Go ahead and get the welder out.

This is awesome advice - keep it comin'! I'm really, really loathe to bend it back out by heating. I could actually do it (I have access to an oxy setup for the moment) but I'm loathe to heat it/weld another bar in place/replace the bar. The primary reason for this is that I didn't make this setup -...

Any thoughts on how to fix my bargrill?
I got a good idea from Dante, but I'd also hear other input. The bend in the bar goes straight down (gotta block those hammer shots). No solutions involving heating, please - I'd like to preserve the finish. Thanks for any & all input. <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3570/3427228374_85f...

Oh, totally. I did it this way because the box-construction was eluding me, and I didn't have *that* much leather. Thanks for your input, Sir!

Did some leatherwork
Got tired of jamming my bolts into my belt for target practice. So I made myself a snappy bolt bag with my Society badge on it. I'm really pleased with the way the finish came out. The background is done pointilist style, in open imitation of Cat, whose works I have long admired. I found the techniq...

Well, you might be portraying a protestant, but you've got a morion - so I s'pose you're alright. An idle question - if you're going to all the trouble of doing a linen jack, why are you using kydex? Go all the way, and use steel. If you use spring steel, there won't be any weight difference at all.

Brewer et al, what is a good pattern for a jerkin? I found some heavy weight suede that I hope has close to the correct color. Jerkin is a loaded term too. The problem with fashion from that age is that a lot of terms are interchangeable. Sometimes jerkin = leather doublet....if that's what you mea...

Well sewn eyelets and a quality fabric will prevent any tearing. alail/scott Not in my experience. The holes behind the leather on the pourpoint aren't eyeletted. And that fabric is what I had at the bottom of my stash! Derian, to answer your query - there isn't any leather on the back of the pourp...

Caveat; I've worked with leather, but never made a bottle. I coat the outside with the appropriate color shoe polish, and use a buffing wheel on a bench grinder to bring out a nice, high polish. I don't know how this would affect your wax impregnation and all that, but I've never had any problems wi...
