Yeah I watched a good vid the other day with jim linnel. It was a older vid & he had a speech about people being too worried about their tooling not looking like someone's else's work. He went on to say it's not about that, it's about what you bring to the table & in a style of your own. Yeah I like celtic type stuff, your deer looks nordic to me. Looks great. Puukko's happen to be my favorite knife to make. Just love them.

Them look great to me. I appreciate your time & knowledge. Great work.

Yes I do. I got a set of petal lifters, including 1 hand lifter, & a set of modeling tools. Lol I've been buying lots of tools.

Thanks very much. I have been looking for a small head knife & that is perfect for me. Thanks again.

Thanks RockRash I appreciate it. Looks like a nice knife. What does it measure from tip to tip if you dont mind? Thanks.

Nice looking sheath! Love the tool work. May I ask, what brand is your leather knife? Thanks.

Guys & gals I'm curious if any of you have used veg tan water buffalo? It looks like most is sold in the 8-10oz thicknesses. I love the look of the leather & just curious of it uses. Would it be ok for single layer belt? Or should it be a lined belt? Would it work for bags/backpacks? Thanks any & all help will be appreciated.

I cant remember where I seen it, but I put some silicone based oil on the glue container threads with my finger. Seems to work for me, maybe not the right way. But since I started this I've wasted less glue.

Beautiful looking piece. Great work. I hope to get into making stuff like that someday. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I learned that 1 the hard way. Had a older side of leather & it took on a deeper dye color than the newer side of leather I cut a few remaining pieces out of to finish the project. Nothing horrible, but you could tell a slight color difference between the two.

Yep sure does. I'll try & get around to tooling some more later today. We will see if they turn out. Thanks I really appreciate everything.

Lol I think I read that article, where a person went A-wall over other options & suggestions for a leather sealer. Lol I'm not that guy! I was going to ask about mop & glo, but was unsure. I'll look next time I'm in the store. I got a quart of tandy eco-flo super shene sealer, I just dont know if it will work with the fiebings pro dye. Thanks I appreciate your time & knowledge.

Thanks. So are you saying you would use a stylus for the veined/lined wing sections? Thanks I appreciate your input.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I'm horrible at drawing too. I think I just need more practice with the swivel knife.

Yeah I dont have anything & it's too cold to ship. So I was trying to come up with something to use.

Great looking tote bag. You do nice work. Love the purple/blue straps. What color do they call that? Its sharp! Thanks.

Nice looking group of fine looking wallets there. Great work. Very nice.

Also forgot to add I believe they come with a acrylic grid template for a straight & angled weave patterns.

Guys & gals I ran across these leather weaving punches & thought I would share them on here. How cool are these? Beautiful weave pattern. Any of you professional leather crafters seen these or used them? Sorry for no link. But here is a pic. I think I'll order a set & see how bad I might cuss them or like them. LOL!

The big oval stamp is a 1⅜long by 1"tall. The small oval stamp is 7/8"long by 5/8" tall. Nothing fancy thou. Straight oval border with name & location.

I went with SteelStampsinc to make them. I had 2 different styles made. Both oval shaped. 1 large & 1 small stamp. I cant wait to get them, supposed to show up around the 10th of January.

Looks good. Great work.

Guys & gals, I have been wanting to try Fiebings Pro Dye, cause it looks like good stuff. My question is: What Seal or Top coat sealer options do I have? Most all top coat/sealers will freeze. So that wont be a option till spring. Can I use the aerosol Fiebings Leather Sheen or the aerosol Fiebings Saddle Lac? What options do I have? Thanks any & all help will be appreciated.

I'll do that. Lol now I want some custom stamps made. But at $200-$250 each I'll only get a couple, if they will even make what I want.

Thanks I appreciate the info & your knowledge. I do my knife sheaths & 6 shooter holsters about the same. But I never have that thick of welt. How do you remove all your extra welt on the outside? Thanks.
