Yep, that's all I did. On the picture the finish is already applied.

Thank for you help guys. I let it dried and then dyed it again. result is pretty good.

Sometimes I get these spots when dying the leather and I'm not sure why, how can I improve the dying process to avoid this?

Thanks I will try that foam rubber first as it is cheaper.

Good idea but by now this is just a hobby so I always try to find the cheapest solution.

The guy I buy the tools from sell a thick piece of rubber (about 10cm) for punching, would that work also to reduce noise?

I will use it only for punching, tooling isn't loud I can make it on a desk.

Thanks, I will try that.

what if I put the slab directly on the floor on the balcony?

Hello, thank you. Do I have to put a piece of something underneath the leather to avoid damaging my tools?

I live in the 2 floor of a building and I'm worried about the noise I make when I use the hammer, is there any tip to reduce noise?

Thanks for the tip, I will try to find pearl glue around here.

Hello everyone. I was looking on internet on how to seal the edge of a leather piece and having learned already about burnishing I was looking to some other style I've seen on some leather stuff, like a gum effect. I speak spanish so I google in spanish and I came across an argentinean company that produce something they called sealant (see the video below) Question: Do you know another products that works like this one? These guys only sells in argentina. https://youtu.be/Yx7XvzEfmXY

Let me in please.

That's a good point Michelle, I'm new to leather working so I have no idea about thread durability.

Well I tried on a strap, not yet perfect but I think I am on the right path. Will try again with some better thread as this one gets dirty easily.

Hello, I made a new strap and tried what you said. Thank you. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks a lot for your advices. I will try these method on the straps I'm making now. I will also remember the verb "to melt". I swear.

Hello, I'm new to leather work, I already made some straps but I'm having trouble on how to end a stitch. I've seen that burning the thread and adding pression is a method but when I do it it gets dirty. How would you do it? Here's a strap I've made. The stitching gets dirty when I burn it.

I was wondering how to make these kind of decoration. I understand it's all about making the holes on the right place and then begin the threading but do I have to apply some glue so the threads don't moves?

Hello there, I'm new here and new to leather world. I started about 2 weeks ago by buying leather and tools I wanted to make watch straps. So here are my first work ever. Any advice is welcome. Leather
