  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Well, if you're showing off, keep going! Pretty cool stuff. But damn, lose the corporate speak. It's turning people off.
  4. I like it. Pretty sweet. Better than the first tree I carved!
  5. I'll post some in the morning
  6. 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.
  7. Those are awesome! I really like the layout.
  8. I like it. It's got a ruggedness that you don't see every day.
  9. Finish with polyurethane. Easier to get glue and whatnot off. If you don't finish it it will probably warp over time.
  10. 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
  11. I'm only familiar with the classic fan type. I look forward to suggestions from other stamping folks.
  12. That's awesome. Did you dye the stingray like that?
