    @SUP so you got a knife problem huh? Or knife fetish I should say. Me too! Love my knives, & just not leather knives. Lmao you can never have enough knives.

    The only reason I suggested not to drill any holes in it is, I know how expensive the pelican style boxes/cases can be. & to me drilling holes in the box just ruins the integrity of the box/case.

    Looks great to me Mablung. Nice work! What significant does the thorn reef play? What does it mean or stand for? Thanks.

    Yeah I have spent a stupid amount of money this year on stamping tools. But for sheridan style carving, I think a person could get away with just 7-9 tools. This is my very 1st floral carving & I think I only used like 5 or 6 tools. Yes I got a long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of this being my 1st.

    Yeah its definitely on my bucket list of things to do. Just the funds are not there this year to do it. Just seeing & being at 1 them big shows would be a joy for me.

    All the spots I have used have 2-4 metal tabs you bend over to hold it to the leather. I would definitely reccomend lining the holster after the spots were added.

    I got a 10 & 12 oz poly maul for tooling. & a 16oz & 24oz poly maul for my big hole punches, strap cutters & stuff like that.

    Yeah I have been buying tools now for a few years & still dont have all the ones I want. I reckon i got over a 100 different stamping/tooling tools. Yeah having to bring your marble is a bit much.

    If they are going to fly with the case/boxes, wont drilling holes mess the pressure system the box was designed for doing. Plus it just introduces a place for water to get into the box/case & takes away from it being a water tight case/box.

    Yes most of them classes want you to bring all your own tools. They usually will provide some tools if you show up empty handed. I would like to attend 1 of his tutorials to say I got to do it & learn some things. Don Gonzales puts on classes too that I want to attend.

    Make sure you rough up the area for the patch to be glued or epoxied. Rough the box area up with 80 grit sand paper where the patch will be glued or epoxied. I would use west systems G-Flex 650 toughened 2 part epoxy.

    Here is something else I recommend. If you happen to run across it in your journeys. It's got a bunch of different methods. For hand sewing about anything. It's a good book with lots of visual aids.

    Nope that's correct. That's the beauty of the "S" style threading of the needle. You can release your needle by just grabbing the short tail of the thread in the loop & give it a pull & it will release the needle. You can also put your needle back on if need be. Or adjust the length of 1 side of the thread. If 1 side gets longer or shorter for some reason.

    Congrats on the new piece of machinery! Eye Candy!

    Yeah everybody I've talked to, says they love their KSBlade chisels & pricking irons. Stupid priced thou for a full set. Lmao what ain't expensive anymore. Even McDonald's! Everybody I've spoke to, thinks the KSBlade chisels really refined their stitch work.
  20. DieselTech
    No I never put my calipers on the tandy chisels to measure them. They look closer to 6mm to me than 4mm. I might do that today when I get in the leather room.
  21. DieselTech
    This is what I think is funny. These are all budget diamond stitching chisels. All 4mm spacing or so they say on them. All saddle stitched with a right hand cast over & .55mm poly-braid thread. Look at how they all appear. The tandy 4mm stitching chisels have a huge spacing difference compared to the other 2 brands.
  22. DieselTech
    Looks great. Too high tech for me to do thou. Nice work.

    Another thing that works for burnishing edges is a piece of denim blue Jean's material. Works good.
