I have a question, a friend of us came with this seat. I never done anything like this before main is solo seats and belts. Guess this is more like a upholstery kind of thing.He would like to have 2 skull's on the top tooled with some basketweave. Do I have to use thin leather for the sides, because I think when 2 persons sit on it maybe the entire thing sinks to the bottom . Can I use thick leather on the top and thin leather on the sides? He would like to have also lacing to adjust the skull tooled parts to the sides. The bottom of it is with staples, but should I put the thing together first and then pull it over the seat, like some kind of cover or do I have to attach it somehow to the foam and lace it then. The big sofa is staring for me for a while now but I can't figure out how to make a start. Because it is the first time I make it for free but I don't want to damage the seat. Thanks, Nadine

Thanks all for the reply's. It is a great machine and I never get rid of it. I will try the heat shrinking tube first.

Finaly I have it working now, but it makes a long mark beside the stitches. I hope anyone can help me with a solution, maybe a other foot. I love this machine and the stitches look nice. I want to stitch bike seats with it.

Send a mail to the company and searched Ebay but no luck so far. So if someone has the set above for me and don't work with it, I would be more then happy to buy it from you.

Thanks! This is what I was searching for you made me very happy!

Hi, I am looking for a alphabet stamp set and press that cuts out the spaces but leaves the letters. I now it exist but I can't find it with my regular suppliers. Thanks! Nadine

Thanks!!!! It was exact that little tool. I will order it from Tandy.

I saw a movie on You Tube cutting straight double lines. They uses a little tool that was adjust to the swivel knife. Does anybody here now what I mean? Kind of a adjustment piece.

Beautiful!

http://www.hammerinhandcycles.com I bought a kit from them recently. It is a beautiful complete kit. I live in Holland and order more from the US, leather things, carparts and more but I realy was surprised of the good quality of this kit. The pan is beautiful, the leather is beautiful Hermann Oak, and you can mail them or call them for questions. It comes with a DVD, stamps, kangaroolace, dye.

It is a beautiful seat, I love the vintage look and the holes. Beautiful pictures to I love that look.

Yesterday bought a wallet pattern from them and it was send the same day. It looks nice and complete, friendly mail. I am happy with it.

Hi Martin, Last week I was in Belgium at this store: http://www.dierenhuiden.be/index.php?action=home〈=NL I saw a lot of exotic leather there, fish, ostrich and crocodile to.

Never saw it here in Holland of that brand, butI did make some liquid glycerine soap myself for burning the edges of the leather. Somewhere here I read it works better then tragant. It is simple, same weight soap and same weight distilled water, just grate the soap or cut very small pieces, let it soak overnight and then stir it gently, then you can put essential oils in or some Listirine. Listirine works great because of it's essential oils it works like a preservative and protect against fungus and molds, I just use the glycerine soap the same as I use for soapmaking also a hobby. You even can wash your hands with it.

That is beautiful!

Thanks Dwight I search but you find another topic then me.

Hi Shaun, I'm new to and I have did some practice with the Tandy kit and tools. I order some Barry King tools and I realy like them. There is a size list on his website http://www.barrykingtools.com/sizelist.htm for Sheridan work.

Doing lots of practice with tooling but I can't figure out how to make nice round corners on wallets. Is there a special tool for?

Beautiful I love the skull, did you use the white paint from Angelus?

Thanks for the reply. I don't have anything with bookbinding but there nice to keep and make beautiful again.

Together with my sewing machines this tools come with the same deal. Maybe somebody here can help me out and take a look what they are.

Beautiful, I like the wallet!

Hi, I'm Nadine and I live in Holland. I just started out with the leathercraft kit from Tandy. I want to learn leathercrafting and upholstery for cars. Just bought 2 sewing machines for leather and some old tools that were with the machines. Maybe somebody here at the form can tell me more about the tools. Thanks for looking, Nadine
