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. :)

 

I highly recommend the air brush from Harbor Freight for dyeing and spraying finishes where I am not concerned about pinpoint detail work.  I use the #93506 air brush - cost $9.99 and there are always 20 or 25% discount coupons online.  I:like it because it comes with 5 paint cups that you can switch without having to clean the air brush.

I also use the Harbor Freight #62994 brush, but you have to buy extra paint cups and you have to clean the brush after each use.  Keep a straight pin handy to unclog the vent holes in the paint cups - they tend to accumulate dried dye and finish and won’t spray if they become clogged.

Either brush sprays Resolene thinned 50/50 with water and they do a great job.

Thats nice garypl. Dang what a friend to make something that cool for a guys birthday, and thanks for sharing the dimensions with us!

Thanks!  I enjoy making small items for friends and family - just started making and selling shooting accessories for some of the guys at my gun club that have seen my work.  I’m not interested in turning this into a real job, but nice to sell a few pieces now and then to support my hobby!
