Members Hilborne Posted May 19, 2008 Members Report Posted May 19, 2008 This is super. I'm about to try making one to use with a 9x12 sketch pad, and I'm curious how you approached the inside. Got any pictures of the inside? Andy Quote

Members andystevens Posted May 19, 2008 Author Members Report Posted May 19, 2008 This is super. I'm about to try making one to use with a 9x12 sketch pad, and I'm curious how you approached the inside. Got any pictures of the inside?Andy I believe in keeping it simple, usable and not bulky. On the inside front cover there is a pocket cut at an angle and sewed on the two outside edges. As for attaching the notepad I do not glue the liner to the top cover on the back inside of the top just the edges and then after it is sewn together I cut a slit in the liner to fit the pad width. Sorry I don't pics of the inside of this projects, the next time I build a portfolio I will take pictures and post. Quote
Members craftsman827 Posted May 21, 2008 Members Report Posted May 21, 2008 Just love your work ! Visited your web site, FAB !!! I've been working with leather for many years. Just the last 2 years I've taking it more serious. SO I'm thinking of buying some new tools for sheridan work. WHAT BRAND TOOLS ARE YOU USING ? I know a good craftsman can use any tools, but I just have my old craftools, which ain't bad, just I've been hearing so much on this forum about Barry King & Bob Beard's tools. Just thought I'd give a couple of new tools a try. $$$$ IS TIGHT' so just a few I can afford right now. Any input would help. Quote
Members Spider Posted May 21, 2008 Members Report Posted May 21, 2008 This is really classy. I like it. Quote

I have some Fey, Don King, Ellis Barnes tools also. If you can't afford the real good tools a file, emery paper, and elbow grease you can turn craftools into workable tools for Sheridan style to get you started. Quote
