  1. Me too , I got in the habit of wearing suspenders with a belt doing carpentry and having on pouches with every tool known to man in them . I'm a shoulder rig man as well !!
  2. Thank you Pastor !! Those are pierced earring parts ( ie a bent stud and a back inside ) . I once was going to get rich making earrings seems I have a lot left LOL !
  3. You should get at least 3 tries at those chaps ( if you were to need it )with all that hide Seriously , what plans have you for the rest ?
  4. It all looks fine to me but that hammer strap is very nicely done ! That's a man that thinks like me ...... belt and suspenders
  5. literally Between hat bands and other things like this my poor old hats don't stand a chance !
  6. @SusanC Looks like you have your info . Maybe I can help with the picture thing . If you have Windows paint , just open it and hit " file " in the upper left hand corner , find your picture and open it . You will see crop-- resize-- rotate just to the right of where you found file , hit rotate and choose which way you want to go Hope this helps .
  7. @chuck123wapati Thank you very much ! @sparctek Thank you !! Yes i am learning and guidance is always welcome . I try and keep that in mind but I think I get caught up in where and how many decorative cuts and just totally forget about fading . Maybe time , confidence , and practice will get me to the point where I remember to fade out . Thank you for the tip , one of the many things I like about this group !!!!
  8. As always NICELY done , I agree the second attempt looks better on the first design . and I may have to borrow ( steal ) that background on the other one
  9. @battlemunky While he does seem just a little odd , I believe he knows his stuff It never crossed my mind to do it that way , 1cc to 5,6 ,or however many cc's of alcohol is how I was thinking of it . Thanks !!! Looks like I may need to invest in a book or two .
  10. I think I told you I was going to try and steal this idea ........ well I tried and guess what , I can't carve that small . I still love the idea though and " the permit "
  11. Nice ! Those edges look like one solid piece . Is that between the weave and camo what is called a " meandering stamp ?
  12. Could you post a picture of just a couple of cuts in some scrap and don't bevel them , just cuts ? maybe a picture of your swivel knife blade ?
  13. Thank you ! I think I diluted 7 to 1 , I really need to start writing stuff down so maybe I can repeat it if ever needed . Yes Sir and I want to say Thanks again !!!! I have a ways to go to be good with it but it has already made a difference that I can see .
  14. Nicely done !!! Big holster for a Big gun
  15. but I did this for a local florist . Getting that pink out of a bottle of burgundy took a minute or 3
  16. One of the coolest things I have seen done in leather ! Kind of reminds me of " The Purple People Eater " from my childhood . OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!
  17. Well WELCOME from a hand sewer , what little I sew . You have come to the right place .... these folks seem to know their machines !!!
  18. Thank you Sir !!!!! I am learning and having a blast doing it
  19. Did you wet mold this ? The reason I ask is that just recently I tooled a knife sheath and then wet formed too ........ lost a lot of definition . I have since been advised to do one or the other and it worked much better .
  20. Outside of the box on the sheath !! I tried 1 leather washer knife handle in my 20 's and went straight to scales or hidden tang in any thing but leather ...... hadn't ever had the desire to do it again .
  21. Thank you , I have been searching today and can't find any bad info on using them . In fact it seems a few here use them on a limited basis . Moon is 2 different size ball bearings and some ball end stylist for craters
  22. I don't own any black dye so I used a black sharpie but now I am wondering if it will react badly with veg-tan leather .
  23. Look at this ,most if not all are used in this photo of what is called Sheridan style .
