All Leather Working Books

[All Leather Working Books]

There is a list of publications (many of which will be out of print) that appeared in the Sep/Oct 1991 issue of the LCSJ. I would scan it but I am sure "the journal" owns the copyrite. Just a "heads up" for those that have issues that go back that far.

"Lonesome Dove"

[Looking for two good books, what do you recommend?]

Two that I have found to be very helpful are "The Leatherworking Handbook" by Valerie Michael (ISBN 0-304-34511-3) for bag construction and projects and "Sheridan Style Carving" by Bob Likewise (ISBN 0-9679647-0-9) for learning to draw your own Sheridan style patterns.

[Make your own 'craftaids']

Just browsing the posts and the thought occurred to me that the little sewing notion "pricking" wheels would speed up this process considerably.

[New Floral Design]

Very nice work Storm. Very clean. I especially liked the detail in the leaves. Keep up the good work.

[Greetings From Indiana]

Greetings to everyone on the board.

I have been doing leathercraft off and on since 1995. I worked in the music business several years ago and primarily made custom guitar straps as a sideline.

Haven't done much the last few years as a job change keeps me traveling quite a bit.

Looking for inspiration to "jump start" the creative process, and to improve my skills.
