Members Lthrz Posted December 23, 2017 Members Report Posted December 23, 2017 Absolute, beautiful work! You mention using "leather paste" to fill-in the backside. Of what does the leather paste consist? Thanks, Lthrz Quote Lthrz

Of what does the leather paste consist? Thanks, Lthrz The leather paste is made up of the fine dust made from sanding leather...... I just take scrape leather to the sanding drum and sand it down as far as I can and collect the dust from the floor.... Shoe repair shop are sanding leather soles all the time and just throw away the dust .... You then put the dust into a container and add rubber cement.... the rubber cement should be the type with a milky color or look to it, don't use the clear.... Add rubber cement to the dust and mix until you have a mixture that is the consistency of peanut butter ...... put rubber cement on your leather project and dry then back fill the embossing.....

Members oltoot Posted December 24, 2017 Members Report Posted December 24, 2017 If you do this again, make it easy on yourself and only make two loops on the vertical run on the double diamond. I have thrown a lot of these useful hitches and never with more than two loops, usually only one. Not actually knowing how it is most often thrown, you did an absolutely amazing job figuring out how to picture the hitch and the top pack. Kudos for everything. Quote

I have spent a life time throwing double diamonds....... this was done for artistic appeal to give dimension to the rope for one and two to see if I could do a rope that small with twists..... The original artist had it drawn that way Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters
