  9. Wellcome to the site! Sometimes I use the laser printer for to mark the guidelines (like a transfer) in the leather for carving it after but I don't got that a "photo printed" with laser await more than six months.

  12. I hope these pics can help to you, there are five pics with leather trunks with 500 years old from a medieval museum. I don't know where I got them. I think your style is like the scotish curran, the gang's bag.
  13. What astonishing work!!!! Only one suggestion, a proposition for your imagination and creativity: do you like the Star Wars warriors's uniform? Would be difficult make it with leather?
  14. WW, fine dragons! Thanks. Do you know if with a hard laser, with more time burning the leather, the finish would be the same?
  15. Dan, thanks for your how-to tutorial. It can be possible use a pyrograph with that kind of leather?
  16. Fine work! Can you explain to me a little how to carving that kind of leather? Thanks
  17. Can you send me one index of activities with leatherwork for children between 5 to 13 years old? They are not boy scouts. I would like to organize a course for them all the morning saturdays of the year and in the summer holidays. I'll be grateful for your support.
  18. For attach a braided leather is better the glue, I think. If you braided with leather all the wood you can make two thin incisions on the wood where the braided is finish and where you begin to braid and press the leather in that points, so perhaps you don't need glue. For a wrapped, why not to sew the leather with thread (leather, linen or nylon) around the wood? I maked it for knife sheaths and handle knives and is fine; for a sword handle of leather and wood you need glue. Before sew I molded the damp leather in the wood. Sorry, sometimes I am not unable to explain myself better. I don't know if you need this pict.
  19. I use photocopy transparent film (I think his name is vinyle, a plastic), is better than xray film or print in paper. Sometimes I print my patterns from my computer to the laser printer in the transparent films and after I trace the pattern on the leather easily. If you have near from you a printing press or a printing works store they use a similar film to the xray one and within toxic waste. Also there is a transparent or translucent plastic for binding photocopies (is like craftaid plastic with one millimetre thick) which you can made your patterns for to cut the leather pieces.

  22. Fantasctic works! What kind of leather, dies, finished and colours do you use? How many days do you need for every armor? Do you have patterns or do you make custom with your own designs and wild imagination?
