  1. +1 on the round knife. Yes, I did have to learn how to use it. For straight cuts, I'm trying to use up a knife that @chuck123wapati made for me. By the way, I love it! Thanks again, Chuck. Story here:
  2. Thank you for the tip! Nice bag. Jim
  3. I gather that leatherinspire is trying to sell marketing training or some such thing. JM2C, Jim
  4. @ArkieNewbie, Did you have trouble turning the body of the bag after sewing it? I don't usually make turn bags and have never made one of Veg Tan. I have a friend that made a "possible bag" from Veg Tan and has had fits trying to turn it. Just checking to see if you have some advice. Thanks, Jim
  5. Price?
  6. I kinda thought the same thing.
  7. I do love the old Singer patchers. Good luck!
  8. Where is that "like" button?

    Hat peg

    Sundial?
  10. These are definitely concerns. For me, I also have a "mind set" problem. It seems to change from "I get to do leather work" to "I have to do leather work". Another might be deadlines. As far as machines go, I'm no expert but I'm not sure you would gain much machine stitching knife sheaths over hand stitching. I do have a couple machines and enjoy using them though. As always, JM2C. Jim
  11. Very nice!
  12. I'm not sure this will help you much "down under" but here is a link to a place to buy one in the U.S. Jim https://makersleathersupply.com/collections/makers-tools-and-knives/products/punch-o-matic-stitch-punch
  13. Very nice holster indeed!
  14. Those are beautiful Bruce! Thanks for sharing.
  15. Here is wishin' you the best my friend. I'd sing at your funeral but that would clear the house mighty quick.
  16. Nice knife and sheath, Dave!
  17. Thanks Klara. I had no idea.
  18. Nice work. For the less informed of us(maybe just me), what makes that an "aviator style"? Jim
  19. I used Making Leather Cases #2 to make one for my granddaughter. I nearly lost my mind(I never had a very tight grip on it anyway.). I truly wish you the best. I needed a slightly longer gusset than the book said but her Bible was 2.5" thick. I ended up making the whole thing twice. However, I am certain that you will do better than me! Here is a picture she sent me of it fully loaded.
  20. I don't know where you are in Oklahoma but the Norman Public Library has a CO2 laser you can use for free if you have a library card. My son uses it to engrave some wood and leather things. I have been considering trying my hand at but don't know what I would have to do to get a card since I don't live in or near Norman. I think other library systems may have them but know that my local doesn't. JM2C. Jim
  21. After watching more of the video, I'm leaning more toward a coated fabric.
