  1. Can anyone tell me how to braid a bracelet like this? Thanks!
  2. I was given a huge box of scraps (oil tanned leather) from a customer that makes leather shoes......I couldn't use it, so I posted it "For Sale" on here under the Marketplace section.....Items for Sale......Leather & Lace. I offered it for free to anyone that would pay for shipping using USPS flat rate boxes and jammed as much as I could into each box. Those "scraps" are perfect for beginners or those who want to test dyes or cutting or sewing, etc.
  3. That's a great idea! I make acrylic ones if the design is basic.......but they are definitely not for production work.
  4. You did a great job on setting up the Kickstarter......it looks very professional.
  5. I had to make a whole bunch of 1/2" wide embossing dies that say "2014" for a customer and I ended up making more than I needed to. So I have 8 extra ones that instead of throwing out, I thought that I would offer for free to anyone that wants one. I'm attaching a picture of one. If you would like one, please e-mail me at: CustomMadeStuff@gmail.com
  6. Welcome from NY......love that beer bottle holder!
  7. Welcome Mick......beautiful stuff you have in your shop!
  8. Welcome Tarvos......there's a lot of great info on here!
  9. Welcome to both of you from New York.......there's a lot of great info on here!
  10. Finding the right font is important......I would suggest that you go to a website like Dafont.com.......you can type in "Magpie" and see it in hundreds of different fonts. It's a good place to start.
  11. Welcome Emma.......I'm almost local to you......I'm in New York.
  12. Just wanted to post a reminder that I offer any leatherworker a FREE "Made in America" or "Made in U.S.A." stamp in widths from 0.5" up to 2". Simply purchase it through my Etsy store here: https://www.etsy.com...p_home_active_1 Please note that Etsy requires a minimum charge of $0.20 and there is a $5 shipping fee. Thanks!
  13. Glendon.......I remember giving you a quote to make those Japanese letters about a year or so ago......please keep me in mind if you ever decide to get them.
  14. I can make the wood part for you with no problem. Simply e-mail me at: CustomMadeStuff@gmail.com
  15. Does anyone know the best way to remove acrylic paint from leather? Either unfinished or if there is a coat of resolene or super sheen.
  16. I've done it with small marquetry pieces......the wood accepts the dye very well. The issue you have to be aware of is the clearcoat finishing. Brushing on polyurethane will drag one dyed piece onto another......for example, if you have a black dyed piece next to a yellow dyed piece, when you brush on the poly, the black will bleed into the yellow. To correct this, you should put a thin coat of poly on each color first, before putting them next to each other (if that makes sense).
  17. For all you wannabe inventors, check out this website......one of the products they sell is a leather case that holds cash/credit cards that attaches to an iPhone case.....I thought it was a good idea and that some people here might want to make one for themselves: http://www.quirky.com/products/448-Keeper-stick-on-wallet
