has anyone on the forum ever made any leather braces i think in the US you call them suspenders

i come from sheffield england the once home to steel and cutlery now days theres not much of the industrey left .its a good place to live , i live just down the road from the manor lodge where mary queen of scots was held in captivity till she was took to london and beheaded

sent for the Tandy press this morning so i suppose i will be waiting in anticipation like a kid waits for Christmas

years ago i bought a leathercraft kit out of the EXCHANGE & MART did the wallet put the kit away ,then sometime later i wanted a holster for my vaquero 45 long colt (before the gun ban in the uk) went to order one but they man on the phone said it would cost more if i wanted one left handed ???? so i got some leather and book of holster patterns and made my own .im not good at leatherwork as such but i enjoy making dogware, belts etc but since being on this forum i want to learn to do more things in the art of leathercraft

the car boot season starts next week so i will be on the look out for leather craft tools i have had some good buys in the past cantell pliers, old saddlers hammer i paid £10 for them 3 stitch wheels £1 apiece

i think some of the concoctions they used for staining leather would merit a visit from the anti terrorist squad

just been looking at an old book that i have THE ART &CRAFT OF LEATHERWORK by C FRANCIS LEWIS published in 1928 some interesting things in it

im from sheffield england i have made a few dog harnesses etc but since being made redundant i look forward to getting more involved with leatherwork as well as spending more time with the grandkids the work i have seen on this forum is outstanding

you hear about a lot of old skills being lost all i can say is anyone who believes that ought to come and look at the work on this forum

i bought a old staffy harness took it apart and used it as a guide
