Skiving the suede. Cut out the body from a really nice piece of purple leather I have. YinTx© YinTx

I started on a new project yesterday, so I thought I'd post some progress photos as I went along to keep me moving. If I'm making obvious mistakes along the way, feel free to say something! Positive comments welcome too, as always. Yesterday, I cut the body for the project from purple leather. I'll line it with chocolate suede. Discovered skiving suede makes for weak edges, so I had to make abrupt short skives. Anyone have experience with this or better suggestions? Also started with Chocolate dye on some veg tan pieces. Treating the leather today. YinTx

From the album: Stitching Practice
Ok, file this under yeah, you can, but should you? Just wanted to see the range of a sizeable awl made from very old German steel. Top thread is Cambell Randall brown linen thread, done with a Vergez Blanchard awl, so disregard. Second row is 0.6MM purple Tiger Ritza 25 thread, at 5 stitches per inch, marked with an overstitch wheel. Third row is 1.4MM Yellow Tiger Ritza 25 thread, at 5 stitches per inch, marked with an overstitch wheel. Definitely needs a larger hole! Bottom row is about a 1MM Ashley industries braided machine thread. The awl has a gradual taper, so fairly easy to control hole size. YinTx© YinTx

If this is your first attempt, I am duly impressed. I have a request for one, but have been daunted, and so have only made a poor attempt so far, and it is in the bin. Congrats on a pretty nice piece! YinTx -

Thank you so much for the compliments. My picture may make it a bit on the pink side, but in person it is really red red red. For contrast, the top zipper tape is pink. But maybe I'll find some pink leather and make another like it.... should be cool! YinTx -

Definitely something to be proud of! I can see a lot of work went into that. Well done! YinTx

I guess the main part I was wondering about was the fact that the pricking irons in the photos from my post are made in China, and appear to be an exact replica of the Blanchards, minus the branding mark. I think they are claiming theirs will not rust as the Blanchards do. Thought perhaps this was the source/manufacturer for the Kyoshin Elle irons, as I got to this (Chinese) web page by following links on GoodsJapan's web site. YinTx

I am looking for some used European style pricking irons, 7 stitches/inch and 10 stitches per inch, not too particular on which, and would consider other sizes if the price is right. If you are looking for other tools or leather, perhaps we could work a trade. (I have caimen, ostrich pieces, veg tan, chrome tan, many tools) PM me if you have some you would like to be rid of!

Finished Another Archery Arm Guard
YinTx replied to dhaverstick's topic in Archery Quivers and Bow Cases
Dhaverstick, I can see you put a lot of thought and design into this. Very unique, and a lot of detailed work. I do wonder if it is useable in terms of having the bowstring hang up on any elevated details? I look forward to seeing what else you create! YinTx -
Tugadude, Thanks for the comments. Yes, I would have liked to have added pockets, etc. but the request by the customer was simple and clean, good thing since this was my first purse! BTW, the dye was Fiebeng's Chocolate, reduced like 8:1 reducer:dye. Thread was Ashley Industries Mahogany braided polyester. YinTx -
Now those are cool. Very well done as well. Thanks for sharing! YinTx
