  1. Now the entire project is black, dark brown or in the case of my granddaughter, red.
  2. Cutting out a holster you've made 4-5 times before, get ready to stitch it up and.......crap!.....Kevin is LEFT handed!
  3. I use wheels for everything. Short or long, it is definitely faster than going around the project with irons/chisels.
  4. Just my humble opinion, but I believe most of this is due to spray/airbrush coloring. There is no penetration. Yes, you can get a nice even color....on the surface. There is nothing underneath. So when scratched or scuffed, raw leather is showing through.
  5. Most of us that use stitching wheels don't use punches/chisels. After marking we use an awl.
  6. I would ask where you are. Rocky Mountain Leather carries some very nice European leathers. If you are Stateside there is no reason to go to all the expense of ordering from overseas. Leather Tools & Supplies (rmleathersupply.com)
  7. Plus one on the blue tape, never had an issue with it not sticking. In fact, I had one brand (I don't recall the name) that was very difficult to remove.
  8. Nice work. Welcome to the group.

    Excellent! Very nice job.
  10. The one looks like either coral or a sponge. Or really old cauliflower.
  11. I make said bags. I will look through my patterns and get back to you. Here are a few I've made.
  12. Nickel should not tarnish. It can get a bit of patina, but not tarnish.
  13. The way things have been going at Yellowstone, some stupid would try to either pet them or get a 'selfie' with them.
  14. No, two different critters entirely.
  15. I went to both sites and had no problems.
  16. Very nice. Oak leaves are my favorite to carve. I had one of those little pistols for a while. But due to a deformity caused by an injury, the slide would slice the knuckle of my thumb every shot. I sold it to a young lady with much smaller hands.
  17. It looks to be chrome tan, and I doubt that oiling or anything else will do anything to darken it.

    I raise racing sled dogs. As a result of that, I also have the fastest cats in the world.
  19. I can't speak to knife sheaths, but chrome tan will take the bluing off of firearms, and latigo, which is combination tanned, will corrode brass and copper. So there is definitely something about chrome tan and metals.

    I understand the pain all too well. Nice job.
  21. So sorry to hear this. It is never easy to lose those we love.
