  1. helle I am trying to find item in photo looks to be 1" I have looked under conchos thinking that is what it is with no luck, anything I find close to it does not have the hole in the middle & is half the size. any help would be wonderful & where to find to buy would be appreciated.
  2. @fredk k worth trying if need more help will ask encase did something wrong or could of done better. last time I dyed I started on the edges, so starting in center might be better will give it a try.
  3. what kind of airbrush
  4. hello everyone, what is the best way everyone found when dyeing a large piece of leather. think is little over 1 foot and half to 2 feet? other item looking to dye would be 3 to 4 feet long once get made. has anyone dipped leather into the dye, if so what is best to use like a plastic bucket?
  5. hello I have some undyed vegetable leather, got cut and tooled, to me feels stiffer now. my questiion is what can I use to soften before i dye? I read can use mix of rubbing alcohol with vaseline, mink oil or neatsfoot? what does everone use or find works best, for hoping not to darken leather.
  6. @DieselTech thank you very much
  7. great work
  8. made a leather card holder for a friend for christmas, different to what was going to do. leather did not want to allow me to transfer image, even when I tried cutting into leather was hard to see the lines with the fuzz part so just make outline stincel traced out before adding all the detailing in by hand.
  9. hello all tryed my hand at a making a freind a leather birthday card, along with a home made box. any thougts how to make better? after seeing some peoples work thought maybe should of matted around the letters but, only after was fully done, not sure if would damage the letters if I did matting.
  10. hello I am looking to make another hat and before I do wanted to get some tips so asking more questions, for last time I dyed my hat got streaks, from using the daubers. so now I wanted to ask what is a better way of dyeing to avoid streaks and get one solid color? should I put dye in a bucket and dip into the dye asking for those that have done it? what about getting the leather lightly damp where it just turns brown, so does not absorbed as much dye not sure who has done that? any thread best or can i just at leather thread? when punching holes for stitching what is best way to keep track of the holes for I normally punch holes I juch cound how many times I do puch with the leather stich tool & want to see if might be better way? also for sealing leather seams what is best to use, could I use mink oil or what do you recoment for not sure if should look at even using wax something I have never done so not sure kind of wax to use if would do that. should I want leather to keep shape any tips should I stich together, wetten lightly & bake the in the oven, ithen dye the leather? f so how long and what temp? any other tips? also if wet molding some areas what is best way to keep the shape if not on edge of leather like you might do some folding/bends on a leather mask yet keep shape? anyother tips you can recomend to try let me know please. thanks again to all for your help is nice to get help as one makes things or how to do better.
