No problem, thank you.
-
It is easy to adjust, don't feel like messing with bobbin tension for one project.
-
You are right tried class 4 with top tensions loosened up. Probably will sew on flatbed to solve problem. Thank you

Thank you, took us a while to find them. Thank you, Uh Oh my wife is in trouble. Might get a big head, she tells me that anyway. Thank you

Thank you, you are right about the cant. It is just mocked up and didn't take enough time in putting it together. Thank you, didn't show the picture of the back. Had a brain fart and mis-stamped one on it.
-
Thank you, took us a while to choose them. Thank you, funny thing is the back flap is the one I struggled with most.
-
Unique design, don't know a whole lot about them. Except for the ones I have used.

Sweet, those must be long mags with the extensions, how many rounds per?

Started a bag for pens and paper to be able to write a letter or journal while away from home. Plus it just looked stinkin cool. It is fun when two come together. Saw a medic bag that is made for pens, it looked interesting. Went back to the original Swiss Army Medic Bags, the early from the 1940's and later from the 1980's. Liked features of both, so why not combine and augment some myself. The outside is 4-5 oz Herman Oak veg tan, while the inside lining is Wickett and Craig Russet harness veg tan. Thought of doing a carving on the front but the lid covered to much, a basket stamp was chosen. Still lots of burnishing and sewing to finish it. Most of the sewing will be done by hand. Will show the finished item with pens and stuff loaded.

The carvings are from images we found on google. The cover was fitted to the notebook. Thank you. Thank you.
-
Thank you Thank you, it was a challenge. Thank you, we wanted the art to be the focal point. Finished the notebook cover at 3:00 am this morning. Laid it beside her while she was sleeping. When the cat got her up, she squealed, and slept the rest of the night holding it like a teddy bear.

Started a notebook cover for my wife. She loves sunflowers and butterflies, along with clover and honey bees. Tomorrow hopefully will start on tooling the inside flaps.
-
Thank you That's a great idea, hadn't thought of that. Yeh the dye went through to the back. it was on the front dorsal fin area. Thank you get lucky sometimes. Finished the wallet, it grew on me as it was being finished. Not that this will be a regular, but may do a few now and then.

Had one of those days! Spent 4 hours tooling the wallet face and was finished. Reaching for the black dye, usually give it a little shake. This time the cap wasn't secure and black dye came out and a big blotch landed on the bass. Sat for a while frustrated thinking about what was going to happen. I am not a painter, I prefer natural with antique. Well out came the paints, might as well take what was going to be scrap and practice so at least some good can come of it. Like Gini said, it is better than with the black splotch. Not to her liking though.

It is a gift given, I believe in using it to help others too. Thank you, Taking a little breather to help a neighbor clear some land. Thank you
-
Thank you Well I would normally say "thank you SIR", afraid I might offend you!
-
It is a number if different stamps (figure carving) to do this. Traced the drawing on the leather. Thank you for the compliment, Jim Linnell's Elk Track Studios has a number of classes that have helped me.
-
Thank you, try to challenge myself to learn. Thank you, it is a drawing from Jim Linnell, had to adjust for this sheath. It is done, tried a new method on the securing strap. Last one it was mentioned about the possibility of the rivet scratching the handle. Wanted a wide belt loop so tried securing to the back and slots through the front, no rivet.

Working on a knife sheath for a benefit event that is close to my heart. The back was the easy part.
