bikermutt07 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 I would knock someone down of they tried to sit on that. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Members rosiart Posted October 30, 2014 Members Report Posted October 30, 2014 Very, very nice. Though I'd feel bad about sitting on it. Quote Rosemary RosiArt's Blog
Members MonicaJacobson Posted October 31, 2014 Members Report Posted October 31, 2014 Awesome! I agree with the above - I'd feel bad about sitting on it, especially the braiding. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop

Members LederRudi Posted October 31, 2014 Members Report Posted October 31, 2014 Beautiful, clean work! I noticed that you primed the black portions with dark blue. Is that standard procedure? Would you recommend to do it to any project that is to be colored in black? Quote "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" Tuco Ramírez

Moderator immiketoo Posted October 31, 2014 Author Moderator Report Posted October 31, 2014 Rudi, I just used two coats of fiebings black. I've never had any problems with coverage. I've tried the blue first and never noticed any real differences. Bob, I buff everything after coloring and then I seal it with RTC. Quote Learnleather.com

Members Sona Posted November 2, 2014 Members Report Posted November 2, 2014 To answer your question Immiketo:I think they are awesome as everyone else. That´s a fantastic nice and clean work and I´d love to have the pleasure sitting on one of your stools (just to get up again and look at it for... a while)As I made some braided pillows for my journeyman's piece (carpenter), too, I´d like to know whether your stools are "breathing" like mine. So if you sit down your press some air out of the braiding holes and if you get up again, it soaks it back in. Do you have the same "problem" (isn´t really one, but I´d like to ask) or did you do it in another way? (I braided completely around every pillow so there are just the braiding holes where the air can go through....)And as always: lovely work! Quote
Members resqman Posted November 2, 2014 Members Report Posted November 2, 2014 Unusual background tooling outside the Blackhawk. What tool did you use? Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted November 2, 2014 Author Moderator Report Posted November 2, 2014 Sona, I have a hole in the middle of the core to allow air to escape. Also, it can escape through the lacing so its no problem. Resqman, that is a series of tools called can matters. TN, you'd have to take that up with the customer Quote Learnleather.com
Members Sona Posted November 2, 2014 Members Report Posted November 2, 2014 Okay, sounds logical. Thanks for the info! (and keep it up!) Quote
