What types of products are you making? Accessories for those figurines, or larger scale items? I'm interested but I would need more information, AC is a two hour ride for me. Thanks, Keith

Wouldn't you want your top piece smaller? I tried in another post to get answers on this and a couple of people said my top piece was too big, and I should subtract the thickness of the leather from the original circumference.
-
Very very nice mike! How do you calculate your measurements for the pieces? The seat I just finished came out a little wrinkly at the end of lacing.

Please draw the solution, I'm lost! Creepy? Ya think? Its a bar stool for a biker, so creepy works well!

I made both top and bottom the same, bottom came out smooth, but not top, I think it has to do with the added padding, but I'm not sure why. My side piece was cut to the exact measurement of the circumference.

I got wrinkles on the last bit of lacing, seat turned out great until the last ten holes! All holes were equal. What gives? https://db.tt/8FrJpa16 https://db.tt/8FrJpa16 https://db.tt/xKHRq9Dx

Look up the Leather hut in Brooklyn, they sell some decent hides, no veg tan though. As far as tools go I haven't a clue. I'm only 45 mins from CS Osborne in Harrison NJ and I still pay$ 30 in shipping!! Figure that out.

How much for all of them?

Your work is absolutely gorgeous no matter rookie or not, its the meaning that counts. At a time like that no one should judge any imperfections of your work. In my honest opinion it looks great, and i would pay top dollar . My condolences, Keith

Could you pm me as well im interested! Thanks, Keith -
Check ebay, there are a lot of stores with printed hides, i use leatherhut in Brooklyn because im close to it. I search leather hides or veg tan then save all the sellers who sell what i like. Im sure most will custom color your leather.

I think you mean boiled linseed oil, there's another post on here somewhere about a waterproofing paste with beeswax, turpentine, and boiled linseed oil. Search YouTube for waterproofer there's also a video.

A couple light coats of olive oil is what I prefer on veg tan leather, as for the edges what exactly do you mean by sealing. Check out the pinned article on finishing edges.
