    As Stevie Wonder would say, 'I'm not seeing it.'

    It is most likely a latigo. A combination tannage.

    It is best to give info like your phone number in private message. There may be people out there that you don't want to have it.

    Do you have pictures? And where is it located?

    tsunkasapa replied to craig h's topic in Leather Tools

    As another senior on a fixed income, let me say this; Just spend the money to get a good one. Ron's Tools is where I got mine. Yes, they are spendy, but the aggravation of trying to work with cheap crappy tools is just not worth it.

    Looks like a good, serviceable sheath. Great job.

    I put them on my 'Ignore' list the 2nd day they were here.

    What is a 'Boss button'?

    It's a 12 1/2 year old thread.

    We feed ravens and bald eagles. We get meat scraps and fat from a butcher for our sled dogs. Anything that gets rejected for the dogs goes down on the lower end of our property and the birds are circling before we can get it unloaded.

    The lever opens the jaws. It is made such that the jaws are in a closed position until levered open. Pull down on the handle and the cam will force the jaws apart.

    I assume you are catching the first thread with the second needle. Two ways to deal with that. 1; Pull the first thread tight and against the side of the hole before inserting the second needle. 2; Insert BOTH needles and pull first one then the other. #2 is the way the oldtimers at my local saddle shop taught me.

    And I agree, just buy blue leather. "Liege Main" Chevre Chagrin - Great for Bookbinders (rmleathersupply.com)

    Any time I stitch, I never use more thread than I can span, arms spread out. I generally overstitch 3-4 stitches. Trying to use more thread than that is a huge PITA, and slows things down.

    I have several old cast iron flatirons that I glued scrap leather to.

    Al Stohlman sanded it. That was for 'rough out' work, but no reason it can't be done for other uses.

    I think she will love it.

    Very nice indeed! And kudos to her for wanting to learn these things. Much of this knowledge will be lost if we have no one wanting to learn it.

    Had you said they were sheepskins to begin with I would have told you there is a 98% probability that they were tanned. 'Fur rugs' generally refers to bear skins, cougars, etc.

    Welcome from the DRY side of the state. Nice work.

    My wife sews harnesses for sled dogs, and each order that goes out has a 'thank you' card in it.

    Looks just like all the other fringe I've seen out there.
  24. tsunkasapa
    If you can't post a picture I don't need to see it.

    If it is ball point ink it will be alcohol soluble.
