Hellody, Just a quick intro thingy - only been registered for about 4 years, so it's probably time I did my first post I'm from Mount Tamborine, Australia(near the Gold Coast, but a much classier place). Been doing leatherwork as a bit of a hobby for a few years, originally started in Sydney, lurking around Birdsalls. Haven't really found a niche to fit into - I play with plaiting on occasion, bags and mainly small accessories. I do do a bit of carving, but I seem to drift more towards simple, unadorned items. I'm trying to do more of my own designs when I do carving. Anyway - a couple of photos of some of my recent(ish) work(some of it's better than others): Cheers!

Hiya! My partner has one of these and is a bookbinder. She loves it. She doesn't work with anything over 1mm kangaroo or goat though(about 2.5oz). Probably would work for thin garment leather too. I'm not sure if it has enough of a throat for the sizes of leather you're talking about either. Cheers!
