    A waste of money.

    Never had that issue.

    I have a couple of projects to clear off my bench, but I think I'll make myself a new sporran this winter.
  6. tsunkasapa
    I just use water. Rub the edge with a damp sponge or rag and rub away. If you want, rub a bit of beeswax and reburnish.
  7. tsunkasapa
    And it sounds like you are leaving too antique on the project.

    Th gusset is very light chrome tan, soft and flexible.

    Here are more views of the sporran.

    After dinner I will post more pics. It is an inexpensive one that a friend bought to replace the one I lost in the fire.

    I concur, double loop.

    Here is a shot of my sporran. Not high end but it looks just like yours.

    In one of his books on coloring leather, Al Stohlman said to never use dye straight. Better to do several coats diluted. While I DO use them straight on occasion, usually I dilute 1part dye to whatever of 99% alcohol. 2 parts is normal, but I have diluted as much as 7-1. The color you want is there, you just have to find it.

    I did the same on this bag.

    Watch Roll

    tsunkasapa replied to Klara's topic in Show Off!!

    I carried a pocket watch for 45 years, finally gave it up when I started carrying a cell phone. Haven't carried a watch since. I hate anything around my wrists, won't even wear the wristband at the hospital. Third time I cut it off they figured out they were wasting their time.

    Two different hides will take dye differently, just like two different pieces of wood will take stain differently.
  22. tsunkasapa
    The POINT is you don't need a round beveler to get a round edge.
  23. tsunkasapa
    No, if you moisten the edge and use a round profile burnisher, you will get a round edge.
  24. tsunkasapa
    And then I burnish the waxed thread with a piece of brown paper bag.
