  1. Hey there, can someone tell me where I can find a dee ring with a screw post instead of the standard welded straight side? I am looking for some 2" dees to do some alterations on a draft harness... Thanks!
  2. Beautiful, beautiful work!! Love the twisted fringe... Would you mind sharing how it's done?
  3. Hi Littlelou, My leather is about 4.5 mm thick... I don't see why the stuff you have wouldn't work though! Just as a rough guide, (sorry, all I'm really familiar with is inches) 1/64 of an inch approximately equals 1 oz. That is, 8-10 oz leather would be roughly 8/64 to 10/64 of an inch thick. Let me know if you need help with anything else! Kara LeaninLadder Leather Alberta, Canada
  4. Hi there, I have attached my two favorite slobber strap patterns; one is for long straps, the other is for short ones. I make mine out of 8-10 oz veg tan leather, single ply, but if you want to double and stitch them I would recommend two layers of 4-5 oz veg tan, or 6-7 veg tan for the outside layer and 3-4 oz chap or upholstery leather for the inside layer. I usually cut veg tan leather out with a heavy duty utility knife--not fancy but it works! Anyway hope this helps, and hopefully the patterns work for you!
