  1. Im having a realy hard time finding a raven leather stamp. I found a viking version, but it's not what Im looking for. I have a set of large tandy stamps, so I was thinking of something in that size and frame, but would also like something along the lines of my vieaner stamps .thanks for any help.
  2. Hey all, Finaly finished my cell phone case. Kinda happy with it but see things I should have done differantly. I am looking for a raven leather stamp. Searching other sites, I can find everything but. The closest Ive found was a Viking raven, but not what I wanted. can anyone point me in the right direction?
  3. I already have some vinegar and steelwool working in a jar. Was going to use it on a woodworking project soon. didnt know I could use it on leather though, thanks for the info.
  4. Thanks to all, I think it was iron fillings. A week ago, I converted a log splitter into a metle press. Note to self, put away your water pan when not in use. Heading to Amazon now. Thanks
  5. Ok I tryed to send picture, but it is 4.1 in size. Mildue is what it looked like to me.( little black spots).Ill give conditions. It was in my shop, and there is no heat, over night temps were around 29 to 32 degrees. I did use scrap wood for mold and frame. I also soaked the leather before molding. and clamped it to my shop table made of wood. I tryed soft scoch bright to clean, but only smeared the spots together. If it can not be cleaned, I think Ill try black stain, or is there another path to take? Thanks again, OK, did some resizing and got it to size.
  6. First of all, Hi to all and thanks for allowing me in. I am extreamly new to leather working, made a couple knife sheaths and a I pad cover. On this project, Im trying to make a molded cell phone case. using7/8 oz veg tan, I cut my templet out, then cut a frame to match. I streached the leather around the templet, set the fram in place, clamped everything down, and walked away for 24 hours. When I came back to it, the leather was spotted with mildue. My question is, can I fix it, or do I have to just trash it and start over, and what did I do wrong? Thanks for any help.
