Members pkfirefighter Posted October 7, 2017 Members Report Posted October 7, 2017 Great job on the cigar case. I think I would like to make a couple as holiday gifts. If I maynask, what size down rods did you use to mold the leather? Quote
garypl Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks! I used 3/4” dowels inside and 1/2” dowels outside with small strips between the larger dowels to maintain spacing. The old cast iron holds everything in place while the leather dries. I think the 3/4” dowels were a good fit for #52 cigars. - Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members onelooneyzeta Posted January 9, 2018 Members Report Posted January 9, 2018 would you be willing to share the dimensions you used for the cigar case? Looking to do a project similar. Quote

Members JMcC Posted January 10, 2018 Members Report Posted January 10, 2018 Good job Gary! I love how the airbrush work came out. Have never tried using an airbrush on leather before. I am interested in trying that out. I guess a cheapo from HF wouldn't be a deal breaker either. Quote

Thanks, carson Hey Carson, I use a Cowboy CB4500 and very much enjoy sewing on it. I am thinking I will get a smaller machine for very thin leather so I can use thread smaller than 138. I bought the machine from Bob at Toledo Sewing - check his banner ad here in the forum. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
