I agree with Klara.Clean up your own work space and take pictures of it. we know you won't you'll go ahead and use stock picture to make people think you have a class act shop so they buy from you.
Instead of Pliers I use those rubber finger tips on thumb and index finger.makes gripping and pulling a lot easier.

Thanks
I took a picture of it off the net then traced it in corel to get a vector out line. Then I filled in what I wanted to stand out and engraved out everything else, so the colored part of the Reaper is raised .Its 7 to 8 oz Veg tan so should last a while LOL .
Personally I would put a glass or acrylic piece to cover and protect the Leather. If veg tan seal it with a leather sealer like Sheen, Resolene , or mop and glow. Not sure about oil maybe nothing. just cover it with clear glass or acrylic .
I posted these in another thread they should be here , so I'll put them here LOL
OK heres the 3 I made. The baseball style was my first and has been hanging a while now covered in dust LOL
Yea you had to post that didn't ya, Now I'm looking at my stool with the seat cover all ripped and all. Looks like a new leather cover is on the horizon. Thanks a lot
Well I live near Phoenix and I've made 3 leather hats and wear them now and then. They keep the sun off my bald head. Yes their kinda hot but not that bad.
If you don't mine a little comment. I think your stitches could be closer to the edge and beveling the edges would give it a better look , JMHO...over all pretty nice tho.
There in lies the problem. I didn't want to buy any water based glue until I know it would satisfactory replace what I'm using now. Don't want to buy something then throw it out.
If using a water based contact cement in wet molding, will the glue degrade ? I glue my sheaths together then sew then wet mold. I don't want the glue coming apart in the wet molding process.
