hi jcuk, i have found the eco flow water based dyes pretty good, and the fiebings dyes are lovely,if a little bit messy, to seal colour, you can use a number of things, ecoflow super sheene, resoline, tancoat, to name a few, personally when doing belts, i leave the roughside natural and give it a good coat of neatsfoot oil, and the dyed side i use aussie leather balm, on 3-3.5mm veg tan ,the 2 together give the belt a loely supple feel, and as yet i havent had any complaints about bleed. regarding the tandy leather, personally i have found the identity store provide a nicer quality leather than tandy,thats not to say what your enquiring about isnt any good, just personal experience hope this helps :-)

really like this :-)

Hi everyone, i recently had a very positive exchange with a customer on etsy,who bought one of my other line of belts, he expressed an interest in a ranger style belt,but tooled ,and with a buckle set of his choosing, so i thought it would be a good idea to have a practise at this style of belt,just in case the customer did come back one day :-)

hi everyone thanks for the comments, i posted this a while ago, and have a piece of advice to "give "now :-) i was told to start stitching from the middle and work up to the top,then go back to the middle and restart a new stitch and work up the opposite side,however,the one i use the most,is to just measure round the outside edge and add and inch or so and then trim it to length afterwards. :-)

hi everyone, its been a while since i posted on here, so heres a choice item from the uploads i did today. a very big thank you to all that have given advice ,
