  1. Probably sails.
  2. I'm a woodworker and I have many planes tuned, sharp, and ready to go. They don't work great for skiving leather. A low angle block plane set for gossamer shavings works, but not as consistent as a sharp edger used by a skilled person. Going around corners and curves tends to chew instead of cut. I encourage you to experiment and prove me wrong. I had some china edgers and I thought I was doing great leather work, and then I got some tandy shivers and my bevels were much better.
  3. Your dye with is perfect! Really nice piece. I never think of orienting the cards that way. I like it. Clean stitching. I, too, would have my debit card in the thumbhole slot, but I don't like the thumbhole slot.
  4. Well, if you're showing off, keep going! Pretty cool stuff. But damn, lose the corporate speak. It's turning people off.
  5. I like it. Pretty sweet. Better than the first tree I carved!
  6. I'll post some in the morning
  7. I made a butt stock cover for my 30-06 with 5 or 6 cartridge loops, 3/4" loops, no taper. I hunt in the rain, in the heat, bust brush, get them absolutely soaked, and I haven't had one pop up missing, yet. Been using it for about 2 years now.
  8. Those are awesome! I really like the layout.
  9. Beautiful belt!.
  10. I like it. It's got a ruggedness that you don't see every day.
  11. Finish with polyurethane. Easier to get glue and whatnot off. If you don't finish it it will probably warp over time.
  12. Great job.
  13. I always put my second needle in front of the first for a nice straight stitch in the front and slanted in the back. I didn't even think about top or bottom. Thanks for bringing up this topic
  14. I'm only familiar with the classic fan type. I look forward to suggestions from other stamping folks.
  15. That's awesome. Did you dye the stingray like that?
