jock54, i am really disappointed at the lack of reply by so many people on this forum, after a new message is posted. I am wanting to find anyone, anywhere, on this forum, who maybe interested in earning some money for the sale of good leather buckles. Maybe, disappointed is not the right word, surprised, does anyone have a reason why, there are many members, and yet so few replies. Would someone like to comment, please, i look forward to meeting and talking on the forum with any anyone? Have a great day/night. jock54.

Leatherpownder, this is Jock54 from Australia, i have been looking carefully at your rawhide reins, what a magnificent piece of finished leather work. I have not seen another piece like that ever before anywhere in Australia. I make leather belts and hatbands, using kangaroo lace, when i learn to put them on the web you can check them out. Would you be interested to sell one set of those reins to me, i take it you have finished working on them. I sell my leather goods here, at local markets, Agricultural Shows, and Horse Campdrafts. I am sure they will sell pretty quickly here in my State of Queensland, where i live in the country. Thanks for showing the reins. Hope to see a reply soon. Kind Regards. Jock54.

Hi Timothy, this is Jock54, from Warwick, Queensland, Australia. I have been plaiting kangaroo leather lace for the last four years. I make lots of leather plaited belts, hat bands, with turks-head knots, this allows you to adjust the band to the size of the hat, usually a cattlemans hat in Australia. I also plait dog and cat collars, and dog leads. The hat bands, I plait them flat or round. When I make a belt for a customer, to find how much leather lace is needed so that it is not short, I need to get their waist size, for example, I am 40inches, add another 6 to 10 inches, that makes 46inches, then multiply 46x3=138inches. That means each strand of lace will be 138inches long, or 11feet 6inches. I use this formula for plaiting all my belts, and it works every time. When I have time, I will put some photoes up of my leather belts and things. I f there is anything else I could help you with, just contact me, I am a member of leatherworker.net.

My interest in leather is plaiting, waist belts, hat-bands, dog and cat collars, dog leads, and I use kangaroo leather lace, only the best quality. I advertise with leatherworker.net also. I hope to start learning how to hand and machine stich leather soon, with a saddler, thats what we call them here in Australia. I have been plaiting for about four years, but there is so much to learn. Recently, I taught myself how to tie turks-heads knots, it took me about five hours to work them out.
