Where are you in state? We are in the big city of Albuquerque. Ziploc bags are good for maintaining moisture or I use a piece of plate glass to lay on the leather. If you have any questions, I will be happy to try and help. Terry Thank you very much, Terry! I actually work in Abq, but live in Tijeras. Nice to meet you neighbor! Thank you for the offer on help, I will definitely be in touch! Quote

It's much easier to turn out good stuff with £1000s of equipment and machinery. The good thing with using makeshift tools, is that when I get proper pieces, I will definitely appreciate them . Quote
Members JBW1 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Made this little knife for my 11 year old daughter out of a file. Came out ok. Tried some freehand with the cursive E. I need more practice dying, stamping, and planning out the design. The veiner pattern didn’t end up lining up at the back, so I improvised a makeshift flower haha. And now that I took the picture, I noticed one of the pedals needs a touch up with dye. I was more patient with casing and did notice a better definition. Thanks for the advice everyone. I Still should have waited longer tho. Thanks for looking!! Edited March 3, 2020 by JBW1 Quote
