Heres a logo I came up with for my leatherwork I'd love some feedback on it. Also any advice on a good makers stamp maker. Thanks! Eric

ok there are a bunch on there will any of these sew leather? wallets, gun holsters, etc heres a link http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/search/sss...&maxAsk=max Thank you!!

I found this on my local Craigslist, will it sew leather and if so how thick?? Im trying to pick something up I can afford Thank you Eric Singer model # is AJ852882

looks awesome, I love the use of the dye, well done!! Eric

Daune, thanks for the response!! You've really given me something to strive for man, the way you incorporate your art into leather was something I had envisioned doing with my own artwork but hadn't actually seen till coming across your site, well done!

I agree on the height my dad wanted it that way so he could grip the handle to pull it out better,, we turned the holster upside down with the gun in it and it stayed put but I guess time will tell lol, the stitches are in a channel and the area inside of all stitching was super glued.

Hey ray, Thanks for the response, I did case it althought I'm not sure if it was done correctly, I used a sponge to wet the front and back then made my cuts, taped it then did the tooling, I don't believe I wet it again after taping, should I have? And do I let the color return almost to normal like when cutting?? Also this was a crappy piece my cat had scratched up lol I didn't think it would turn out well so I used it Thanks!! Eric

Hey all made this for my dad, its my first attempt at making a holster, made the belt also. any critique and comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Eric

I have one that looks like the one on the left except it is perfectly smooth on the face. Thanks again!!!!

Thank you Tom! bite the bullet and check out his site, one of my faves is the crest on the seat with the wood and crown, amazing!!

thank you Kate!!, how would I achieve the sharper edges etc?? using what tool? I'm pretty clueless, I got a whole bunch of tools off eBay and have no idea how to use most of them correctly, I do know the names, just not totally sure the correct way to utilize them

Thank you Kate!!

This is one I am workin on, this was my frist attempt at tooling and could really use some critique and pointers. I have a little more sewing to do and I will post finished photos tomorrow.

I'm new to leatherwork, and tooling especially, but come from a fine art background and his work just really struck a chord with me, I was just blown away. I like the style alot! Heres a crappy cell phone photo of my first tooling attempt on a wallet, any critiques would be appreciated

oops sorry!!! I thought I included it http://www.dbcustomleather.com/

like what kind of tool did he use to get that round edge on everything? or what did he use around the edges to make it stand out?? is block dyed mean he cut it out of wood and pressed it??? sorry Im clueless on tooling lol

I saw this guys work and was blown away, how would I achieve this look? I am new to tooling, but do understand the basics. this is his website, some truly amazing work I thought. Eric

well great job!! and congrats on the baby!!

Andy that thing is SAWEET!! I've been wanting to make one for myself. Did you habd sew it or a machine? and if so what kind?? Thanks and great work!! Eric

I'm into making cuffs and cuff watches, I dig yours alot man great job!!!!

Thanks guys! the buckle came with the tools I got off eBay, its a belt buckle but I thought it was cool, and I dig the "clunkier" styling

ok guys and gals due to popular demand here is my first watchband, its simple but keep in mind its only the 2nd thing I've made, the first being a plain cuff. critiques and comments are encouraged and welcomed. and yes I did use a snap instead of a loop for the "tongue" Eric

I need some lace for some cuffs and watchbands Im making, and I'm not quite sure what I need, I got some 1/8 latigo lace from a local craft store and while its the correct width, it seems "rough" and it seems too thick, compared to ones I've seen on the forum. I could be wrong about it seeming too thick but when I tried lacing the edge of a cuff it looks overly bulky. Thanks for any info!! Eric

Hey Ryan, nice website and very nice leatherwork! I agree with some of the other guys, overall very easy to navigate, but larger photos, and price ranges would be nice. Eric

thanks for the info guys!!
