Members capsterdog Posted September 2, 2015 Members Report Posted September 2, 2015 Very nice Mike. I like your coloring and the stamping design. I think people forget how creative one can be with just stamping. You did a nice job. SWEET!! Quote
Members shtoink Posted September 2, 2015 Members Report Posted September 2, 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. Can't help with the leather, but I can point you in the right direction for something that might be able to help with running power tools where you're at. It's a Step Up/Down transformer able to deal with 50/60Hz compatibility and handles 5000W. Here's 10,000W version... I looked up lots of them, these were the two that looked like they might do what you need and had the best reviews. I suppose this only helps if you brought all your tools with you, though. No idea what shipping would be, so you might just need to start keeping an eye out for deal at "car boot sales" and what not. Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted September 3, 2015 Author Moderator Report Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks everyone! Keenan, I have found a few of those here. Not too expensive either. Shipping my stuff will cost me 10k though. Cappy, stamping is lots of fun and you can make almost limited patterns. Just have to figure out how your tools fit together. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Tina Posted September 5, 2015 Members Report Posted September 5, 2015 Hi Mike ;-) I really like your work here, power tools or not. I do agree on the prices of tools here in some parts of Europe, simply to much. I still have tools (Dremel) from the US i use here in SWE, a big converter and 'Bob's your uncle' ;-) I even used that converter on my sewing mashine before converted it properly in to 230V.

Moderator immiketoo Posted September 5, 2015 Author Moderator Report Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks, Tina. My sewing machine has a euro spec motor but its still in the states. Who knows when it will arrive. I'll probably just build american outlets into my house after having the power rectified. It will likely be cheaper than replacing all of my stuff.

Members X31 Posted December 21, 2015 Members Report Posted December 21, 2015 Beautiful work, the stamping with the color work is really nicely done. I think some people forget some of the things that can be done with basic tools. Jim Quote
