    Most of my horn work is 18th century repro so my carving skills are limited to scrimming. My best guess for what you are showing, would be to contact Phillip Montgomery. His carving skills are magnificent. You can view some of his work and contact him through: http://bonecarverpm.deviantart.com/

    For those interested, the reply from Tandy Louisville is as follows: "The free tool only applys (sic) to the Craft Tool stamps pg 46-51." No reference to a particular catalog but one would guess that it is the current one. I hope that helps.

    Just talked to a Tandy rep in Louisville about a recent order. The BOGO is limited to certain CraftAid/Craft tools now. She is sending me a list. As soon as I have it in my hands I will post it here for everyone's reference.

    Joanna, There is a recent post of a lovely piece of work by a gentleman in the Ukraine. http://leatherworker...=0 My question is this: What can I do about the design that he used? This is a custom designed business logo made for my company by Ingrid Houwers back in 2008. The logo is licensed to my business in the State of Kentucky. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, James james.mcdonnell@celticdragondesigns.com Name: James McDonnell UserName: Glaisne IP Address: 74.131.225.42 Email Address: james.mcdonnell@insightbb.com

    As a kilt wearer, I can say that neither are used to hold up the kilt. The belt kept the old kilts from "unwrapping". Modern kilts have small leather straps and buckles on the side. The sporran is just a pouch as the kilt has no pockets. Two sites that come to mind. The first site is a little more in depth but both have great information. With a little browsing, I think you might find something to help you out. http://xmarksthescot.com/ http://kiltsrock.com If I can be of other assistance please give me a shout! James

    A hand made knife which was a gift from a very dear friend. The blade is polished steel with nickel, brass, micarta and antler. The accompanying sheath is his design made by me. The 8 ounce leather was cut, tooled, dyed and sewn by hand.It's lined with white leather as well.

    A gift and a sheath

    From the album: Tinkerings of Glaisne

    A gift from a very dear friend (hand made) and a sheath of his design (made by me). A very interesting experience and my first use of a head knife.

    Reproduction 1700's powder horn

    From the album: Tinkerings of Glaisne

    Pieces and parts that came together. Equine lead, horn, chunk of wood, leather scraps, a few metal parts and some awful sore hands combine to make this powder horn. The etching was a freehand copy of a 1754 Civil War map of my area. I do not have a photo yet, but the cap has a German silver "star" inlay as well. The horn holds about 9 ounces of black powder.

    Muzzle loader shot bag with integral shot measure

    From the album: Tinkerings of Glaisne

    During a recent restoration of a Hawken replica, I decided to make a few items to go along with a fascinating rifle. The first of my projects was this shot pouch. The pouch is suede leather with an antler spout and plug and leather lacing. The plug was made to be used as a shot measure as well. An antler pick was also made from the same antler to clean the nipple on the rifle. Historic riflemen carried shot as well as lead balls for ammunition. Shot was used to gather small game for meals in order to save the larger rounds for large game or protection. The measuring cup on this was made to measure 185 gr (the approximate weight of a .490 caliber ball).
