No April Fools Here

A lot of things will happen on April 1st, which is of course, April Fool's Day. Posts will be made and then deleted because somewhere, someone took it seriously and got offended. We are playing the April Fool's game a little different. Any purchases between now and March 31st will be entered into a drawing and the winner will be announced on April 1st, or shortly there after.

No joke here, the winner will received a 50% refund of their latest purchase. A live video will be held to announce the winner, so order on!

Storage Cleanout

Every once in a while, I'l have an odd thing on my site. It's storage cleanup, and it's my loyal customers who get the option to buy the items first. It might be a leather product, or an electronic product, or something off the wall, but keep an eye out as there will be more, especially pending a possible location move, we are cleaning shop. I will email out to the email subscribers what will be on the site a day before I list it, so if you want fair warning, sign up! -James

Welcome!

This is where I'll be displaying some works in progress, as well as introducing you to some other mediums I work with besides leather. I'm working on getting a subscription email set up, so that you can keep up when changes or news occurs. Thanks for visiting, there will soon be much more content. -James

I have actually been using this for a while, it's what I tend to use as a solid base to make my leather wet molds (ie the skull in the pirate chest). I've tried making dice, making skulls, making jewels and gems (with clear resin and tint). most of which are actually in fact used in the creation of the pirate chest. I'm still trying to figure out a useful way to effectively use this in my leatherwork, other than making forms for wet molds. I would like to make acrylic casts of firearms or knives so that I could premake some holsters, but that would be a lot of molds, and a lot of things being borrowed from people so I don't foresee that happening. In short, this is really a skill that will help me when making special molds for leather, so I branched out, and I wasn't terrible at it. Quick Fact, most of the "jewels" in my pirate chests are hard acrylic that I made personally, and on that note, so...
