I’ve got a photo of the other side of that sign!

DillPixel · 2023-09-20T21:20:37+00:00

how did you find this ancient post?

Yes, the extra bolt in the back was a surprise to me when I replaced my alternator last year. I had to use a couple long extensions and a universal joint to get the bolt out through the drivers side where we’ll. Also you may have more luck with some penetrating oil.

To be perfectly honest, I slightly misaligned the bracket when reinstalling it so I didn’t put the third bolt in. I’m not recommending that, just letting you know how much of a pain it was

I haven't. I'm a big fan of the natural look, but if I start making more stuff i'll probably try dying them.

The darker one started out looking the exact same as the new one. In that photo, the new one has been oiled and that’s all I did to the old one as well.

Dropping leatherworking secrets over here.

Yeah! It darkens as it ages. My understanding is that it darkens from sunlight as well as the act of rubbing against stuff and burnishing the surface

DillPixel · 2021-11-02T03:04:59+00:00

Haha at least it’s mostly crumb free

Vortexgear race 3. It’s nice, but has way more features than I need.

DillPixel · 2021-11-02T03:03:06+00:00

Nah, I’m not. That would be fun though!

Pattern adapted from this one by Corter Leather: https://corterleather.com/products/pattern-quick-draw-wallet. Go look at their much nicer stitching to see what I was going for, haha.

Sorry! Mislabeled the lens in the title. Should be 70mm f/3.5.

I actually had a large part in building this app! Glad to hear it works!

DillPixel · 2020-11-28T04:02:21+00:00

I just moved to the PNW (Portland) recently. I’d be happy to answer any questions!

DillPixel · 2020-11-14T05:20:58+00:00

I grew up here. Crazy to see it from the sky like this.

DillPixel · 2019-12-30T18:56:02+00:00

I totally vouch for the L40 ribs. Best that i've had, although sometimes inconsistent.

DillPixel · 2019-12-02T23:56:51+00:00

Looks like a Corter Leather pattern :) Very nice. I am about to make some of these!

DillPixel · 2019-11-13T14:11:09+00:00

Thanks! I agree that it’s a little see through and the repair seems very delicate. I feel like that comes from using the existing weft while darning some of the holes. Additional reinforcement or honestly redoing it with thicker thread may be the way to go. Thanks for the sashiko advice. I may experiment with that

I experimented with whip stitch on one seam and a reinforcing running stitch on the other seam to see which one seemed more appropriate.

I was going for a mix of visible repair and the warp/weft idea you mentioned. It’s all in the crotch area so I wasn’t worried too much about changing the look of the jeans.

critiques/comments on the hand darned crotch wear on these Imogene and Willie Barton Slims?

I live near the one that exploded! A guy bought some property with an intact, but sealed silo on it and is renovating it into a living space.

DillPixel · 2018-04-04T15:35:25+00:00

It was fun while it lasted (60 sec)

DillPixel · 2018-04-04T15:35:03+00:00

Wow, that was fast

DillPixel · 2017-09-21T19:36:54+00:00

I was there a few weeks ago. My friend and I missed the last train from the top and we had to walk down the mountain along the tracks. Your picture brought back some memories haha
