Good eye Garyak,, & excellent work. you are a master,.. I’m curious, in this photo, you seem to have a brace on your wrist/ hand.. is that because your hand is injured? Or because you’ve been working on leather & your hands are hurting? If so.. does it help,? & allow you to still do the work? @ 63 years of age, my hands are trashed, I started working with leather at the age of 17, and I really hope to continue working it thru retirement ..but the knuckles are so swollen on a daily basis..just a few of my custom works.. most are in a photo album& not digital..

I’ve used the app. 1” wide metal straps for hanging ductwork…to give structure & form to saddlebags.. it’s very thin & also durable..& lightweight. On occasion I’ve covered it with the same leather the said bag is made of. It’s easy to drill out the holes for attaching with rivets..

so, I inlaid this rattlesnake skin into this vest about 30 years ago..however it is starting to lift at spots. What can I treat it with?

I ran a 251-13 for about 20 years.. a gray machine mechanic goes along way too.. it was geared for leather & had a walking foot...It did a great job on garment leathers, ( jackets & chaps and lingerie ..& everything in between.
