a big ass bank vault in the bank and a small safe hid in the back. The REAL money was kept in the little safe and day to day proceeds kept in the big vault. Butch Cassidy was said to have robbed that bank and only got the the money from the big vault
