Thanks. We,ll try

Thank you very much Ferg, again, I really appreciate your feed back! I am happy to know that a well expereinced leather worker such as your self is pushing me in the right direction. I truely would like to carry on this form of 'ART" in hopes of one day inspirering others to do the same. There is definately something to be said about B.Parks work! It has certainly inspired me...I would have never know about any one his work if it was'nt for you ferg. Thanks!

Wishing everyone a good day. Comments please. http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/40b490df.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/P1020525.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/P1020526.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/P1020528.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/47ca85a1.jpg

Yes, thast is absolutely correct. Only the brown belt is tooled, the Black belt is embossed. What is the best way to finish the back side of a belt? Thanks for the feed back guys. Just to say, that these are the first leather projects i have ever worked on! And all critism is muc appreciated... Have a great day all. One more question...I am having trouble uploading pics as they are larger than 1.46mb? I am using a 12mpix cam. Any suggestions?

Thanks Ferg, I really appreciate the feed back. I know the prices are way off! What do feel the best price is for these peices. I will take a look BP's belts as well. Thanks again Ferg. Mike

Hi there Ray, thanks for the comment. No, unfortunately I did nt make the hardware. I purchased them from Tandy Leather.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to share a few pics with you guys to see what you think. Please comment. I would really be interested in your views on my leather work. Any tips would greatly appreciated. All the best and have a merry Christmas! http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Leather%20Belts/ http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Guitar%20Straps/ http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Growth%20Chart/

I just wanted to say hello to everyone! This is a new place for me to get involved and be part of a leather workers community. I must say that I am really excited to have registered and can't wait to exchange my thoughts and ideas with you. I should start by saying that this is an entirely new adventure I am on. I always had an artistic background carving in Soap Stone. I am 39 years old and specialise in working on historical houses in the city of Toronto. I like my work as it allows my work with my hands! Four months ago I attended the Winter Fair and found myself attracted to a booth selling cow hides. As I looked through them inotice to the right of me an older gentleman working his hammer and stamping tool on a piece of leather. I must have spent the better part of an hour and a half talking to him. At first, he was a little guarded with answers to the seeming endless amount of questions I had. It didn't take long befor he opened up like a river who's dam just gave out. I found myself walking away with a $65.00 starter kit. I won't for get looking down at it and shaking my head wondering what the hell I was doing? I'm like that, I'll start something, then it ends just as quickly as it began! Well, this time that was definitely not the case. It seems i have opened up a can of worms! To say the least. I have found a new passion that I am sure won't end any time soon! I suppose it would pointless to say that I am know needing someone, or more, people to help point me in the right direction... I have made several belts and guitar straps and would like to start selling them. I have absolutely no idea how to put a price tag on my work and would love to know how to do so. If anyone has time to take a peek at some of my work you can see it on PhotoBucket under Hammered Leather. http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/HammeredLeather/Leather%20Belts/a049ab00.jpg Thank you very much and please give me a comment and any tips.
