  1. If you want send me your proto type I'll work it up in corel and send it back in any format you need .
  2. First off never ever buy a glowforge OK Now and 80 watt Chinese laser like a Rabbit USA , a Boss Or Thunder will cut 7 to 8 oz veg tan leather no problem. Also it will do very nice engravings. I have a 60 watt co2 laser and it does all I ask of it, altho sometimes I have to make a second pass on 8oz veg. I cut and engrave all my knife sheaths and gun holsters and wallets on my laser.When hand stitching I leave about a foot of thread over the needle this give two strands of thread going thru the hole for the first foot and this cleans out most of the char. another thing I do sometimes is make the holes smaller then us a 1/16 dremel drill and then there is no char to dirty the thread. Also I oil and dye my leather then give it 2 coats of sheen before I cut out the Pat. This makes it very easy to clean of the soot with a damp rag. You can buy a 60 to 80 watt laser well under 10 K anything more then 80 watts and you loose engraving sharpness . Its hard to dial down the power for fine engraving , so 80 watts is max I'd get I like my 60 watts does it all pretty good.
  3. Your correct if I thin it 50/50 its much better
  4. it was an offer but I guess your all set
  5. should this be moved to How do I do That?
  6. yikes there plenty of Canadian companies that can make a stamp for you
  7. its so easy in corel and can be saved in many different formats
  8. I found Mop & Glow tends to crack when worked.
  9. So is it really to much to ask for someone to get back to you. You asked for help , I offered and even did a quick design to give you an idea. Then I heard nothing from you and I sent you a message to see if your still interested. You said yes and you would get back to me soon that was a month ago never heard from you again. Please don't bother us anymore.
  10. its sad when you have 3 hrs of labor 2 to 3$ of materials $4.50 in postage plus ebay fee's on an item that should sell for 35 to 40 $ but you sell it for 24 because of all the cheap crap others are selling and I end up making 12 bucks. Who in their right mind works for 3 bucks an hour?We do just because we love making this stuff.
  11. Beautiful work there Rocky
  12. OK I get that , but I can't see were it would really add a lot to the cost of a small stamp, and if you can't find local then you have to go out of Canada.Also tho I can't see how you can not find someone in Canada, there has to be stamp makers there if not, I'm sure theres engravers there that can make a stamp. Its not that hard look fora metal engraver with a Rotary engraver or a fiber laser.these are 3 of many I found doing a search.
  13. Nice lookin sheath. I see you have a blade protector instead of a cut out in the sheath.
  14. why does it have to made in Canada?
  15. Looks pretty good but the belt loop could be better. I do mine like MTlBiker but I sew it . I don't like rivets were the knife might come in contact and get scratched by the rivet.
  16. I think thats pretty good for your first inlay belt. The tips the guys have given you are good ones, your next one will be a lot better, not that this one isn't good
  17. Very Nice good job. I have to make one for my P-95 sometime.
  18. Yes sir you did a bang up job for sure . I hope I get that good someday. Beautiful bag Congrats
  19. wow thats very nice. Lotta work in that . Is it for you or a client?
