    It is not possible to get complete penetration when you dye leather yourself.

    I dont see dip dyeing as a good way of dyeing big pieces of leather..At least not for me. Putting a 50x25" piece of leather into a container big enough to hold the leather as well as 5-10 liters of dye is not something I want to try. Would you seriously dip dye that big of a piece?
  5. AndersenLeather
    People always recommend dip dyeing or spraying when dyeing big pieces. I have never seen a picture of anybody actually doing this with a large piece. I dye pieces that are 50x25" using this method: Dyeing big pieces with good results. I would love seeing somebody trying to dip dye that big a piece. Also I would not want to dye the flesh side of the leather as it would soak up so much dye! I dont think it is possible to get a perfect even color on a big piece of leather as the leather does not take in the dye evenly. I dont think this matters as it adds character to the leather and shows that its actually natural product. If you want a almost totally even color then you need to buy it pre dyed.

    I actually do have setter and I bought it to fit the 2mm rivets. I tried it in the past but I cant seem to get it to work. It seems to big. You can only hit it straight from the top. If you are a little off the tool touches the base plate and makes circular marks. Am I doing it wrong or is the setting tool too large?

    Hi, I need to secure this lock with rivets: http://www.abbeyengland.com/Store/tabid/77/CategoryID/201/Category2ID/110/List/1/Level/2/ProductID/69334/language/en-GB/Default.aspx The rivets is 2mm in diameter As you can see on the pictures the hammer is not able to go all the way around the rivet which makes it hard get it properly set. Does anybody have any good advice?

    What kind of tray would you use to dip dye that big a piece?

    As the title says. Is it possible to make gold initials without having an embossing machine? What I want to achieve is something like this:

    I used 3mm and 1,5 mm shoulder from metropolitanleather. I dyed it myself. Thanks

    It only depends on what look you want. Choose what you like the most

    This is how I do my edges http://andersenleather.blogspot.com/2015/10/burnish.html?q=burnish This is the inside of a similar bag

    That is a really nice briefcase. 2-2,2mm doesn't sound like much but it looks like it holds its shape without any problems. I like that it has a news paper pocket. The stitching and edges looks flawless. The leather for the partition board is skived to the same thickness as the gusset? The accordion gusset looks nice but I guess it is only for show as there are no extra holes in the straps? Where do you get your leather from?
  18. AndersenLeather
    Thank you very much for the kind words
  19. AndersenLeather
    Ahh I see. That is great. I wish similar options were available in my country.
  20. AndersenLeather
    Yes 3,5mm for the gusset would be way too thick. What kind of splitter did you use?

    Why don't you take a look at ebay? There are many extremely cheap stitching chisel and they are really not that bad. Shipping is free but it will take a while for it to arrive. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=craft+Hole+Punche+Lacing+Stitching&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xstitching+chisel.TRS0&_nkw=stitching+chisel&_sacat=0

    Can you tell a little about the quality? Do you have something you can compare it against?
  25. AndersenLeather
    Yes they stitch through the loop. It is the normal way of sewing a belt. se how its is done here: Also in case you did not notice you have caps lock on. Please turn if off
