Help needed how to soften leather

06 February 2012 - 12:47 PM

I have bought a 2.5kg bag of mixed leather off cuts, thickness varies between 2.5mm to 3.5mm some is very stiff how can I make it subtle and soft. If you could help I would appreciate it.

some more attempts at the match strike

Not done it yet but will keep trying I might have to practice with the swan vestas until I can hit just the tip more consistently.




Anyone seen these

I can't believe this he is selling them for a penny with free postage and claims they are stainless steel.

Strike it anywhere match head attempt

16 January 2012 - 03:44 PM

It was close produced some smoke but not quite I will try again tomorrow if it warms up it's -8 tonight. I would like to get that mdf sheet cut into managable sizes and add a plywood handle to the slingshot Bill has sent me it works as it is but I have seen many on here add handles to narrow slingshots and this is perfect for me to try my hand at this. Oh here is the video sorry for rambling it's my age it comes to us all.

A surprise from Bill hays quite a big one

I received a huge surprise from Bill this morning I knew he was going to send some of those strike it anywhere matches to me ,but I also received many extra's as you will see in the video, but I don't know why unless it has connections to the slingshot can shooting league, Don't get me wrong I am very surprised and very grateful thanks again Bill. Oh one more thing a programme that Bill has mentioned before is showing on sky documentaries here in the UK tonight on the military channel, it is called Top shot showing at 9pm so I will be taking a look at that.
