Joined up ages ago so not sure what took me so long to start joining in! Have been doing leatherwork and running courses for a number of years since and have recently launched Waxing the Thread, the only UK magazine for leatherwork hobbyists - the only one I can find anyway :-) Always looking to expand my skills and knowledge and am equally as happy to share my own...

Waxing the Thread is a new UK leatherwork magazine for hobbyists of the craft. It has 36 pages of Patterns, projects, how-to's and articles and is aimed at beginners - it is also a great read for anyone on their leatherwork journey, whatever their level of skill. Issues #1, #2 and #3 are currently available from www.waxingthethread.co.uk

Hey that's pretty neat! Love the leather

I can't help with the era, but it is really beautiful. What a great find!

34"; 36' and 38". But if you take a few tools along with you could make the belts extra long and use the end tipper and hole punch when people buy - that makes the customer feel they're getting a bit more than 'off the shelf' too. It makes for longer customer interaction, is a nice service to provide and people will remember you for next time.

Looks like it might be wax. Maybe try buffing it with a soft brush

Yep, Yep, It's great!

Thanks for your help Tom

Ran an advert with me recently so definitely still trading.

Amazing for a first! Looks great! I love that it's lined with zipped pocket - always good to have a secure one.

Love these, especially the bags!

Can anyone advise where I could post news of our new UK Leatherwork magazine? I don't want to post in the wrong place and have emailed a few times but I guess admin gets swamped with those! Thanks
