    to late fifties!!

    Some are so fancy, they look like artwork and some even come outof the Harley assesories catalog

    from these days!!

    sewing and make me one just for the heck of it!!

    I get a lot of leather from Le Prevo in Newcastle in the North-East of England

    I have been a customer for over 25 years & they are a very helpful & friendly group of people

    I get some other supplies & certain saddlery hides from Abbey Saddlery - Knutsford

    Hope this helps if you are still looking

    As an aside, I keep trying to order from Kappey.de, but never have had them send me what I e-mail them about yet! (just a couple of tools & some questions about thier hand-awls as they do some very interestingly shaped handles that look as if they'd be very comfortable to use)

    ************************schnipp************

    hi jon

    if you need leatherstuff may you can order here (this is the shop from rene berends)

    kappey order his stuff here also !

    the toolingleather is from italy and a very good quality (but not cheap)

    Boesner in Munchen

    Weißer Grafik-, Reinzeichnungs- und Präsentationskarton, Stärke 1,4 mm,Format 50 x 70 cm. Sehr gute Planlage, spezialgeleimt, glatt,radierfest, klebebandfest. Sehr gut geeignet für Tusche, Bleistift,Marker und Airbrush. Der Karton lässt sich auch gut alsPassepartoutkarton einsetzen.

    I think this is the same as the Crescent brand hot pressed #202 illustration board. There was a artist supply store in Rosenheimer Platz also that had it but that was a long time ago that I was there. Hoped this helped.

    I am not sure if this is an appropriate thing but I will admit that I use the blue painters tape on the back of my leather and then glue it down. Then the glue comes off when I pull the tape off the leather. Don't use the regular masking tape though ( I learned! ) it doesn't come free as well as the blue stuff.

    here talks an old munichknower......

    boesner is a very good selected shop for all needs about art.... but he is very expensive

    and the shop in the rosenheimerstrasse ist still there....
