Lockeland Leather Works

Joey here from Lockeland Leather in Nashville, Tennessee - I promised myself I'd clean up the studio and organize before the end of the month, so here we are! As it goes, I've collected A LOT of hardware for projects over the years, with little use for them moving forward. I organized these into lots: Lot 1: Key Chain Hardware Lot 2: Trigger Snaps & Bolt Snaps Lot 3: Buckles & D-Rings Lot 4: Fasteners Most of the hardware is from BuckleGuy and has been stored in organized drawers. I feel these are priced fairly for the quality and quantity of each lot, so no negotiations unless you're interested in taking it all! I tried to keep everything organized and accurate - Check the spreedsheets for details. Email me at Joseph@LockelandLeather.com if you're interested! Stay tuned for leather! - Joey

Two photos attached here. I will take some better pictures in the daylight ASAP. Thanks!

The time has come for me to part with my Weaver Mighty Wonder. Even with my 25-ton hydraulic clicker, this machine was still a great help in the studio. Sadly, I need to clear space for some new equipment and the Mighty Wonder is taking up some much-needed space. This piece of equipment was a huge help in me taking my business to the next level. It's in great shape and has been well-maintained. I'm confident it has many, MANY years of good use ahead! Asking $2,500 and I would recommend picking up in Nashville, Tennessee, but I'm more than happy to hand this off to a freight service for crating and transport. I rarely visit this message board, so feel free to email me directly at info@lockelandleather.com with any questions! - Joey

Splitter & Skiver have both sold! Thanks for your interest!

Happy New Year! In an effort to make space in the studio I'll be parting with two pieces of equipment that have served me well for the last two years. Cobra Class 14 Splitter - $2,000 I picked up the blade this morning from my local knife sharpener, and reset the machine to accept the freshly sharpened blade. The Class 14 is splitter better than it ever has before and is ready to do some work! I'll be the first to admit this machine has its limitations, and though it's currently splitting soft goat skin down to .6mm, it may not be the best fit if your focus is finer leather work with softer leathers. It has been invaluable in splitting belt blanks and panels from which I would click smaller pieces. $2,000 Bell Knife Skiver - $1,000 This Bell Knife Skiver is a non-brand-name, Chinese produced machine, but nonetheless has been a valuable piece of equipment for the studio. The Skiving Machine is mounted on a standing-height table (20"x30") and perfect if space is limited. I've since upgraded the stone feed wheel to a rubber wheel, and the knife itself to a higher quality FAV replacement blade. All accessories from factory included, along with 30mm and 50mm presser feet. E-mail Directly at Joseph@lockelandleatherworks.com if interested. Buyer is responsible for pick-up in Nashville, Tennessee or shipping charges.

Only Olive Drab available!

I'm not sure of the specifics. Like Folie said, it may have been a cancelled order or overage. I visited the tannery a few months back and sorted through WC's "Odd Lots" and came across these sides. I had been looking for Olive for a long while and could pass up on these. They're gorgeous! You can visit my Instagram @lockelandleatherworks to see some projects I've used this leather on.

They are not. They we're a custom run for Coach.

Good afternoon, Guys! I have a handful of Wickett & Craig English Bridle Leather Sides in 3 / 4oz for sale. This leather was originally tanned for Coach and I purchased the lot when I was visiting the tannery earlier this year. I have limited quantity available in Olive Drab and English Tan. Some of the Olive Drab sides are slightly discolored around the edges, otherwise I would consider the majority of the sides to be rated as Standard & Utility Grade (According to Wickett & Craig Standards). I was really hoping to introduce these options into my collection, but I just moved into a new studio and would love to clear out some space and get organized, that said - Sides are sold as is. $150/Side + Shipping from Nashville, TN Free free to direct message if interested!

That's who I typically source from.. All out of .80 black!

Hello all, I have a project on the horizon for which I'll need .80 Black Tiger Thread. It seems that ALL of the resources I'm familiar with are out of stock. I've asked around, but haven't been able to find out what's going on with this. Anyway, I'd like a full spool, but 20-30 yards would suffice and probably hold me over until it becomes available again. Anyway, if anyone has any .80 Black Ritza Tiger Thread they'd be willing to sell, I'm your guy! I will also mention that I have a full spool of .80 Creme Ritza 25 Tiger Thread from which I used aproximately 5-10 yards if anyone is interested in purchasing that! Looking forward to your responses. Thanks! Also posted in Market place "Wanted."

Hello all, I just had a friend ask if I'd be able to recreate a leather key fob that her mother carried since she was a child and recently broke. There is some minor carving on the piece, which I do not do, and offered to reach out to see if there's anyone interested in helping out. Please let me know if you're interested and I can get you in touch with my friend. Thanks a lot, guys!

Thanks a lot, everyone!

Hello All, I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that I've finally launched my leather goods brand, Lockeland Leatherworks. Currently my collection includes only one wallet, The Ordway, a pocket notebook wallet, but I will be introducing new designs in the near future. If you guys are interested in taking a closer look you can check out my website - www.lockelandleatherworks.com - and follow me on Facebook & Instagram - @Lockelandleatherworks. This forum has been an invaluable resource for me as I progressed from a hobbiest to pursuing this endeavor. Thank you all very much! - Joe

Thanks a lot for the input, everyone. I really appreciate your help!

Hello all, I'm about to finalize my logo and will be purchasing a stamp or brand. I've been doing some research on my own, but thought it would be a good idea to ask for some recommendations from you fine folks. Still trying to decide between a stamp or brand. The logo will have some fine detail found in small embellishments that I want to make sure will be evident in the final stamp. I will be stamping or branding on both veg tanned and chrome tanned leathers. Just looking to collect any information you'd be willing to lend and recommendations and experiences with stamp/brand suppliers. Thanks a lot! Look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.
