Are they a lined dress belt? Could we get a couple pics to see what we are dealing with? Have you tried sticking new tape to it & then removing the new tape? Lots of times that works for me to remove the tape residue. Sounds like your tape might be getting old. Keep us posted.

Thanks I appreciate it. Yes if you get time, I would like to see a pic of it, if it's no trouble. Thanks again.

Looks awesome! I love it. Looks professional to me. Lol the tyvek has gotten me a couple times to. Great job!

Looks good! Better than I could do. Lol I would need a tracing pattern. Are them letters swivel knife cut & then beveled? If so I would say they look fairly good to for just picking up the tools. Well a project like this speaks from the heart & should win her over! Or at least make her lean towards him more. Congrats on the great work.

Thanks guys I appreciate your input. @327fed what type of heater did you get for your stamp? Is it just a alcohol burner? Thanks.

Great job looks awesome! Colors look good together too. @Hags where do you get your blue guns thru? & do you ever sell them or rent them out? Thanks.

Thanks @Burkhardt I appreciate your input & knowledge. I'll have to figure out if I can work that into this pattern.

I forgot to add! Great looking fillet knife you made as well. Nice work.

Thanks TonyV I appreciate it & I agree the wallet would look better with the top corners radiused. Yeah I'm 1 also that cant leave nothing alone. Lol got to massage it here & there to kinda make it my own. Thanks.

Great work. Looks really nice! Thanks for the mules foot tip. That has never dawned on me to do that. It looks great.

Lol I should of mentioned I bought the acrylic template.

Guys & gals this is a couple pictures of a tandy wallet. Dont yell to bad at me for that. Is there any reasons why the top corners could not have been radiused? I think this tri-fold would look a lot professional if it was. Also do you see any reasons why they could not of sewn across the top of the wallet to have a complete perimeter of stitching. Yes the top outer stitch line would need to be stitched 1st before assembling the wallet. What's your guys & gals thoughts on this. Thanks. Any & all help will be appreciated.

To me it looks like there is 2 types of lacing techniques. 1 of them kinda looks like the double loop lace technique. But the other lace pattern throws me off. The double loop lace techniques is 1 of my favorite. It makes almost a braided rope effect around the perimeter of the piece along the edges.

Can you get another picture of the lacing pattern around on the back side corner of the item you posted. Thanks.

Like others have mentioned snap & unsnap them numerous times & see if they loosen up. You could also try a different brand of line 20 snaps & see if they are any better or worse.

Thanks I'll check them out. I'll see what they got to offer.

Bunch of good guys & gals on this forum willing to help out. Welcome to the group.

@bruce johnson do you by chance got any pictures of that lattice/vertical lined beveler procedure you do? Or got a place I can go look? Also who or what brand of vertical lined bevelers do I need to buy to accomplish this stamping/tooling procedure on the lattice basket weave? Thanks I appreciate your knowledge & help.

Thanks for the info. Yeah that piece of leather I tooled was too wet when I stamped it. So you say you take a vertical lined beveler & stamps the lined portion of the Barry King stamp to give it more depth & dimension. Thanks. I will need to get them style of beveler stamps. As I got the checkered ones. Thanks I thought that name looked familiar. Yeah he makes some nice stamps. I think he makes the chain link stamp I like as well.

Yeah I been looking at some of his stamps, he makes some nice stamps. I think for me to get them stamps here to Kansas, they basically double in price. He makes the dragon scale stamp I would like to have. Thanks for the info & link.

Guys & gals am I using the barry king lattice stamp correctly? Or am I missing something. Lol like my mind!

Yes the Barry King Lattice stamp, Will get you turned & flip upside down & around. Lmao I was struggling this morning with it. Great looking stamp thou.

Thanks Wizcrafts. I appreciate the history lesson. I like to hear about machines & older things long & forgotten about.

I would like to see your craftool ergo revamp with the stacked leather. Might have to get me 1 to try the same thing with. Keep us all posted. Thanks.

Looks great! Nice work on the holster. I think the oil will fade with time, & the holster will eventually darken to the same color over time/use. Nice!!!
