Pretty cool stuff. Welcome back! Sorry to hear about blowing up truck after rebuild.

Wow. Impressive.

Nicely done. Beautiful dog as well.

Very cool. Thanks for updating the photos.

No, just the stamp itself. This video captures it pretty well. I don't cut with a swivel knife or bevel. I just use wing dividers to score the lines.

Very Sharp! Thank you first responders!

I am not sure what you mean by "gaps". The way I use the stamp is to first, create 2 scribed lines parallel to each other, about 1/2" apart. I take the stamp and align the flat bottom on the inside of one of the lines. The next stamp goes next the first, butting the stamp up to the end of the last stamp's impression. I continue the entirety of the line. Then I move to the second line. The second line's run of stamps is such that the top portion of the stamp (the round part) falls between two stamps on the first line. And yes, sometimes, I have to leave a little gap at the bottoms because I don't always perfectly align the bottoms on the first line. Is that what you are referring to?

I am almost positive you don't need a CCL to carry concealed in TX. If you have never had any classes or training with a firearm, it would be advisable to obtain the training for sure. Another means, especially since you wear jeans might be an ankle holster or pocket holster. Or maybe even a lightweight vest with inside pockets. Those elastic straps do seem like they would make you sweat. During summer months, it would be terrible.

That tri-weave is one of my favorite stamps. I love the incorporation of the symbols. Letters are so hard to carve in leather. Thanks for sharing your work!

Thanks @chuck123wapati @Dwight I really like making them. Very little stitching and a little glue.

Plain Jane shoulder holster in Walnut.

Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri. Lots of great knowledge here.

Beautiful work. The added layer of red really makes the initials pop.

Pretty cool. Love that snap head design.

A leather hand skiver. $20 and up.

Well said. And you are correct. Should probably check into that. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks. Thanks @chuck123wapati

If I never paid taxes to the govt or had 2 kids in the military, I may be more careful. They can't TM the military in my mind. It's for all of us.

Thanks. I hope so! Definitely pop. Thanks. We talked about that, he decided his jelly roll may get in the way.

Thanks!

Thanks. Yep.. A Sergey stamp

Yeah, this one was fun! Like a blank canvas.

Thanks!

I have had numerous requests for military style stamps. Here are some of them I have created. Using 1/4" thick clear acrylic. Works great in an Arbor press or vise. Most of the stamps are 1.5" wide or tall.
