    I had a sled dog like that. LOVED to roll in nasty, stinky stuff. And screamed like she was being skinned when I washed her. A neighbor actually came up the block to make sure she wasn't dying.

    It has been back up for months.

    Nice job! Lots of different skills come together in one project.

    The 'hardware store' awl IS a scratch awl, but is probably much bigger than you need for leather work. You can still use it, but a smaller version might be less cumbersome. I think my biggest one is 3 1/2 or 4 inches long.

    I'm thinking I'll stay with the real thing. I feel no need to "appease this growing population". Here in cattle country, they mostly stay up on campus. In a county that has more cattle than humans, their voices just don't get listened to.

    I only use linen or hemp, doesn't do any good to burn it.

    Scratch awl, sometimes a pencil. NEVER ink.

    Soap will not get dye out of thread.

    That would be a lady in Australia that hasn't been on here for 2 1/2 years.

    Since I only hand sew, I can only tell what I read here concerning machines and waxed thread. And that is, that only a specific type of machine can do that. And your 'Chinese patcher' is not it. One of our machine experts can tell you what type you need for that.

    Yes, I dilute to achieve the tone/shade that I want. I have no idea what the actual 'reducer' is, but I have used both denatured and isopropyl alcohol and have had no issues. I buy 99% isopropyl by the gallon. Last I saw, it was going about $32/gal at my local farm store.

    I'm old school, and as such, I don't use ANY of the new water based ANYTHING. That being said, I have never had any of my parts 'shrink' from dying with spirit dyes. I understand that there are issues ordering these, but I think I'd put up with that rather than use a product that is giving unsatisfactory results. I'll save the water for making coffee and beer.

    That is my understanding as well.

    Saw this in the news this morning. Some feel good news for a change. Nokona employee celebrates 60-year loyalty to leather (yahoo.com)

    Looking good. The 'remodel' doesn't LOOK 'remodeled', the mark of a good remodeler!

    Great job! Not all of our first projects turn out so nice.
  22. tsunkasapa
    Very nice. I think your customer will be happy with it.

    Tried to delete redundant photo, no luck.

    Here are a few shots from our musher taking my wife for a ride. She made all the harnesses for the dogs...27 of them.
