    Can you post a pic of the conchos front & back. It will help the others help identify of what is needed & where to get them possibly. Thanks.

    Thanks. So on your split reins you made, was there any stretching of the leather to take the initial stretch out of them? Thanks. I'll book mark that link.

    Beautiful work! They look nice. I got a guy that wants me to make a set of them type reins. I wonder if my HO Brown Latigo side is 8ft long?

    Mery Christmas to all.

    I think both Cowboy & Cobra both sell a pedestal stand. But they are pricey, around $650 I believe. I recently priced all the correct steel to fabricate a pedestal stand like Cobra or Cowboy sales. I had $200 just in steel.

    I guess I never heard of such technique as casing with oil. I thought all casing was done with water.

    Nice work. I think they look great! What weight of leather is on your leash. It looks like a double layer of 9-10oz in the pic. Thanks.

    Make some tote bags.

    I have not used carnuba wax. I do not think carnauba wax will seal leather from dye bleed out/ rub off. I use either Satin Shene or Super Shene from Tandy & it seems to do a good job for me. I personally think carnauba wax might make dye rub off/bleed out even worse.

    I don't think the resolene will cause it not to patina. It should still get patina with age/ wear. Maybe I'm wrong. I am sure others will chime in on this.

    Is that by chance a double loop lace technique you used around the edge of your wallet? Or some other type of lacing technique? Thanks.

    I think it all looks pretty good to me. Maybe I'm not picky enough? I bet wiping it down with acetone would lighten it. Don't know if this is a proven method thou.

    Inlay leather work. I can't think of her name at the moment, but she does inlay work on her custom made boots & competes @ the big leather trade shows. Lisa Sorrell is the name I believe. I may have misspelled the name. I think she has books & maybe even some classes on different techniques.

    Nice work. It looks great!

    Are you using a smooth feed dog & smooth presser foot? Or are you using a serrated feed dog & presser foot? There will be some professionals come along shortly, I bet they can give you the right answer.

    Are you using a round point or a ball point needle for the canvas? Also what thread size & needle are you using? & what needle point style? Thanks. I am a newbie with machine sewing & I been sewing some canvas too, but with a Cobra class 26.

    Nice work!

    Buckleguy is the cheapest I know of on purchasing bulk hardware.

    Can I ask what ground seat is? Thanks.

    I own a Cobra class 26, while I am a newbie to sewing machines. I think going from 1 type of leather to another type of leather, you will need to make a thread tension adjustment. That or you will need to find a happy medium for thread tension of the 2 leathers you are using.

    Looks great! Beautiful. Nice work.

    I finally got my 1st side of leather with a brand mark. It is a horseshoe. I think I will make a wallet with it. When dyed it should really stick out & make a neat wallet.

    Check out Zelikovitz Leather, they have 4-5 different patterns. Maybe get some insight from them.
  24. DieselTech
    Yeah I forgot about that. I guess Fiebings Saddle Lacq might be close to the Tandy stuff too.
  25. DieselTech
    I think you could. But I would do a test piece. I would worry about the lacquer cracking when the leather flexed. But you could mix some flex agent in with the lacquer to prevent it from cracking.
