    Frankly, I wouldn't waste my money. In 40+ years I've never used one or felt the need for one. YMMV

    I didn't see a single thing from ANY sales that excited me enough to spend any money. Not one.

    And your leather was far too wet if the clamps left those marks.

    He doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    They will work, the single caps are just flat on the back. I don't use rivets very often. If a project is properly stitched I don't think they add anything.
  6. tsunkasapa
    Double caps are for applications where both sides will be seen, that's all.

    3 guesses where we'll find the OTHER boot.

    That's not anything I've ever given any thought to. I would say that you are the only one that sees it. Sometimes with LACING I will work from the middle both ways, but that is much more noticeable.

    With soft and hard Arkansas stones and a good strop you should be able to get it where it will cut just fine. I strop my swivel knife blades on paperboard rather than on leather. It doesn't wear on the corners of the blade that way.
  10. tsunkasapa
    No, it shouldn't take much effort to cut. MOST blades are universal, there are some old ones I have that take a special blade. And you should GENERALLY be 1/3-1/2 the thickness of your leather. If one design element crosses another (think one vine crossing over another. Or Celtic knotwork) then you wouldn't want to cut so deep.

    Doesn't look all that 'rusty' to me. Nice job.

    Welcome, from the DRY side of the state.
  13. tsunkasapa
    Nice job! Looks very straight.

    I'm a big fan of a plastic bag, kept in Tupperware.

    Wet it well and mold it over something the size/shape you want the bump to look like.

    I have used vinyl flooring in the past too.

    You can try oxalic acid. 2 teaspoons to a pint of water.

    I have a stack of cracker/cereal boxes I use for all my patterns. If the project is too big for those I go into the college book store and buy sheets of heavy poster board.

    Thanks guys, it was a labor of love for my girl. Doing what we do, I sometimes spend more time with her than I do with my wife. She is as close to a daughter as I have.

    Beautiful!!!! Love me some GOOD basketweave, and you NAILED it! Very nice indeed!
  21. tsunkasapa
    Very nice! I always loved that white spot on those.

    Fine looking holster!

    It is a 'mystery' side I got at a show a few years ago. I'm guessing it's shrunk, I know it's chrome tan. Lined it with 2oz veg goat and the re-enforcement/belt loop is 6oz veg. I may line the loop with goat on the next one for extra strength, but the Security 9 is pretty light and she won't be carrying it all that often.

    My 'Work Daughter' (she's too young to be my work wife) and I have the same pistol, so it was easy to create this without her knowing about it. When she opened the box she loved it. And I'm pretty happy with it as well.
