Thanks!
Thanks! I did not. I actually forget to record most of the time.

Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri, USA. Since the leather is already colored, no dye will be necessary. You will want something on the leather to protect it from the elements. I would use a waterproofing compound of some kind. Beeswax is a perfect solution along with other chemical compounds. I would not use resolene on it...others may weigh in.

The white is a water base which I'd not mixed with an alcohol base die before but it seemed to work well. The mix had to be agitated to keep the peal flakes suspended. Then a final coat of resolve. Edge coating is also a custom mix to achieve a darker blue.

Man, I have to try the air brush one of these days. Gorgeous! Thanks for the added details.

Very nice work! Looks great. Was the dye a mixture or a straight dye? What is the color?

Yeah, I saw that video. I took a stab at it, and for the life of me, couldn't get it. I will need to try again.

Well done. Thanks for your service and your dad's sacrifice.

That looks really good, my friend. The carving and stamping look great. Great call on the antique to make the lines pop. Well done.

Nicely done. It does look good, and unless you look closely, you can't even tell where the logos fade in that area.

Never seen such. Always something new. Nice job on creating a sheath for a blade like that.

That's some mighty fine work there. Great looking setup.

Been a while since I have been on...life has been crazy. To date, I have sold one, yes, one item through the site. I have since set up my own website and am selling stuff there. I am also still listing stuff on etsy with moderate success. As far as pricing, I built in the fees into my prices. No real loss, just another revenue stream. Thanks for the feedback.
