Members Rawhide Posted June 12, 2008 Author Members Report Posted June 12, 2008 Good job, Marlon! I really like the way you do your initials.KathyThanks Kathy. Got that from "Tony Montana" aka Scarface. I just made the "T" into an "F". I think I like that insignia. I know it's not really original, but...MarlonWow! 8 stitch per inch lacing. Bet that took you a couple minutes to finish.Boy did it ever!!. It wasn't too bad. I laced about 6" to 10" per night, for about 4 nights, maybe five, I didn't really pay much attention.Mlove that rich color...great job from start to finish...Thanks LeatherNut!! Quote Marlon
Colman Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Marion, Very nice work. Outstanding job on the lacing. Did the lacing take as long as the tooling? Johnny Quote Endeavor to perceiver.

Members Phil1 Posted June 12, 2008 Members Report Posted June 12, 2008 The instructions for lacing are in the book below Who's the Author/Publisher of that Book? I normally use 'Bush Leatherwork' by Ron Edwards (or more specifically, the 'Leather Lacing' Section of it, which has Instructions for 12 Styles), but what you've done ther looks great and I wouldn't mind getting one of those Books myself :-) Quote
Contributing Member Crystal Posted June 12, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 12, 2008 Very nice, Marlon! Ohh to be able to design *sigh* With the 3/32" lace- what size nippers do you use? I have seen one in the Tandy catalog, but it is 1/8". Keep 'em coming. Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather
Members Storm Posted June 12, 2008 Members Report Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Wow Marlon There is nothing about this piece that I do not love. The two tone lacing offsets the overall color. Beautiful Sheridan carve to top it all off. Storm Edited June 12, 2008 by Storm Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Members bustedlifter Posted June 12, 2008 Members Report Posted June 12, 2008 Very nice and clean and that lacing is slick! Quote

I don't know the author, but I like the pictures that accompany the instructions. It's very clear. It's only about 6 bucks at tandy. Very nice, Marlon! Ohh to be able to design *sigh*With the 3/32" lace- what size nippers do you use? I have seen one in the Tandy catalog, but it is 1/8". Keep 'em coming. Crystal Design...it's really not that hard. I just followed the instructions. As for the nipper, I used the Tandy one. The thing is when you punch the hole, the hole is so thin that 3/32 fits perfectly. 1/8 is only a hair wider so the 1/8 lace will either stretch the hole a little or it will compress a little to fit. either lace will do well with the tandy nipper. However, i did sharpen and polish it and that makes a world of difference when using it. Marlon Quote Marlon
