  1. Tattooing leather is VERY challenging!

    1. firestormhcg

      Sure is. Takes lots of trial and error with different machines and needles. I've found sealing the leather with neat lac before tattooing helps a lot with the splattering and spread of ink.

  2. I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!

      Lightningad, FB is a fast paced environment and it is mobile. That's the appeal. But, Chancey is right. This is where MY roots are, and it's time to get back to business after Sheridan.

      There is a reason I prefer this site to any other..THE FOLKS HERE ARE THE BEST! Sure we have our reasons to post other places and our clicks have formed in lots of factions, but....THIS IS THE SPOT to really learn from and help others. THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS I AM GLAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY!

      I went with Ed's recommendations and have a 15 oz and 20 oz. It's hard to explain just why they are so special, they just are :-)and they look fabulous too!

  11. Does anyone use Cedar Oil here? It is pretty expensive at 36€ a quart so I am looking for some examples that people have used it on raw veg tan...I can't seem to find any examples.

      Put a pic in the leatherwork conversation section.

      Well as a general rule after doing some research it seems that cedar oil is thinned down with neatsfoot oil and wax to make a anti fungal oil:) so says the British museum:) so I guess a little bit goes a long way and that's why the high price.

      I got lots of cedar trees here........come squeeze all the oil out ya want!!!

  16. Just finished a VERY old Leather Desk Top replacement. That Was fun! Photos in Furniture for those intereasted in such things:) I found a real cool Italian leather Distressed shiny skin. Perfect combo for the age of the desk and overall color. Desk was told to be just over 100. But I don't know enough about desks to know:)

      I see the leather top resembles the burled drawer fronts. Was that a plan? Looks great!

    2. chancey77

      chancey77

      I am done. Nothing else needed to be done other than some light wood work and a new top:)

  17. Seriously TITLE, and TAG your gallery photos!!!! Google does find them on this site! YOU ARE LOOSING POSSIBLE CLIENTS AND MONEY IF YOU DON*T!!!

    1. ReneeCanady

      ReneeCanady

      I have found this out the hard way :(

    2. Cyberthrasher

      Cyberthrasher

      But you're working on it now :)

  18. When you upload Photos to your gallery...MAKE SURE YOU ADD TITLES..I.E.-What is it?? And add a description. It not only helps keep your work looking professional, but also allows web search of such items...so you can sell those items when people are looking to buy such things! Also, it helps the search in LW.net for people looking for the same things. It helps YOU, helps US and helps your possible FUTURE CLIENTS! Take the TIME and Add a Title, and Description and a few tags!

      Great advice! I have seen a few gallery pics in the past that had me scratching my head trying to figure out what it was. May be obvious to old timers but to newbies...not so much.
