  1. Thanks dude- I usually like stuff like that too, but since I'm using it to water plants I had to strip it to clean the oil out of it. Plus, the old paint was terrible and chipped all over, so this prevents paint chips containing who-knows-what that the cats can eat I went with a repaint. Gonna letter it actually- just need to find time!

    Ha! Nice find corter.

  2. Here's a couple of pieces I had to make for my school portfolio:

    Big bag

    Bike wine carry

    Essentially the big bag can be worn as a backpack, as a messenger bag, or with no straps. I have a blanket roll that I can fit inbetween the big bag and the small bag for some urban sherpa park life.

  3. I have a question regarding leather awls.

    Currently I'm hand punching each hole and then sewing it through. As far as I can tell with an awl, you still punch each hole, but you use the awl to create a lock stitch. Is this correct? For some reason I'm under the impression that you can also just mark the holes and then push the awl through forgoing the need to pre punch the holes.

    If the latter is true, would you push the awl through all pieces of leather you are attempting to sew? I think I remember reading somewhere that the awl has a different shape as you move up the blade... this is surely true, and so I'm confused!

    Lastly, is the speedy stitcher just a "brand name" awl? Will it get the job done for me? As a reference I'm using 4-5 oz leather.
