That's pretty darn cool. What a compliment!

Those are really fine work. The BW is very good and the flat rope border goes nicely with it. The pen holder is a cool design, too. All around a nice set. Very good work.

They look great! That's some beautiful work.

The stream seems to be doing what it should. A quick check to that generally doesn't net any replies to threads I've participated in. I assume that any and all new replies will get found that way. I'll start posting more and see what comes back. It seems like a lot of unnecessary strokes but hopefully the stream is one way to know of any replies. I would feel better if I got emails, though.

That's really good work. You were most successful with this "can I make one of those?" project.

Antiquing sure gives it some definition and depth. Looking really good.

That looks great. Just enough basket weave, just enough molded leather, just the right color. Well done.

That didn't work. All I got was a list of threads I never even visited. I deleted it and made another one slightly different. Under 'Following' I chose only content I follow instead of everything. Hopefully that will net the right results.

Thanks for the reply, Northmount. I set up a stream as you suggested. I don't understand what it means, but it's there. I attached the page for it. If that doesn't do what I need, I'll contact @Johanna. I may do that anyway.

If notifications are not possible, if I could search by new content to threads I'm following that would help. Right now, I'm still bungling around trying to figure out how the software for this forum works. I'm a moderator on two other forums but this one doesn't work the same. I have tried following the links at the top of the page under 'Activity' > 'My Activity Streams' > 'Unread Content', 'Content I Follow', 'Content I've Started', and 'Content I've Posted In'. but there seem to be a lot of other threads included in those searches. Is there one link that will just list new content to threads I follow?

That story would be one to hear. I would also keep the badges in the belt. One's imagination can fill in nicely where facts are absent.

Those are some very nice handles. That really looks great. In applications where that type of handle can be rigid, I like to bury the stitching completely. It makes for a more comfortable handle. I wet the seam then mold the leather both ways over the stitch line with a hammer. The photos were taken after that tote had been used for over 10 years.

I looked those up. They're very nicely bound notebooks. That should be quite enjoyable to use.

Those do look nice. It's cool to have the matching set. Does the notebook take a spiral bound note pad by slipping the cover in one or both sides?

Good job on those. I wouldn't have thought to use the stitch awl for the cross hatching. I've done it with a swivel knife in the past. Maybe I'll try an awl next time.

That's a fine cover you made. It's most suitable for the purpose. The pen is a nice touch, too. I have a few classic fountain pens but never got into using them, other than for calligraphy. I haven't done any of that for quite a time, now. I do appreciate a good pen, though. Nice work, I hope it is fully appreciated by your family some day when you're no longer around.

Thanks for the test. No, still not getting any notification emails. I can't help but think it must be something simple.

Welcome to the forum, Zippin. Mighty nice work you're doing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Clean. It's nice to see a belt without a lot of foofooraw on it. Very nice work.

I just went back to the settings and enabled emails for all notifications. Maybe that will help.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Will post back if that works. Edit: I just checked and that option is already chosen.

Keep that one for sure. I don't have my first one or even the second. I do, however, have the third one I made. The first went with the pistol when I sold it. I still have the pattern, though.

I have yet to get any notification of replies to threads I've posted in or want to follow. I have checked these points in 'Notification Settings': What gives? I must have some setting wrong but darned if I can figure it out. I remember this from the first time I was on the forum and eventually I just stopped checking. There are some outstanding forum members here but this makes me less apt to participate. I'm back to give it another try so any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.

Looks good. Everyone has a first one. Now you can start making mods as you see things you want different. Congratulations.

Looking good. Those leaves look just right. Enough background showing to set them off.
