Nice work. Looks killer! You sure make some nice holster setups. Great work.

Nice work. Looks great.

Nice work. They look great. I see you used the Tandy Dillon money clip wallet pattern. Yeah I made 1 too, & you really got to massage the leather in spots to get them to stay closed. I was going to reverse engineer their pattern as well on my 2nd 1 i make. Great work.

Looks great! Nice work. What thread did you use, lol I cant see it. Beautiful piece.

Wouldn't any 1341 or 1341 clone bobbin work in that machine? Or are you trying to figure out the letter series of the 1341 bobbins.

I forgot about them Preval cartridges for the fiebings dye. Does 1 of them last to spray a full 4oz bottle? Thanks.

Thanks. I got a box of them nails in stainless steel. I never knew what they were for.

Thanks I appreciate it. Is your scales on the cpm154 knife, what they call or refer to as tortoise shell? Thanks. Nice work on it all.

Thanks. Do you use upholstery tacks/nails to fix your leather to the soles? Or are them decorative touches? Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Beautiful work on the tooling & beautiful knives. You do awesome work. What blade steel are you working with? & what brand is your dragon scale stamp. Nice work. Love the pine cone scales also. Them dang things are expensive but, stunning. Thanks.

They look great! Nice work. Do you make your own soles & insoles? Thanks.

As promised. Here is my very 1st poor attempt at antiquing leather. It dont look too bad. I kinda dig the look actually. I got 1 more step of rubbing in some Skidmores leather balm. I think that will darken it up a touch more. This is full strength eco flo super sheen, over veg tan leather, then fiebings dark brown antique gel applied & allowed to sit 10 minutes then buffed clean. Then I re applied eco flo super sheen to the leather panel. Heres a couple pics.

Thanks bladegrinder. I put the eco flo super sheen on full strength, then I used fiebings antique gel & let is set 10minutes then i buffed it off. It seemed to take well. Now I'm letting antique gel cure out & will coat it 1 more time with eco flo super sheen. We shall see how it turns out. Now dont laugh. I put the super sheen on full strength. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks.

Thanks I'll do some test samples & see what happens.

Guys & gals I'm wondering? Can Tandy Eco Flo Super Sheen be used as a antiquing resist? I'm wanting to use the Fiebings antique gel & curious if this is possible. I'm curious if is leave it full strength or dilute/thin it to 50/50. Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah I watch a lot of DG on youtube, among a few other guys. Lol i am getting a pile of wasted leather. Or should i say learning of what not to do.

@nstarleather what weight of leather is your grey visage latigo leather? Also are them sides you got & what square feet do they measure? Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate the info & help. I have really been cutting my toes off at pricing. But I mainly do basketweave type tool work. I am just now getting into leather carving. You tool work is great. Just love it & hope to be at that level someday. Thanks. Great looking wallets. Very nice stuff you are producing. Nice!

Looks great. Nice work. May I ask what you quoted your roper wallet at? I'm just curious as how to price something like wallets. Also what type of glue do you use on your sheepskin? & how you apply it? If you dont mind. Thanks. Great work BTW.

Great looking bag/tote/purse. You do fine work. Really nice work.

@Bchase19 Is it just a snake skin? Or has it been lined? Glycerin oil lightly rubbed over it. It will bring back the color & make it soft.

Looks great. Nice work. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks SUP. I'll have to check it out. I've been doing this for a bit, but I got soo much more to learn.

Looks good! She will cherish that forever. Nice work.

Ok thanks. I got a leather roller coming. I have heard of people doing that with kangaroo leather. The few videos I watched the procedure looked to work pretty good. I'll do some testing before starting a project. Thanks.
