  1. Thank you, my friend! Appreciate it!!
  2. Thanks for the great info, @Tugadude. Your post is exactly what keeps me here...to learn and be encouraged by encouraging folks. I will have to watch those video links you posted. I am trying to get my channel up and going as well. As of now, I only have 220 subscribers. Hope to get it monetized someday.
  3. For a set of 4 coasters, and I use 4" rounders doubled up. Either carve or laser engrave and charge $45 per set.
  4. Agreed. Been with it since its inception. Legit journal. not sure who Hasters is either. Only 2 posts and hasn't been on since last post.
  5. I really like all the different textures you combined into this project. I find I always come out in the red when making things for good friends. I am okay with that, knowing I have their friendship is payment enough. I also use them for guinea pigs when I am working on a new pattern or item I haven't made before. They are still gracious, but are willing to give me all the critique to make it better. Nice job.
  6. Thanks. Yeah, I like that stamp. Easy to stay aligned.
  7. Do a search for the doc holiday shoulder holster pattern.
  8. Stunning! Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing these beauties!!!
  9. Welcome! I hail from SW Missouri and there are many leather workers on here from around the world. Great to have you!
  10. Great job and great pics to show the level of detail you went through to get the final product. I almost enjoy making patterns for new items as i do making the actual project. Thanks for sharing!!!
  11. Welcome from SW Missouri. Lots of great information and folks on this forum that will help you along the way. Can't wait to see some of your projects, both in process as well as complete.
  12. Sharp looking replacement. What a friend!
  13. Very nice. Really like the stitching on the cartridge loops. Nice touch.
  14. Nothing like a gift for a friend.
  15. I love sunflowers! Nice job. basket weave stamps can be a booger sometimes. Thanks for showing us your progress. Please make sure to share the finished project.
  16. Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. Great group of folks here more than willing to answer any question you may have.
  17. sharp looking rigs and belt.
  18. Yep. It is a auto mechanics instructor at a nearby school that has done some work on my vehicle. The first item I did for him was a repair job on a hard leather rifle case. Since he is now considered part of the family, I did the repair for free. He came back for more. Yes - that is a Sergey stamp. I find the method of making the stamp he uses allows for easy alignment of the stamps. To me, even his basketweave stamp seems to just fit better in the previous groove to really locate the stamp easily before striking. Thanks. Got another on the bench now. Handmade knife a guy is giving to his daughter for her birthday. Hope to have it finished tonight. Thanks. There are 2 other tools that are part of this set that I didn't get. They are half stamps, one for right, one for left. I think it looks good as is. Thanks, Bert. Thank you! Thanks!
  19. Approached to make a horizontal knife sheath to replace the kydex one. Client happy!
  20. nice work. Yeah that is an interesting blade for sure.
  21. That looks great. Really like the design. The only thing I would add would be to wrap some leather around the jaws to protect your work from indentations when clamping. Love the quick release lever and how you made a groove for it to ride in.
  22. Welcome from SW Missouri. I too just made the jump from handstitching everything to just some things now. The info here is invaluable for all things leather sewing. Good luck and send a pic of that stitching pony.
  23. My dad actually found an old one in the field near his house. The handle was rotted away of course. He put a nice walnut handle on it and peened brass rivets in it. Before my LW days, I actually had someone make me a sheath for it. Still have it to this day. Thanks for sharing, and nice way to protect it in the drawer.
