  1. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with a Fortuna 12" band splitter? I just bought it a month ago and I'm having trouble making it work properly. Most of the time when I put a piece of say 6" x 7" 4 oz leather and I want to make it 2 oz the splitting is uneven or the machine "eats" part of the piece. Please help! Thank you.
  2. Hi do you have a picture I can see of the Landis K 12? My email addres is: rigoplascencia2000-1754@yahoo.com Thanks
  3. Hi I hope someone could help me find out what type of grained leather this is, I've seen it in a lot of high-end wallets and I want to try to make me one.Thanks for your help.
  4. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to get my products looking like coming out of a factory. I see a lot of briefcases and wallets that look totally awesome and shiny but for some reason mines looks very dull at the end. Any help would be highly appreciated.
  5. Thanks a lot Art. I will follow your advise guys. Dam, I love this place, lots of help.
  6. Anyone knows a good source for Italian calf leather? I've been browsing around the web for days and can't seem to find anything. I need a very nice leather for some wallets I'm working on, but can not find the right material. I was also looking for Box Calf but it is near to impossible to find as well. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
  7. Thank you very much for the tip. I really appreciate it.
  8. Hi, I am kind of new to leather work but I really like it and I'm thinking to get a sewing machine. The dilemma that I face is that I would like to make shoes in the near future but for the moment I'm working on wallets. The prices for this machines are not on the low side and I would like to get the most out of my investment. I've done some research on the post and the cylinder sewing machines but there are so many opinions that I feel a bit lost, some folks recommend the post, others the cylinder, some say the walking foot, others the roller foot, and honestly I don't know where to put my money. I know that there is a lot of people in this forums that have far more experience than I do, and I would really appreciate any bit of help that could point me in the right direction. Thanks.
  9. Hello everyone, I do some leather work here and there and I really like it. I would like to learn men's shoe-making but I've been trying to find a place near Los Angeles and it has been near to impossible. If anybody has a suggestion can you please share it with me. Thank you for everyone's help. Brandon
