Steve, those mugs are amazing. Im looking forward to having a go myself. I think I will try using 50% bees wax and 50% pitch based on what Ive read on here.
How long does it take to make each one?
Welcome to the forum Martin.
Where about in Dorset are you? Im going to Poole next weekend.
Ive been interested in leatherworking for about 18 months but got really stuck in about 12 months ago. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

I would be very careful if using very hot water as you are more likely to be inhaling the vapour that would contain acid! I would recommend using very warm water but not enough to see the vapour. Best doing it outside or under fume/oven extractor.
Great work, this is the kind of thing that Im interested in. Ill have another look after work!
Did you make the long bow?
By the way, your son has excellent taste in music - Iron Maiden !
Welcome John, now I know where to go when my next zip breaks. I recently had to get the zip replaced on my leather jacket. I expect one of my boot zips may be next! They have lasted too long...
