Recently I made my first piece for sale. A random guy stopped me on my way out of Lowe’s (big chain hardware store in the US, for those not familiar) to ask me where I got my dog’s leash, since I had her with me. When I told him I made it myself, he immediately asked how much I would charge to make one. I worked up a quote and made him a leash very similar to my dog’s leash. Sadly, I took only this one picture of it before handing it over. Next project was a collar for my dog with her name carved in it. Very simple, no backgrounding, and somewhat messy lettering—definitely doesn’t hold a candle to what I’ve seen on here that I used for ideas; but it’s adequate f…

Not much leather work here but it was something I needed. After I "retired" from the Engineering BS we opened a dog boarding and grooming kennel as it seemed to go hand in hand with my hobby of dog showing and breeding. Well after 20 years of use our last original kennel slip lead finally decided to give up the ghost. I always have liked the English style kennel slip leads but they are now costing about $20 CAD plus for something sort of half decent in 1/2" diameter and $40 CAD for a proper spliced 5/8" double braided nylon. I personally don't like the feel of flat nylon or flat polyester leads or the leads made PVC coated webbing's like biothane and how they wo…

The mother of my daughters best friend has got a broholmer (an old Danish breed) Her collar was damaged and held together wit a simple cable strip, and I felt compelled to make a new collar for her. I measured the circumference of her neck using a paper napkin (I met the dog at a horse competition, so I didn't have a measuring tape with me) The hardware was made on board the ship out of heavy brass plate. The lining is made out of some old thin leather that was originally the upholstery of the couches on board. The real name of the dog is Isolde, but she is always called Solle, and I checked with the friend of my daughter and that was what she'd like on the…

I am wanting to make a long dog leash but not sure what leather I should use. Its for a Siberian husky, not sure of weight yet because he was skin and bones but now gaining weight every week. Shouldn't be much over 60 pounds. I found some 5/8' x 96" x 3.2 to 3.6mm thick Latigo strips. Is that thick enough for a leash? He doesn't pull much walking but if he hits on a smell he liks he squats low and pulls and there is no pulling him back.any help would be appreciated.

I made a couple dog collars for my nephew's Belgian Malinois. Mäts collar is a working collar. I made it a mahogany brown with black edges and has a control handle. The handle is two stacked 10oz wrapped with 5oz. Josies' collar is a show collar. It's a cherry brown with black edges. I used 10oz veg-tan doubled over, 1.0mm black thread, 2" buckles, 2" tie down D-rings, 1.25" leash D-rings.
