THE BIG RED VIKING

The wallet in the movie is embroidered, but his text is darn near dead on to that.

LMAO. I just finished a wallet for a client with the same thing. I just realized I jacked your thread I am so sorry, if you want I can delete my post. Again I apologize! By the way your belt buckle is BAD!!!! I really dig it.

I made a few of these several years ago but they did not come out as nice as yours, very cool.

Thanks I bought some the other day, but just for dyeing! I am first going to try and avoid contact with leather just to see. Then I will experiment with some of the other advice y'all have given me. Thanks a million

Thanks Reaper, I have some latex free gloves I can try. Yeah that is my last purchase from tandy, where do you get your leather?

Leather came from Tandy. This current batch of leather I got early last month and two weeks later it appeared. It started on my wrist then to my forearms, stomach, thighs and sometimes knuckles. They look like welts as in they are raised and slighty red, they don't itch to bad and benadryl makes it subside. Thanks everyone sorry to bring up such a personal issue.

Thanks Matt, I can't afford to buy all new leather at this time so I will just lay off the stuff I have for a week or two. Thanks, Scruffy

Has anyone ever heard of someone developing an allergy to leather more specificly veg tanned? I have been working with leather for around 4 years but only here and there, but as of recently almost daily. Well I started breaking out in hives three weeks ago whenever I handle the leather i'm have, I thought at first a latex allergy as I just started wearing gloves while dyeing but I have cut those out and it still happends even if I am not dyeing. Dr. has no idea without doing a bunch of expensive allergy test. I am going to stop for a couple weeks and see what happens, but I am thinking I may have to stop and sell everything!!! Which I do not want. I know this is a very personal question but I would appriciate any help. Thanks

Wow that is amazing absolutely amazing

Welcome to the addic...er I mean forum, lots of great people and information.
