Welcome...Your English is better than my German! You will learn alot here.

Amazing work!!

Welcome! Nice work! Good luck with your new store.

That's a beautiful belt! I love the buckle too!

Beautiful work!!

Thanks for the comments...Very intense carving and stamping....does anyone else adjust your patterns or drawings to accommodate a better end result? I felt in areas that were tight I could have changed it slightly to make it better. Just curious and wondering how you go about doing it.

Next seat in line for a customer in the Air Force. Not sure what the dyes will be on this one.

Bag punch? Or Oblong punch? I've not seen one with the diamond shape.

Huh, interesting knife! I think I might hurt myself mincing with that!

Has anyone ever seen one of these? I just bought it. You fill the cup on top with eyelets and they automatically line themselves up. All you do is press the handle.

Here's how I do it...I make the bottom first with appropriate holes... glue it to the bottom of the pan...then I cut a top just a little bit larger....if you need to form it, do it....while it's wet I clip it all the way around with office clips...I let it dry... one clip at a time I take one off and mark each hole through the seat bottom holes so all are marked...I also draw around the bottom to make the exact pattern for the top then cut off excess....then I punch the holes. I know others have different and maybe better ways than me. If I have a photo I'll post it. Good luck

Very nice...I like the color you chose!

Spectacular...love the geometric design!

Very nice!

I've never dyed embossed leather but I would think dyeing the gray all over and spray on the black around the edges would work best. Good luck!

Spectacular!! Beautiful!! Perfect!! What else can I say?!? I want to see your first one!

Just tried out my new assortment pack of Cova Color! I think I'm going to like 'em! Very easy to use.

Beautiful! I love the first one....perfection!

Excellent comments on the technique AaronR!

Welcome! It will be interesting to see what you come up with for a designed piece. Post some photos when you get started.
