Thunder,,,, Was going to try some products from these guys,,,,, http://www.leatherworldtech.com/Leather-Furniture-Repair-Kits-s/1886.htm

Happy New Year leatherfans! I have leather furniture in my livingroom, is contemporary leather couch and love seat, Have any of yall ever refinished this sort of stuff? Is a cream color, still decent shape but has discolored from wear and some from mildew on the backs etc where they are against walls or other stuff. Was looking to try a spray on colorant to refresh the look. So any input is hugely welcome.

Way cool, really nice pieces What type of leather and weight?

@Ahni, Dont care what you stitch with, the stuff on your sites is awesome,,,,,

Nice shop bud,,,,

Ford But i like my JK even though its a POS Chrysler, just got to junk more stock psrts Must have been 90s models with that POS E4ODC6 and no prob

Its not worth doing things half way either is it

Thanks for the link to Warren, Excellent products

Thats pretty cool,, your lucky,,,

Am leaning towards going with AutoCAD myself, used it extensively for construction detail drawings and cabinet layouts, Vowed to never buy another windows based anything so is nice that they now make a version for MAC OS, AutoCAD to me is perfect, importing drawings, scaling, resizing, mirroring details and drawing elements, plus the compatability of output to most operating software used by CNC or Water Jet or Laser cutting hardware. AutoCAD LT is reasonably affordable for a professional design product, but it isnt for everyone, personally is easy as i can do both command line or key entry, but it can be tough to learn.

If its a pancake style holster they are all similar just vary in where the stitching falls

I know this post is old but going to try anyway,,,, When you made the wood rounder, Two pieces of wood clamped together then drill the holes? And what sort of hinge arrangement?

Really like the carving, Am wanting to draw some Celtic designs for phone covers and stuff

Somebody will be stoked on Christmas morning,,, Nice

Hope it was insured bud, is a bummer.

I dont think i can concentrate that well, got no valid excuse other than maybe some ADHD! Dude, you do great work regardless!

Could be put to good use on some politicians!And their employer

@Knight Cool beans bud, thanks for all the input, your stuff is real nice, and edgy, one thing nice about finding this site is how it opened my eyes to possibilities beyond gun leather and saddle work,

Thank you, I dont like the slots because they look busy, i guess the biggest concern is making sure the buckles cand damage the insturment, Am going to connect with some folks i know in the music biz and work some stuff up, custom straps are nice, seen some beauties and get inspired, i like yours, do you use airbrush for the coloring? Like on the red/white/black one,,,,

How do you get the color of raw leather to show through a finish? IE A strap with a stamped pattern, like a rope or border and letters, where the outlines show up the natural color and everything else is an antique or a dye,,,, Paint a resist into it carefully? Or? Im sure its simple or not, but cant find this info, most likely searching the wrong terms Merry Christmas

What do you find more popular, the buckle adjust or the slots?

Real nice, Can i ask, What presser foot and plate are you using? I recently got a 4 and only had the cash for the standard package, so now trying to figure out what accessories i will need. Merry Christmas

Ferg, Same here with tandy and beginnings, i remember getting my first tandy catalogue in the late 60s ordered off the back pages of a sunset magazine or something like that. Fast forward to a couple months ago and im re learning the craft and trade and am happy with almost everything i have gotten from Tandy, Being a carpenter and wood worker i know its not so much the material or tools, its what you do with them, ice cream out of dog shis

Beautiful work, inspiring!
