  1. congrats. share the pics
  2. cool
  3. it doesn't give any idea of dimensions - there is no ruler on the pic, no measerments etc.
  4. you have started the topic with 'hard to get' and not with 'i don't have a budget to buy'
  5. true and people should be alarmed that the bottler(reseller) don't follow some necessary preparations while re-bottling
  6. agree with JLSleather if it solves the issue, why not spent 28 bucks? ) 28/100=0.28$
  7. sense of logic - carving/tooling (if those required) comes before dying and before attachment to other parts (interiors, etc) why? if you mess up with the coloring, while for example exterior(outer) part is glued/sewn to interior/body/piece, then you waste time, materials etc not exactly - depends on dyes, leather type - vegetable leather will always change it's structure when dyed, even if it is 1" thick
  8. everything is covered in Al Stohlman's books
  9. keeping the veg natural leather in the room without direct bright sunlight will also cause oxidation
  10. horween chromexcel have no competitors ask directly at tannery raw or get seconds at maverick
  11. did you use 2 layers?
  12. a two leather pieces of the same length that have been glued together will cause wrinkles when bend - either outside or inside the other thing is whether you received a new one with the wrinkles already on it or you got them after wearing..
  13. https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=653&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=eWtHXZ6ECZLyau2wnrgJ&q=Mooring+Ring+&oq=Mooring+Ring+&gs_l=img.12..0i30j0i5i30j0i24l3.202071.202071..203030...0.0..0.156.156.0j1......0....2j1..gws-wiz-img.GSWzeI_81Ag&ved=0ahUKEwjepKW9sOrjAhUSuRoKHW2YB5cQ4dUDCAY
  14. smth similar https://www.pethardware.com/en/other-fittings/k-plate-1171/ alternative
  15. 30 bucks for 200gr bottle is not a good deal while having cheaper alternatives from recognized brands
  16. yes. especially depends on dye type (water based, oil, spirit) spirit and oil evaporate
  17. when did this started realize less consistency? I will share why I ask after your answer )
  18. good entry/practice/tests/ even project purpose
  19. don't see any reason for hammering stitches. fredk is right not exactly. you have to fit the tools/materials being used - groovers, thread, even needles
  20. videos like this are ok to watch. but new comers will have questions you didn't covered neither in video nor in text. there should be a message.
  21. why? what you think is the cause?
  22. why? you are in EU. Tannery is also in EU - you pay taxes while moving materials from one EU country to another??
  23. huh?
  24. depends on projects. share some pics and more details pull up is a different leather type
  25. simple. practical. couple of hours in garage
