    ah would love it but a bit far for me I'm afraid! If there are ever any nearer the border or up in Scotland I'd be up for it. As you say, can't please everyone. Good luck

    Thanks that's really helpful! I'll be buying an arbor press soon and this is a must-do for me
  6. Half Goat
    Did your press come with the chuck, or did you modify this yourself?
  7. Half Goat

    Hi folks, I want to know what tools you can't live without, or tools you think you need? Where to get the best deals, or useful tips? The reason I ask is because I have been doing this for years, and have a fair set of tools which I make-do with. However my local council has just given me a substantial grant to invest in tools to expand my business, so I'm replacing all of my tools with better quality ones and buying those I have wanted for some time now. I would love some recommendations I'm not a beginner who needs the basics, I'm looking for more advanced tools to step-up my game. All opinions, recommendations, and advice is welcome Hamish

    nice work! where abouts in scotland are you? I'm fae Aberdeen but living down on the borders the now

    Thanks for this thread, what a big help! I found I had more selection when I lived briefly in England, but now I'm back in scotland my options are limited. I primarily use LePrevo as I'm only 2 hour drive away so it's nice to buy in person and have a chat, and will order the occaisional thing elsewhere when they don't have it. Would love a decent supplier in Scotland! Will be keeping an eye on this thread

    I'm in Scotland just on the border and the closest I have is LePrevo in Newcastle, or the Identity Store in Matlock, Derbyshire

    Hey need some advice folks. I have been asked to make a large leather picture frame which will be mounted onto a perspex cover Can anyone recommend a good adhesive that will bond leather and perspex successfully? any advice would be great thanks Hamish
  21. Half Goat
    how much work do these need to make them decent? would a good strop do the job?
  22. Half Goat

  23. Half Goat

  24. Half Goat
    i don't think so. stamp maybe, but not tool. give leprevo a phone they are great help i use them exclusivly for advice aswell as their leather
  25. Half Goat
    this keeps happening to me, i have tried various methods and different leathers but it is still happening. I have tried when the leather has just dried, and i have waited an extra hour before tooling with the same effect nightmare! I am using a b60 beveller and when i tool the lines it all looks fine, but an hour later it cracks or peels. I guess i need to just wait longer to begin tooling?
