One thing I did learn, That to me, Is a valuable tidbit. It will make the fibers lay down, and you can get a shine

10 bucks? LOL not worth buying a tap and bit they would cost 20

NICE work I have been making whips using gutted para cord for over a year I think it is time to switch to leather any pointers would be appreciated

can you drill a hole same size as screw then retap one size larger, use a different screw?

conducted an experiment using natural stain polyurethane water based , and a licorice color acrylic I use a hair dryer to speed drying times here are my steps and findings It looks good,and is scratch resistant,very shiny

drill the broken screw nout you need to break out the dremal tool with an abrasive cut off wheel,,,run the dremal and wear the abrasive wheel down on a piece of metal,to the size you feel is small enough for the task very carefully, cut groove in the busted screw, then use small screw driver in the groove to back the screw out

i get hardware form https://www.strapworks.com/default.asp?sscid=a1k3_chaqi and my leather from slc leather .com buckles from e bay or amazon. hey arashikage the meaning of life is procreate and family philosophy of life is a smile on a dog dealing with stress. is a simple matter of mind over matter, if you don't mind,it don't matter

DEEP BELLY LAUGH WELL, I guess when you do not get an answer, THAT is an answer all in itself looks like I have left the reservation and am alone on this journey, Got any ideas Biscuit?

8mm 6.5x55 38 special 357 maybe a 30/06 lol do not remember

The Government of Commiefornia has no right to ban the sale of any damn thing. It is up to an individual to make the decision on what to buy, not the government edited +what about the Indian tribes? not allowed to make deer skin moccasins? does this mean if you kill an elk for food. you have to let the hide rot away wastefully?

I found the picture THIS is UGLY I needed a copper funnel, with a 2'' outlet, So I made one from 1/2'' copper pipe And I am PROUD OF THE UGLIEST FUNNEL EVER MAD

I NEVER laugh at another's art work, especially when I am making ugly old cars with 357 motors in them post that hammer so we can all see its beauty!!!!!!!

I am working on purse for SIL I am adding a strap that will sew to the back.inside. Loop up then down, sewn to the front of the purse how can i secure the loop to the side panel ? The loop is to give the top support and to be decorative on the front, attached to a D ring on the back

a TRUE handmade leather item , would by definition be made using a flint knife and a deer bone as a needle

Went into the local monument store in the near by town. The lady was busy, but took the time to ask if she could be of help. I stated I saw a small piece of granite by the dumpster. and asked if I could have it She said yes. Small is such a subjective word. what is small to me may or may not be small to you.

I commend you on the idea, Kudos BUT, SKIPPY? really? SKIPPY? Choosy mothers choose JIFF..LOL LOL I am a choosymother -------

i thought that was my idea !!!!!!!!!!! great minds think alike mason jar user

Where at in CO ? I used to live in Ridgeway LOVED IT !!!!

I do not hit with it. it is more like 1 tap try this hit a stamp with your poly mallet then hit the stamp with a regular hammer do you feel a difference?

I bought a nice teflon/plastic hammer to strike my tools with. I do not care for the bounce so I grabbed a blade pin off of the D8 dozer. LOL wrapped it in leather. it weighs a pound or more. it is my weight to hold items still it is an anvil it does not bounce

hand made is something mad by hand, granted that sweat shops use sewing machines to turn out stuff but the difference is, They are turning out production and not one of a kind items So, In MY opinion,which if you add a dollar you can buy a cup of coffee,,hand made means an item that is not turned out in production form but made one at a time by a craftsman, not an hourly production employee

i ended up staining the item first then dabbing paint on the letters.wiping off the excess easy easy

please ignore this if you already are aware, I was playing around with some min-wax stain.And discovered that min-wax natural #209 will darken the lettering just like antiquing will. also, i put some on a piece that had already had mahogany antique applied, it seams to make it very shiny
