Can I Embellish Leather With Rubber Stamping, Iron On Transfers. For Inkjet Printer..,..etcc

Find a business that manufactures or installs granite counter tops, and see if they have any rejects or cutouts for sinks. This stuff works real well, and cost should be minimal. Saves them from throwing it away. The only comment on what you purchased is that after you start learning, you are going to want a rawhide mallet or a maul. It is hard to do a good job tooling using that little wooden mallet they sell. Good luck,

Terry

Also, find a place that engraves tombstones (some do, some don't). They have the occasional mistake that they'll give you for free, if you can haul it away. I got (free) a 200 lb tombstone that I built a tooling table around. I can whack as hard as I can & still no vibration. Wonderful. For free, phenomenal!

Iron-on can be done.I use Avery Dark T-shirt tranfers.Take your digital image off your computer and print it to the transfer and go.The leather must be dry and blemish free.Afterwards ,multiple coats of Fiebings Leather Sheen will protect it.

WELCOME WELCOME I sure do hope you know your in for it now, this hobby is so addicting its like CRACK for me i am so obsessed its crazy. As far as the hammer goes you'll find that it is just really lite and it takes alot of work to do simple things but if you like it I have about ten of them I'll send ya some more, When I started I went to ACE and bought a couple of the rubber 1 lb mallets and a 6 oz one as well and they seem to work really well but I finally broke down and bought the Al Stohlman 16 oz round maul from tandy and its about the best thing next to sugar and coffee (yeah i'm addicted to other stuff to). They are a little spendy but its well worth it. And if your gonna get into this alot the best thing you can do is get into the wholesale club at Tandy because it will save ya quite a bit, I just joined the elite club for 135.00 but so far I've spent about 500.00 and got 965.00 worth of stuff so its already paid for itself.

of course your handle intriques me...especially cuz I am listening to BB's channel 74' on xm/sirrus .

I am already addicted...I am watching the video and was delighted to receive kits for a key chain, wallet...and something else...too lazy to walk over to the box and look. I am going to trace them for the future...I definitely want to do iphone...android...etc...carries...Would love to figure out the demensions for the Ipad...to accommodate the support it needs...and flexibility for horizontal and verd ...etc...

I am so glad Tandy is so near and just asked Nick yesterday about taking advantage of club prices....I am on a very tight budget and can barely support this new habit...but its cheaper than crack...in the long run..

Be careful about offering to send me stuff...as soon as you offered I immediately fell deeply in love with the wooden mallot...lol....Send me any and everything I could get away with...When you are ready...I'll send snail mail...shoot me a email...cj2015@gmail.com with...especially knowledge and personal experience...I will absorb it like a casing sponge.(they sent me one...cool)..liking U dude...where do you live?
