Very nice and solid looking. -
What a great idea. I like it a lot. I also agree with Michael's comment about dying the insides. Fantastic project!
-
They look great and very durable. My only comment is with regards to the third picture. I noticed you stitched across the leather handle straps. I would not have done that because it creates a perfourated line in the strap which could be a possible point of weakness if the straps are flexed over time. The vertical and lower stitching, and the rivet looks very sturdy and would be more than adequate. Just my opinion.

That's going to last a lifetime if not longer! Excellent work!

Wow! Those are stunning! May I ask what paints you use and the finish? I love the painting on such fine detail. I bet that's one proud owner Ah, ignore my questions, I just saw your other post! -
Thank you. The original picture had black lines on the sides to show the depth, I tried that on a rough practice piece but it looked a mess although I could have used a fine tip marker. I opted to leave the lines as just an impression since they are still obvious but subtle and give a similar effect. The pink is much brighter in 'real life' but being flourescent, it doesn't show on the pictures. The colour on the shaded sides were made by mixing blue with black, then by airbrushing I was able to control the intensity. It took some practice to get it right.

Here is my latest leather back patch, this time with one of the 'Twisted Sister' logos. The black is Fiebings Pro Oil dye, the other colours are airbrushed with Createx, Ecoflow and Lumiere paints. If you would like to see how it was painted, please follow this link. http://www.lordofleather.com/twistedsisterhowto.html

Work in progress on a Twisted Sister Back patch. Next the paint and dye will be touched up around the edges before clearcoat and lacing around the edge. -
Looks very nicely made and I like that lacing. As have been menioned, maybe a two tone effect could have been obtained on the tooled area to make it stand out more.
-
Thanks for sharing that. They're fantastic. Thanks for sharing that. They're fantastic.

Excellent work. The braid looks especially good and helps to 'finish' it off. I hope that mine will turn out as nice.

Very nice and original wallet. Do you use a real stone to get the stone looking boarder or is it done with traditional tools? Superb work.
-
I like it, especially the two tone lacing. Is it more difficult to splice or end the lacing compared to one colour lacing? Looks great!
-
Very nice and original looking. What finish do you use on the stingray?
-
Stunning work! I especially like the terminator one. Did you use an airbrush to do the shading?
-
It looks great. If i did something like that id have had to make it a little wider to get my mitts in. It looks very classy.

Hello and welcome to the forum Mark. Your leatherwork is fantastic. I look forward to looking at your pictures and website over the weekend. I'm Paul and live in Herefordshire.

Just seen this post. The width of the the circles on the 2nd design may be a little ambitious for your first projects. Id try to make circles slightly wider if possible so that errors in transfering the outlines and cutting are less obvious. The same applies to cutting them with the swivel knife. I would use something round to trace around or use a compass to scribe the circles. As has been already mentioned, try to make few, long sweeping cuts with constant pressure to achieve more uniform depth as you go around. A well stropped knife is essential on properly cased leather. Keep practicing and feel free to message me if you would like me to clarify anything. Good luck.
