Howdy, I was watching a makers video and saw him using an interesting clip to hold things together. I like that you can fasten it without disturbing the placement of the work pieces. Any ideas of what it is called and who may have these available in the US? This is a still from this video at the 17:28 time mark: https://youtu.be/o74-mQeuHoc?si=EppX-JVTkYWTm1QF

Hi, I recently bought two cans of oil advertised as pure neatsfoot oil. However, I have worked with neatsfoot oil from other brands before and this one seems different in multiple ways. I had used starwax neatsfoot oil, wich was nearly odorless, and stayed liquid even at about 10 degrees celcius, and saphir brand, wich had a bit of a smell but not a suspicious one and remained liquid too. The oil I just bought is supposedly from a brand called P.Paulin, and not only does it have a very strong rancid smell, it does not stay liquid under Id say 20 degrees celcius. It is also cloudy while the other brands were transparent. is this normal? is it just …

Does anyone know what this black material is, and where to buy it? I'm making a couple dozen briefcase inserts, and I need some kind of backing for stitching pockets. The ones the customer has today have a black backing shown here, that feels like it has an almost plastic feel to it. This is the sample they gave me, and I'm supposed to make something similar. I've tried bookbinder board but it needs another backer behind the backer - like leather scrap. So that's extra cost to glue a strip of leather to the book board, and extra work. It's also not ideal in case someone drops a drink on it. Thanks!

Hi All, When I was doing leatherwork 8 or 9 years ago I was ordering my thonging lace from AmazingOz because it was top quality and they provided a great service to me when I lived in the UK. Their website is no longer up. Does anyone know if they closed down, or just changed name? I'd be interested to know if there are other good alternatives of quality Kangaroo lace that I could buy from Germany. Thanks. Paul

Hey Everyone! I wasn’t sure where to post this question, but I thought if there are any suppliers reading this, maybe you can chime in as well… I bought some really nice and expensive vegetable tanned leather ($300 each hide) from a highly reputable tannery here in the US. (I don’t want to call them out on here.) My question is, I ordered 3 hides from them in 8-9 oz. I was disappointed as most of the leather was 7.5oz (I can live with it but it’s not what I expected) and one of them had ALOT of bumpy lines in it….over half the hide. I complained and sent them the attached pic and video of the bumpy leather but they said that it’s still considered top q…

Hello, Over the past several years I’ve used these forums to do research on industrial sewing machine accessories and binding attachments in an effort to outfit my various machines. One thing that I’ve noticed is that right now one supplier that often gets mentioned is KHsew. Like many of you I’ve actually ended up buying things from them and while they do have an abundance of componentry, I’ve found that logistically speaking working with them is a little more complicated because they are based in Asia. That said, I was looking at a cylinder arm plate I bought from them about a year ago and I realized that what I was looking at was e…
