Thanks for the welcome Ken.

I also want to thank you for that tutorial on making your own lace. I took that to heart, went right out and bought a lace stripper and a large piece of garment leather and began. It's a litte weird at first, but once you get it going, you get the "feel"of how much tension you need and soforth.

Thanks for the tips.

Any time Marlon, we're all here to help when we can.

Once you get the hang of it, you can really get that piece of leather spinning, and make lace as fast as a speeding bullet.

Now that's what I call livin'!!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I've learned a bunch from this forum. Hopefully I can pass on what I've learned.

I visit the Hill Country about every year, I was born down there, and the mosquitos never bother me....must be the Lone Star pouring out of my pores...

Rawhide,

Somehow I missed your post of the pictures until today..... And you've only been tooling a year? Awesome stuff, I loved the tool carrier, what weight leather? I've been wanting a carrier.

David,

The tool carrier was made from 6/7 oz calf (single shoulder I think). I have kind of out grown it with tools, so I made a workbench sized holder (no leather though, only wood). Thanks for the compliments on my work. Navigating this sight has shown me a bunch of areas I can improve in. This place is great.
