Wet wool pants weigh a ton and you will walk around smelling like a sheep all day.

There are parts of the country that this could be a bad thing to do..

.

But you'd smell like a WARM sheep, not a freezing plant.

Just a reminder that we aren't full at 6. If anyone else wants to come, we'll make room.

My wife informs me that we have a baby sitter and dinner reservations. Since she was nice enough to pay for DonL's class last friday (Father's day Present), I figure now's not time to buck the system

Srigs will still be in attendance so we should still be go.

Sorry for the late cancellation guys. I'll make it next time.

The holster session was great - but we were missing Andrew. There were lines of disappointed permit holders looking for sheepdog pins.

I was able to do a pocket holster and start making what loosely resembles an OWB. I'm looking forward to the next session to finish them.

Sorry; had a huge headache, and no way to contact y'all. I even tried Srig's phone, but it was busy.

also worked on a pocket holster, and absorbed a few new techniques and ideas. looks like it's time for another Tandy trip to pick up a few more tools and supplies! I'm definitely converted from the sewing awl to the punch and needles clan - it's faster and easier, and if you use the thicker thread to fill up the larger resulting holes, it has a nice look.

Thanks Matt for hosting! Thanks srigs for the experienced knowledge (and willingness to share it)! Now I just need to stay motivated and work on a couple more...

It was a great time and your pocket holster looks good. Any time you guys want to get together again lets set it up!

Hypertech is in deep now and will be buying tools yet this weekend I'm sure.

BUY YOUR TOOLS BEFORE THE 30th!

Tandy has a circular out with GREAT deals lasting through the 30th. I just found it in a pile of old mail and I'm kicking myself. I think a lunch time trip is in order.

what finish was the "not as shiny" one again? I may make a Tandy trip after work tonight and I'm trying to compile a shopping list...

Tullibee,

If you're buying leather and you wouldn't mind helping me out, I'm looking for some very thin black leather (1mm or so with a dull finish) to restore a couple of British Naval Cutlass handles. A piece about 6" x 12" would be perfect.

PM me if you need $$ in advance.

Thanks

It also looks like you can print off their flyer from their web page with a 50% off any one item coupon.

The Tandy Satin finish is the one you want.

OK - so the Tandy guys did a really good job separating me from my money.

I am also now dyed dark mohogany . For some dumb reason I didn't think the dye would soak through the little sheepskin swab the guy suggested I use. I have to figure that out - it left fuzz all over everything.

So how many weeks is my hand gonna look funny?

Nitrile gloves are your friend!

I came out of Tandy only missing one thing from my list - they didn't have a single chisel point punch, so I'll have to make do with a 3 and a 4 for the time being...

selurcspi - I grabbed an 8.5x11 hunk of black thin stuff... if it doesn't look like what you expect, I can always take it back and see if they have a punch for me! What's your schedule look like this weekend?
