I'm trying really hard to convince myself...and  "she who must be obeyed"...that I don't need an airbrush setup. You ARE NOT helping! Nice sheath!

everything needs a second look. And edit. And then, a third look.

So much leather...so little time.

I love my knipknives. Have the clicker on order.

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.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

You can buy very basic airbrushes for the cost of a couple of magazines. An adapter can let you run it from a car tyre

or; secondhand - can be picked up a spray tanning set up. A basic compressor with basic spray brush or two. I got a spray tan set 2nd hand 12 years ago for $10, compressor still working and does a good job.

 

Thats loverly bit of work there immiketoo

Its THE way to get even color and finish on leather, its faster, uses less materials and you can always do fancy fingernails with it too!

nah, if she says owt just say you need to have your own cos the other boys won't let you have the lend of theirs and they won't play with you if you haven't got one of your own - like a bowling ball
