I started following this site over a year ago, and leather working for about a year. I finally have some projects completed and want to share with everyone. I'd say 90% of my time here is on my phone, I rarely use a PC. How do I post pics from my DROID?

I'm wondering what are some of your uses for pig skin, besides the normal lining. I came across some lots of 3-4 oz in different patterns and its very tempting.

Thanks guy's ! Really appreciate it. Im buying both!

Hi all, first time poster, and new to the leather field. Love this sight, tons of info, but I cannot seem to find the answer to this ... How do I lace or stitch a cylindrical or circular item? For instance... lets say I wanna wrap a piece of PVC pipe with leather to make a case for a fly rod. How do I lace the wrapped part to the circle part to make a solid base? And what type of stitching or lacing would anyone suggest for the length of the pipe? I first thought it would be easy to use a cross stitch , but found that was difficult. Would it look ok if I made a lip on both sides of the leather and just saddle stitched and burnished? Please help! Thanks
