  1. I really like that. Superb work!
  2. Hail Altimann! Welcome to the forum. What kind of leatherwork are you into? Have you made much motorcycle leather? Im currently trying to make a single piece wet formed tank cover to protect my bikes paintjob.
  3. Is this the kind of effect that can be obtained with an airbrush? So that the dye fades from dark at the edge to light near the middle?
  4. Welcome Dave, This forum is a great resource and is full of friendly folk willing to help.
  5. Excellent work again Tom! If you ever run courses on how you colour and finish your bracers let me know, I'll fly over!
  6. I'll send you an email, thanks Gary.
  7. Thanks for that, I'll start looking into it.
  8. Hi, Did you find an Aerostitch machine? Do you know what a sensible price is for one of these if sold second hand? Ive just been looking at a video of one in use on you tube and it looks like an awesome machine. I like the Boss, but as you say, it may be akward to operate it with one hand on the lever. Cheers Paul
  9. Very nice! What dye and finish did you use? Very neat stitching.
  10. Very nice work. I like the wet forming, its so neat. I'm trying to wet form a whole tank cover for my fuel tank, but I'm concerned I may get wrinkles or folds, so will stick to some very thin leather, maybe 2-3 oz.
  11. Great looking knives, are the blades replaceable? When you make them again I'd consider ordering one or two. Can you PM me the aprox price you are asking? Thanks.
  12. Thats some amazing work! I love the bright colours.
  13. Welcome to the forum. Im considering trying a Buell, Lightning Long. Ive always like those. Thats a nice bit of tooling, even more-so condinering you havnt been doing it for long.
  14. Thats absolutely amazing, one of my top two bands:)
  15. Thanks Tom, I will give it a try on some scraps.
  16. Great pictures Tom, If they tour England I'll make an effort to see them. How come you add the alcohol, I would have thought that it would thin the colour out or make it less vibrant? Do you just apply several coats?
  17. Tom, those are brilliant! I still cant get the same bright red dye effect with the same dyes, it always seems more dull. Which finish did you use? The red V on the black background is great.
  18. Nice work! For the headlight, will you be wet molding the leather over the shape of the light unit?

    Hello

    Welcome Sticky:) Ive been leatherworking for just over a year and this forum has been great! Im in Leominster, not too far from Wales. Cheers Paul
  20. Thanks, I plan to try something similar at some point, First Ill be ordering some tan dye to try out.
  21. Are the side sections wet moulded to keep thier shape?
  22. Thanks, I wouldnt mind trying that effect sometime. Is that Tan dye? It looks more reddish rather than tan.
  23. Great work! Can you explain how you got that finish? How and what dye you used and the final finish? I really like that look. Thanks.
  24. Nice work! I look forward to seeing the Iron Maiden one
