if im right....which im probably not, but i think he has used a resist method (using super sheene etc) and then gone over it with black highlighter. just a guess ;-)

thanks craftsman i will give them a try ;-)

hi everyone, im just about to get my hands on a spindle electric motor ,with the idea of using it to mount a polishing wheel and an edge slicker(not at the same time ;-) ) do i need to use a polishing compound on the wheel if so whats the recommended compound or will friction alone buff up my leather work? thanks guys ;-)

i bought one of the industrial knives from tandy, the one with the curved blade,it goes through like butter, best £30 i spent, also one of the black roofers squares is handy for squaring off,

thanks guys, thats been really helpful, i take it by pleated you mean a sort of gusset? i think i know the vid clip by ian,the cordovian one? i will get onto theidentity store and have a chat with kate ;-)

hi everyone. i need some advice on what thickness of leather to use for wallet making. heres some i have just sent to a friend in switzerland. the thing is, they are all very very stiff,and dont fully shut without assistance, and with the coin purse they are quite thick. i made them from 1.6-2.4 veg tan, i realise i should probably use thinner, but i still want to tool them, im not really quite sure what i need to do to make them....more usable ? i like to be able to put the coin purse in,as i think its a useful addition. any advice greatly appreciated as i have 2 more to make ;-)

thanks papaw, is there any particular polishing wheel to use or will any old metal polisher do?

hi everyone, is it possible to use something like this and convert it to a burnisher? and could i also use it for buffing with a polishing wheel?

hi everyone, im just on the finishing stage of this ipad cover, but im not sure when to use the black highlighter, i want to bring out the feathering,but also tone it all down a bit,should i use some eco super sheene now and highlight after 2 coats, or highlight now before the sheene, im never sure when to do this. thanks ;-)

hi guys, thanks, but i wasnt going to go for the moulded type i was thinking more on this line hope this helps ;-)
