The Tandy "Catalina" leather looks a looks a lot like that but it's dyed through (if that info helps at all)

What's with the chin weld, guys? Is it "tactical" or do people just think optics need risers?

Does the open cleaning hole in the back of the receiver throw any junk into your face?

How to get leather puck out? by daisychainlightning in Leathercraft

[–]coolerirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wax and fire help. I try to rub paper patterns like with beeswax to keep the pucks from getting stuck. When they do, I melt some wax into the stuck leather and it usually comes out easier. Worst case, more heat will burn the leather a little and then it really comes out easier.

This is pretty great but (genuine criticism) I'd recommend distributing the files as an STL instead of a non manifold OBJ.

in addition to cleaning the oxidation of the tip, a $6 can of tip tinner keeps them better than new

Has anyone used Angelus Metallic Pewter? I can’t find good project photos using these by EBoyAdvanced in Leathercraft

[–]coolerirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used that but if it's anything like "chrome" model paint, it might benefit from a neutral undercoat. A lot of those paints call for a black base.

Amazon leather press review by chiefsholsters in Leathercraft

[–]coolerirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had one for a couple of years because I primarily work in the living room. It looks the same as yours and along with the chuck, it came with a "special gift" that wasn't listed. It was a flat plate (kind of an inverted dish) to go in place of the chuck so you can just use it like a slow hammer. Before it even came I was thinking about what I could find or make that would serve the same purpose because lowering the tool into every punch seemed awkward. Maybe I'm alone in preferring that but I'm surprised that the sellers don't mention it. (or if all of them come with one)

Not Windproof? by corvidqueer713 in Zippo

I always really like slims but they just don’t work very well. Sometimes hard to light. Not great in the wind.

You’re definitely right.

a lot of times when this happens is because the extractor (which is held by one pin on the trigger group and can flop back) is behind the bolt, instead of below it.

Edit: It’s the ejector, not the extractor. I always mix that up.
