A bit of an unconventional topic for a forum like this, I'm just not sure whom else to ask than a bunch of leatherworkers. Preface: In DND, spellcasters (Wizards, Sorcerors, and Warlocks) use an Arcane Focus. An Arcane Focus is a special item to channel their magic, replacing the need for certain material components when casting spells. Spellbooks, hold spells to later access and utilize. Normally they are leather bound books of pages. Some spellbooks could use metal sheets in which spells are etched with acid. My character's "spellbook" was a staff with leather straps attached to a staff. Braided leather cord, leather straps with increasing length and width with s…

I just got off the phone with Mr. Kovar over at Toledo sewing and the conversation moved over to older cars. I told him I'd post up a picture of my pride and joy. My 66 Chrysler 300. It took me 10 years to buy this car from my brother and I've been working on it for 5 more to get it to this point, Before and after. I'm also trying to build a 36 international 1/2 ton pick up

Leather Lovers, I want to get to know you. Do you dream of 12 strand-round braids and live to pound a mallet while rive-setting? Yeah. Me too. I am new to this community, and while taking a long whiff together of a room that smells of leather hides can not yet happen for us... Let me welcome you into my Design Studio via youtube all the same. -ahni https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS2vGbuzzSI

What a beautiful, but sad story! And what beautiful craftsmanship! Homecrafted: Decor, Garden, Kitchen Maey Mary · sSeodtponru8gm04if930a9cc29i2gh33talmcut93a8g16chhtmu6hgu72i · This chair isn’t just a chair. It’s where grief turned into something beautiful. A few months ago, after my mother passed, I went back to her house after the funeral. I walked into her sewing room — the one she practically lived in — and was immediately overwhelmed. Her Singer machines were still sitting there. Half-finished pieces. Ribbons…

With a nod to 'Ripley's Believe It or Not!' I thought a thread like this would be fun I'll start with; The B-52 has been in service longer than the period of time between its own first flight and that of the Wright Flyer. From earliest times up to the end of the Medieval period men carried their personal items in a shoulder bag called a Scrip and women carried their items in pockets under their dresses. At some time it all got reversed Belt loops on trousers were not invented until about 1896 So if you see a cowboy film set before this and they are wearing belts through trouser loops they've got it wrong Anyone who ha…

Got an old defect V-8 sitting in your back yard ? Or some old rods under your workbench ? Well, here is a simple project. Make a toilet paper roll holder out of them - I keep one standing on my work table for general clean up work. Makes a good gift to a V-8 lover as well - if you want, get the rods powder coated in the colour of your choice. For the round bar I use old Japanese motorcycle front axles cut down or any other round stock available. I call this "up-cycling" Greetings Hans
