Hi, if you prefer an EU based craftsman, I'm from Italy and I think I can make what are you requesting, so please send me an email to discuss about it at fattidicuoio [at] gmail [dot] com Thank you Francesco

Thank you for your reply. Another question about the knife: is the ceramic blade from Elle as well or is it a Tandy blade? my compliments again

Excellent work, I really like it! I think that brass hardware or "vintage" (worn) look steel could help the final look. just my thought p.s.: a question: what swivel knife is that?

you can take a plier and remove the second prong!

Hi I can do them as well, I have another shape in mind we can discuss, if you prefer a EU based leatherworker, I am from Italy, so please get in touch if interested: www.fattidicuoio.it

Hi, I'm interested too, I'm an Italy based leatherworker. If this sounds ok for you, please send me a PM or contact me at: fattidicuoio [at] gmail [dot] com so we can discuss it. Thank you Francesco

Thank you yes, it's hard enough to use as valet, I don't mean use to carry glasses of wine... It's wet formed

Hi all, this is my last piece, it's a tray (useful also as table centerpiece) made with veg tanned leather (shoulder), 3mm thick, hand tooled and dyed. Measure 33x33x4 cm Thanks for looking

thank you all for suggestions and ideas, very much appreciated all ideas are good alternatives (velcro, mechanic, etc.) that I will take in consideration, but first I want to try to find a classic buckle that is made in a material that is not metal. Ohio doesn't have it. If I will not find that, I will propose my friend those alternatives, so please don't stop

thanks for the reply. I think that titanium has the same problem as other metals (he cannot wear also gold and silver), but I will check For the second problem, it is not a problem anymore because the customer is a very good friend, so no problems at all for that. what about plastic buckle? any idea on where to find?

Hi all, a customer asked me to make a belt with a buckle that must have no metal parts, since he is allergic to all metals. He needs a "classic" buckle (I proposed him a D-ring belt with plastic o wooden D-rings but he prefer a classic one). Do you have any suggestion on where to find it? Better in Europe but every suggestion is welcome Thank you Ash

thanks for reply... just a detail: I will not use the boning tool, just put it in a shape by hand and let it dry, so no tools will be used on carving the final object will be like this one, and the tooling will be on the flat ground:

Hi folks, I searched in other topics but i didn't find the answer... sorry if this is a repetition I'm doing a floral carved piece, it will be a valet (or a tray) and I'm going to wet form it after the carving and dyeing So how to do it? I was thinking about doing the carving, let it dry, dye it and antiquing and then re-wet and mold, but maybe there are two problems: 1) antiquing will fade with water since it is water-based 2) carving details will be lost by re-wetting it and molding? Any suggestion will be so much appreciated thanks a lot Ash

thank you all

Thank you! is "Tingileder" dye from Girba, oxblood colour, I applied it by a sponge

Hi all, first attempt to a dice cup, asked by a customer for his team. I'm pretty happy about it, lot of work but I really enjoyed! Thanks for looking, Ash

Hi, this is my new design for a card wallet. Veg tanned leather 2mm thick, hand dyed and hand stitched. Thanks for looking

Thanks a lot for your work! Absolutely great! Steampunk stuff will be really much appreciated!!

very beautiful and well made! can I ask how did you get that colour? I like it very much

thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, this is my last flask I made, hope you like it. Comments and criticisms are welcome! Thanks for looking sorry for the photos, not best quality...

all good but the bag is awesome, I love that design! could you give us a couple more picture of that bag? thanks for sharing

thank you very much Ryan! the initial shape is simply a square, pinched and sewn in the middle of the sides the edges are embossed with an embossing wheel from Tandy, used with the Overstitch handle http://www.tandyleather.eu/en-eur/search/searchresults/8091-300.aspx

Thanks a lot! These are wet formed, and dried over the... radiator! I learnt (but maybe it could be wrong) that quicker drying keep better shape than slower, if I explained well what I mean...
