Members particle Posted April 19, 2011 Members Report Posted April 19, 2011 Very nice! Can I ask what letter stamps you're using? They look pretty small - 1/8"? Interesting finish combination - I guess they are chemically similar enough there was no problem mixing them? Quote Eric Adamswww.adamsleatherworks.com | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram
Members Shooter McGavin Posted April 19, 2011 Author Members Report Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks guys. Yep, 1/8" stamps that are really meant more for marking steel, but I already had them so I figured why not use em The super sheen and satin sheen mix quite well. The super sheen is just too glossy for me on smooth black, and the satin is too dull. I ordered some Angelus 600 and 610, but with how super shiny the 600 is, I'm afraid to even open the 610 lol.

I used to make a living building lowrider car suspensions in my garage, until my lungs couldnt take it anymore. I still love metalworking, I just have to do it on a much smaller scale now.

Members Reaper Posted April 20, 2011 Members Report Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry to read that about your lungs, thats a scary thing no matter what the cause is. Whatever you do, take care of your self, Breathing is kinda important for most things. I like your Leather and I'd bet the Suspension, Electronics, Hydraulics work was fun and a blast when you got to see your work in actions. Leathers a good choice imo for you because of being able to be creative, spend the time on the detail and knowing your work is appreciated. I think that is probably what draws many of us to it....
