King's X

You can start with the Basic 7 tool set. Master all of them and go from there, one tool at a time you can upgrade to a Barry King or Clay Miller. You can always get the tool numbers off of the basic 7 set and do your own search on ebay for them individually. Depends on much work you put into it, you may come out better then expected. I would suggest you pick a project, start small and go from there. Learn as much as you can about leather, tools, processes , finishing and so forth before you take on any big project. This forum helped me so much at the beginning and I try to share in return. I cannot tell you how much guidance is stored on this site, but like anything you will have to put the time to look, read and find it. If done right, you will spend hours on this site before picking up a piece of leather. As always, remember to share you photos, your questions and by all means a small contributions to the site administrators to help them offset the costs to run this site. Good luck! Sam

I could see one of those baby swivel knife key fob for my collection.

Welcome to a new hot market. i wish you well in your new endeavor.

If you have BK's, I would just stay the course. I do not know about SL tools, but Barry King tools are unbeatable.

That is very cool! Nice work.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Hola....desde Centro Tejas!

Hello Bagga and welcome to the forum. Nice work you show there.

Very cool!

To tighten down the leather.

Great work!

Here are my three older ones that I have been using for many years. I recently made a new one.

I use it after applying my antique as a top coat. After it dries, I buff it. I have never really noticed that it darkens my leather. Thanks for letting me know.

Very nice work. My first pony was made from Red Oak. Good luck with that bolt to tighten the clamp down.

Hello Mike.....and welcome to the forum!

I purchased your #237/238 when you first started posting them for sale. They have a slot in my ready tool block and travel with me. Great tools!

Hello Troy and welcome to the forum!

Wow!

Hello ZD and welcome to the forum!

Thank you for sharing your pattern and hard work.

I stick to plain dye. I have found the edge coat to be too messy for me.
