I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous New Year!! Best Wishes from the Leather Clan!!! :biggrin:

I have a couple of cans of the Aussie Leather Conditioner and its great stuff! It smells wonderful as well. :) The finish it leaves is a tad duller than Atom Wax from Fiebings, but its plenty serviceable.

An old tooth brush is your best friend. I have several in my tool case. :) The firmer the better for getting into the creases. I tried to give this info to a Master Smith at a show whose sheaths all had white goop in the threads and carve lines, he looked at me like I had a second nose. :31...

Tracy's got the right idea there, a simple wax will provide enough protection to the leather. Now as for dye leaching out of the leather, it does happen with some dyes. If what I am making the case for has some sensitivity, or light in color, I will not dye the interior. Instead I will simply...

There are places where a snap is just plain necessary and logical. Take the "Pull the Dot" line for example, you wont find a Sam Browne Stud listed in the jump ready rules. A snap is lower profile in an around the handle strap like the one above, a Sam Browne stud would stick out rather...

With leather that thick add a drop or two of dish soap to the soaking bin. This will help the fibers to slide better and soften the top layer. It in effect lubricates the fibers. Using luke warm water also helps get the action going. This from Dave Cole way back in the late 90's when I was...

You never know what you can do till you try, not a bad job at all considering the lack of a swivel knife. :) You can find a serviceable swivel knife under twenty bucks new, and occasionally the Bay will have a good used one at a great price. You dont need a fancy 50.00 knife to start with...

Hellgap, thats not bad at all, basket weave is one of the most difficult stamps to master and even then mistakes are a missed hit away. KT, that is gorgeous! Almost looks like an inlay.

Nice Combo! The frame work around the inlay is original, well done. :D

Like Josh says, very clean work! I want to see how its worn as I just cant visualize it just yet. Inverted? I dont know why, but how many people can justify it, but I love that knife! It makes no sense but what does, all that matters is I like it. :biggrin:

Now that is one nifty rig there! I like it. :)

The Tippman Boss is a much beefier machine, but it aint the quietest thing in the house.

Hi Mike, We're you able to find a maker? If not give me a holler, I can help.

I did a search for Moaali Leathers on Facebook and didn't come up with anything? I'd love to see his work.

That's amazing! I love it! The wire and dowel rod types were all the rage back in the sixties and seventies when I got mine, I see them all the time in estate sales and garage sales around here. With a little time you could find one for a song. This one is under ten bucks brand new, it looks...

Nick huffing plastic, now I've seen it all........ :9: How ya doing my friend! Good to see you still active and bending ............... er ........... something. :3:

Randy, I may have the same loom you do, its heavy wire and dowel rods? I've had it since Boy Scouts, but it does the job, however clumsily. I've always wondered if there was a better system. KT, outstanding work as usual! I'm constantly in awe of what you do. :)

Welcome to Knife Dogs Claude! Good to see you here!

Well done, I do like seeing how other craftsmen do their thing. :biggrin:

Gorgeous! I love the color combo on this one.
