No dye, just oiled and sealed. -

Ipad sleeve needs to be thicker, it holds fine but needs to be sturdier. -

This piece of leather was awful, sliced and marked but was all I had so I used it and hid the worst of it with the pocket -

Lots of separate pieces to make this instead of a couple. Third project, no clue, no pre-design, designed as I went along. No dye used just super shene. -

Used a bag of scraps of 8oz I think. Very heavy. -

Freehand, wet moulded, no design cut out. Must get a bit organised and methodical in future. -

First ever project, with no tools and no clue. -
Thanks for the info on the arbour press Bigfoot. Do they need altering to make them accept hammering tools? I couldnt face starting again buying special tools for it. Looks great though!

Thanks so much for the lovely replies. I'll add some pics tonight though i'm not sure of the correct place to put them whether its the gallery or critique section. Its a bit embarrassing adding beginners pics when the stuff on here is outstanding lol.

Hiya, i'm not far from scotland :-) thats something i haven't tried yet! I was first using the tray with beanbag thing to begin with but found i couldn't get a decent 'whack' on it like when hitting on a table. I love using the granite slab but haven't tried the two together. Thanks! I'll give it a try :-)

Me too please!

Hi Paul, I've just joined too and live on your doorstep! Okay not literally that would just be creepy :-)
-
Hahaha, fair enough :-)

Hi silverback, can we swap? I spent a few months travelling australia top to bottom when i was younger and have missed the place ever since :-(

I can only hammer when the buildings empty. Buying a granite slab helped a bit but its still really noisy. I'm going for a poundo board next. I try to do the quiet bits like drawing, cutting and sewing when neighbours are home and then punching or tooling when theyre all out. Its a pain in the arse but i'd hate to live below someone hammering constantly :-)
-
Its so expensive starting out yet i can't stop myself :-) i made a wallet... Dunno why i have a feeling it'll be constantly empty :-)

Hi Everyone, I got into leather 3 months ago (i have no idea how it happened) and became immediately addicted. I've been arty and made things for as long as I can remember but nothing has caused instant addiction like leatherworking has! I've made a few cuffs, pouches, a bag, wallet, corset belts, holster, and had a few goes at tooling. Trying to learn a new skill with each thing i make. Its been a drawn out process so far as each project has been delayed while aquiring whichever tool was necessary to finish :-) after learning whatever the tool was called. I started out with zero knowledge and made things by guesswork but now i'm trying to learn correctly. Absolutely love it! Dont think my neighbours do though! :-/
