  1. Best wishes for you! I hope you do well. Maybe you could have a stall at rallies?
  2. Hi Half Goat, Nice work, I like the Norse aspect of your leatherwork!
  3. Very nice! What show was this?
  4. Thanks for that. Amazing work!
  5. Absolutely superb! What finish did you use?
  6. Very nice seat. Great tooling!
  7. Loving the guitar. Is the leather glued into place before the lacing?
  8. Very neat work. I like the effect on the first cuff pictures. How did you get that effect? The horse hair used in leather projects is a great idea for those with horses, to use the hair of your own horse. I have yet to try sewing through sheepskin/fur onto leather. Must be hard to see whats going on?
  9. Thanks All. I just used Fiebings Oil dyes for the black and red, no acrylics on this one. To get the dapth, I cut quite deep, bevel, background and then the important step is to gently re-bevel around the letters to make them stand out more.
  10. Thanks:) Its a free font called Gutteral. If you search for it you may find it or I could send it to you if you like it. I printed it out onto film to use as a pattern. I forgot to say, It's a fixed length strap, the ends are loosely based on a tamplate I found on here somewhere but I cant remember who posted it (sorry). I made the taper a little longer and used a slightly different radius for the ends.

  13. Here is my 2nd guitar strap (first tooled one) for the London based band Stuka Squadron. The letters are GD Cox (for Gravedigger Cox). Hope he likes it! Still trying to get the hang of taking photos of straps.
  14. Welcome Konnie! Do you have any good suppliers close to you? I love coming to Germany, This year I will have been over 3 times. I look forward to seeing your leatherwork:) Paul
  15. I wasn't too happy about the speckled effect that happened when I applied the Saddle Lac.
