  1. Wish I could do flower petals as nice as you can, would have saved me a lot of money on turnbacks. Nice work
  2. For reference to others what did you change or do so you could download it in case someone in the future has the same problem as you did?
  3. You have to lower the pixel size first. There are programs and suggestion on this site how to do so this one is for Windows. You can resize the pictures. Here's one of the most recent links on doing this: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/page/2/ And here's the method I use. If your computer is a Microsoft product, you should have some version of Microsoft Paint installed on it. Open the picture in Paint. You should see a 'resize picture' option in the top menu bar. Click on it. I always resize by reducing the number of pixels rather than by percentage. 600 pixels should give a nice sharp picture that's not too large. When you resize one dimension of the photo, the other resizes automatically to keep it in the correct proportions.
  4. To say that rodents chew on leather because of olive or veg oil is a little far fetched. They also chew on wood and just about any coated wire without any scent. Humans are on the bottom of the smelling chart and when you walk into a leather shop everyone says it smells so good without any oil added to make it smell better. I think anything new or a fresh smell will attract rodents with or without oil.
  5. That's all I use. My snuff holder I made about 10 years ago is only oiled with veg oil and is just fine
  6. Just tried it and it works fine. Try a different search engine or your settings because it came up for me ok.
  7. Use Hi-liter or Goof Proof, it's recommended for kids so there's no worry about clean up or anything. The stuff dries really fast so you can seal and sew.
  8. What is the color of the second one and color of thread? Nice color combo.
  9. You were mia for awhile, thought maybe you spilled stain on the wife's floor again and she had buried you out back somewhere.
  10. Beautiful detailed nice looking belt. Was the keeper down with thinner leather? I've seen the thinner leather get darker from the burnish or it could be lighting. Either way looks great.
  11. As other have said measure the shaft and get a common sized one that's more available.
  12. Have you tried to make a flat needle plate yet?
  13. You ever tried https://www.stecksstore.com
  14. Is it 346 waxed thread you're looking for or just 346 thread?
  15. Got one from @chuck123wapati also just about the same blade and hands down the best for straight cuts. Have only pushed it. Is yours a single or double edged blade?

    I misinterpreted your statement, if you would have said "I like the way you ran the stitching groover all the way around ect.", That's why I asked the question and no you didn't say anything about stitching, I asked you that in the first post.
  17. Can you imagine the news stories about the idiotic society we live in now that would be losing body parts.

    So is your first comment a compliment or a suggestion to improve? I read it as you were saying something needed to be added like keep stitching in the groove..
  19. Nice looking work. Pics are easy to resize. Videos not to sure, most people put on YouTube then post the link and they upload fine.
  20. See if @Northmount can move to the saddle and tack area so the saddle folks will find it.
