Mmmm, a last question. How you see this chisels for beginning? https://leathercrafttools.com/item?id=8387&col=&sel_s=&sel_v=

Ok, I'm here again. When I question for packs to beginners I don`t mean for the typical packs you can buy in many webs, I refere to buy this separatelly. Example, jj#2 needles, tiger thread and, awls..?? and chisel..?? In the web site of John James I download an catalog/guide for needles, and well, after this great information I'm more lost, ha ha, but ok. bikermutt07 you recommend a #2 size needles, but, what model? or, Are a model in special? I can see the eyes in catalog and this are some differents. I'll try to attach it to compare. What you mean with 4mm size? size of the spikes or distance betwing spikes? in other words, when we see in the specification of products(chisel in this case) and can read, 3mm, 4mm etc, what is this measure, the distance betwing spikes or the spikes size. Thank you very much. I Can't attach, visit JJ website to see catalog. Sure you know that

Thanks you for your time, here is night, tomorrow I expand my text...

Hello. For no open new thread. Can one help me to know the sizes of spikes most used ir general in priking irons? Forget my back question, I understand is irrelevant the out sizes mesure of spikes. But please, need help with the relations of pricking Iron, jj needles sizes/models, awl, and thread... Where is the basic set for beginners?

Hi boys and girls! Well I have a doubt or question about the space interior between teeth of a pricking iron. Which is the more small you know? Well now I have double trouble, the scales variety or measures, Inch, oz, milimeters etc, etc. Here I use mm. I'll try to explan my question with a picture in a few minutes, I think is important for beginners know the internal sizes of this tools. See you lather... Attach picture

Hello!! Ok thanks. Mattsbagger I'll think about it. Grey Drakkon thanks for you idea. I'll think about colors or ideas of the region but I do not like to color the leather, just apply dyes and ... well, I'm not very proud of the lord of the statue on horseback in the square, called Pizarro, sacked gold and killed women and children in Peru. Probably certain people would buy coasters with Hitler's face but I would not make them.

Hello leatherworkers. Well, I ask to the more veterans (in general if as possible thank you) guide me to the new future present for me. (I don't know if you can understand this on my slang English ha ha). Right, I taked the decision to work in leather for live or make some money with this. In my mind have ideas about what products I make it or can work, understand me..? Example I don't make a saddle because is long work, i don't have a minimal F idea and probably here in Spain no ones buy it. Have in my mind many kind of ideas to begining, belts, portraits stand, house supplies, case glasses and well I think the typical to beginers but, in your experience. What do you recomind me to work? Ok ok... I try to put you on scene. I go to live to an ancient village ( watch -Trujillo, Cáceres Spain - street view to take a gander) with tourist European, some Japanish, Spanish obviously and this kind of people movement that you see in a old village with monuments, good eat etc. Who type of products can buy normaly to manteinance the soul wake up and don't stop the wheel. Hope you understand me and I'll receive all sugestions with gratitude.

Hello again and thank you all for responding. Yes mikesc, this is it, the translator tells me Turner, you know ... Ok so 1lb, (here in Spain the usage scale is Kg, 1lb is 453.5 grms) so I keep this information for purchase. I in make my list of tools (long list) to try to save money, compare webs and this tipical things, is crazy ha ha, if I have some questions I'll back ...

Ok ok, I finished dive. I can't do one because I don't have the turner machine. In any case I think if I purchase one of medium quality to beginning is not to bad. What you think? Really love it do it my own things but ever the problem is many time I don't have the machines or own tools that is needed to make it. So for at moment I think the best idea is buy a down or medium class, do it some works, make money and buy an Rolls Royce maul, ha ha ha. Now. Speak me about the weight, how is it, is forward? I never take one maul in my hand but you know that... I'm Jazz drummer and youll imagine, I'm crazy sometimes with the weight of sticks if is 3 or 5 grms more than others...

I am grateful for so much good information and answers. I will read your advices carefully and I will reply later. For me who do not understand English very well this is already a job. I've see a lot of video of leather artist like Gonzales, Chaeny, Atkinson, Fischer (with out critical scale) and ha ha I'm limited to watch, because understand what I hear is rather little Like Bruce Dickinson say, dive dive dive , ha ha... Go to dive internet

Thats good!! Probably in the future I'm interested to buy. Can you ship to Spain, and how much with shipping? If yes please send your catalog to un28deoctubre@gmail.com, thank you.

Beautiful!! What kind of leather used?

Beautiful!

Hi again!! Thanks to all. ok, my doubts are less, if it is cheap as I suspect it is made of worse materials, now my problem is that I live in Spain and obviouly I have to add the cost of shipping and pay customs at the price of a barry king for example, (and that in the South in Andalucia there is a Tandy ..) there I will ask for many things but not a maul at those prices, so I think of looking at amazon Spain some that I have seen, I will share it if you want to help me he Let me know if you are so kind. Thank you. Edit to attach link: this one. Maul

Hola!! I have questions for maul, why that big price difference? You can see in some webs a maul for $ 40 or 50, seeking see others for about $125. I understand will a marketing o other owned decision but, exist a real difference with the material that is make it to justify the diference? If yes and you know please explain it. I wanna get off my doubts to buy one. Thank you.

mikesc... JD62 Please some MOD can rename the post to... Hood falcon. I can't do it. Thank you so much

Hello everybody. I've had time to make my promise, so... Sewing a hood dGinLeatherCraft, thank you for notice. Yesterday try to search the word with a translator and not obtain solution, so good, we can use poncing ha ha. DP: Oh damn, I read myself say peace of leather, ha ha, piece of leather I meant.

Thanks to all and excuse my English, yes it is a hood not a cape . ByNelson first I want to tell you that the explanation is not easy for my English, I hope you and others can understand me, come on! The work begins with a correct pattern and in this case the name is (Arab hood), so the first problem is that the patterns are not correctly on the Internet, see this example ... pattern Arabian hood is a hood in a pattern or a piece, there are many other pattern, holland, kirguiz etc ... all this is to do with pattern two pieces. After that you need to reshape the Arabian pattern to adjust this for your bird's head and obviously if you do more needs for hoods patterns for other species, eagles, goshawk, falcon etc, (only in hawks are 19 subspecies and each with different sizes ... this is additional information, sorry.) Ok, knowing this I make a first pattern to my bird with the material called goma eva "here in Spain" because it is cheap, flexible and can sew easy, when I have the correct sizes unpick the sewing to carry the pattern with a pencil in a piece of cardboard. Now makes small and continuous holes all around the cardboard pattern, after working with sandpaper the opposing cardboard holes to open the holes and (now the pattern has been saved for future works ), carry this pattern to a leather peace with a small cloth (I do not know the English name see that ... ??????. I put in flour or plaster, when finish you have contour of pattern in small dots white. Cut this perfectly and sew it, sewing is the most laborious work, nobody shows it correctly on youtube, but I have my own video, I try to upload for here, be patient, ... meantime basically is exit stitching hole through of the thickness of the leather, get the union of the ends. I promise upload a sewing video...

Yes man, you right, are beautyfull arquitecture, but don't forget the explosion cultural in U.S.A in the last century, simply awesome, well, I say you that I'm formed in jazz music, so... love it, and many many of your films, the Blues music, Voogie woogie, (don't like country music ha ha , sorry...) I love your horses saddlery, awesome, Agar France, Bruce Chaeny, Don Gonzales ha ha...

Hello Friend! Dive here, there is beaucoup to learn. If you can try to explain your tastes to work interests, carving, sewing, hand sewing, chrome leather, veg etc ... you could perhaps save yourself learning something you do not wanna to use.

Hi! That's helpful. But I am somewhat lost with sizes and measures like oz, sq, yd, pounds etc, not easy for me. If I want to use a 0.8mm thread, what size needle eye should I buy? because the length in principle is not problem but if the section or thickness. Someone can help me with amazon for correct size and shipping to Spain. I'm looking for 20minutes and I'm lost with a lot of offer. Thank you

Nice trips typical. If the next year you travel Spain again please visit Cáceres, is awesome and is only 2 hours in car from Madrid, if you wanna you can write me PM here and wi'll try meet us for taste some beers, vine or fruit juices, ha ha, I'll go live over there.

Muchas gracias, igualmente. Thank you very much.

Good tour my friend ha ha. I live in Madrid, in a city to 20Km out and I'm a "country boy" o persona de campo ha ha. Cities is good but my happiness is a rural life, horizon trees, wind, rivers, open space, fly my falcon, I love it. Now need live in Madrid for healt problems of my bird and visit veterinary but I think in work in leather some products and go to my small village and try to life over there the rest of my life. Is a Village near where is recorded the 7 season of Game of Thrones so, is medieval and many tourist to visit, good place for sold some leather works, I think Hope this ...

Searching inside forum sure I obtain answers to my questions without need posted now for the beginning. If I no obtain it I ask. Madrid medieval is a beauty but the traffic and sound is horryble, is good in August when all people go away to the beach ha ha so take note.
