Hi Everyone Is there anywhere in the UK where I can buy high quality hardware for purses and bags? Such as closure hardware. Instead of having to buy from American or Italian suppliers! I've looked at the usual suppliers such as Tandy Leather UK and other suppliers. But I'm not finding anything unique on these sites or quality. Many Thanks VRSDesigns

Hi Steve Thank you for the welcome! Regards Rahul

Hi Rick Thank you for you're message.

Joe/Tom Thank you for you're feedback. Practice is something that will play a major part. But all the little tips and hints I am finding useful Thanks

Thank you ConradPark & WalletMan for you're replies, greatly appreciated. The Leather I'm using is very thin, I don't know the right term for it but I think it's pre treated. No colouring or wax finished required. I do think I'm trying to be perfect with it, with no margin of error. Fault of my previous job were everything had to be perfect with no margin for error. On the tool side I've brought a straight blade knife just this morning, as I think all the safety features on rotary blade might be getting in the way. I will implement the suggestions you have both made for which I'm thankful allowing me too get over this slight stumble. Cheers

Hi Jo Hope you're well! Thought I'd come say hi! Good to find people in the UK that are into the leather work. From the North East, new to leather work. Trying to work my way through beginners frustration. But will hopefully get there. Any advice you might have would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks Ray

Hi All I thought I'd say Hello to all! New to this forum and look forward to my time here. Need to ask one question in the "How to" forum I have posted a forum post. But it has posted itself three times slight technical difficulty on my side. How do I delete two of the three posts as I have tried without any joy? Thanks

Hi All I'm new to leather working and I am having a slight problem when cutting. I am noticing that one of the corners is a mm or so out when cutting. I have tried using a fiskars rotary cutter with a steel ruler. On one of them green self healing cutting mats. Could I be using the wrong tools and surface to cut on? I would appreciate and advice and guidance anyone can share with me! Thanks
