Watchband question
ericluther replied to ericluther's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
it looks to be 2 inches wide, and the buckle is on a seperate piece of leather, so Im fairly sure its not folded so do you think they just use inferior "glue"??? -
One of the main reasons I want to learn leatherworking is to make custom cuffs and watchbands, a friend had a store bought one and is made from two pieces of leather sandwiched together, it looks like one thick piece except where its started to seperate, my questions are why use two thin pieces instead of one thick one, and two if you do use two thinner pieces how would you avoid seperation issues if its not stitched? Thanks in advance Eric

very nice! thanks for the pic, I was wondering if there might be any books out there that explain the tools and there uses, I see certain pieces of work and tools and I'm trying to figure out what certain ones functions are. The stamps I know about thanks to some online tutorials and swivel knife but alot of the others Im a bit clueless about

Hey All I have a fine art background and am very excited about learning Leather working, my question is what do I need to begin, I would rather spend a bit more upfront to get quality tools etc than buying a "starter kit" I'm interested in motorcycle seats, boots, vests, and watchbands primarily. I know this may be an extensive list so I dont mind calling someone on my dime and writing it myself to save someone alot of typing. Glad to see the forum restored and thank you!!! Eric
