Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 1, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2015 Purdy. You have just a tad of 'fuzz' on the edge of the green one, but since it looks like the inside is chrome (?) I'd say those edges are meticulously done. Since I basically can count the ridges in your fingerprints, I'm gonna say that piece of fuzz is very small. That's the only cheap shot i can take at it Looks GOOD.

Moderator immiketoo Posted September 1, 2015 Author Moderator Report Posted September 1, 2015 Thank ya sir. Since I retired and moved to Greece, I am missing all my power tools so these are all done by hand. I miss my drill press Quote Learnleather.com
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 1, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Drill press will work in Greece - ya jus gotta flip the cord upside down Well, maybe a voltage regulator as well. My wife is an import from NZ, so I can tell you the NEW equipment is cheaper than shipping the old one! Still, looks like your stamps have adapted well to the metric leather.

Moderator immiketoo Posted September 1, 2015 Author Moderator Report Posted September 1, 2015 Well, The new power tools here are insanely expensive. I haven't decided which is cheaper just yet. Shipping or buying new. As for the leather, I'm using Herman Oak. Leather here is crap. Quote Learnleather.com

Thor Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Aren't you going to France sometime soon? Stop by in Germany and buy your tools here. Power converter alone doesn't work as we are having a different Hertz frequency as well. Shipping within Europe isn't an issue. If you need help finding something, let me know Mike. Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted September 2, 2015 Author Moderator Report Posted September 2, 2015 Thor, I am headed to France this much for the leather show. I should stop by. Been meaning to get to Munich for awhile now anyway. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted September 2, 2015 Members Report Posted September 2, 2015 Those are really nice. Like braiding until you try it I don't think folks appreciate what it takes to get stamping to look that good. Not only that but the use of colors like you have adds to the challenge. Fine workmanship all the way around. Quote
