    Thank you all for the replies. I have now started wetting before bending and added pure neatsfoot oil to my process. I was not doing either of those. New leatherworker problems...
  2. afdfirefighter started following What type of finish is this?, How do I keep from cracking, How do I make this curve when going from 1.5" down to .75" and do it consistenly and and 1 other

    Am i bending the leather too tight or what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

    Thank you Rebecca.

    Thank you. I’ll check Toledo sew out. I would definitely have to ship. It’s a long haul to drive

    When I search for 207 polyester thread in different colors I am not finding much at all. Am I calling it something wrong? This is for a Cobra Class 3 machine. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you. Is there a site that has pre-made (standard-ish) dyes? I would imagine there is something out there similar to what I am doing or that I can make work.
  8. afdfirefighter
    What is the easiest way to do this and do it consistent each time? Should I have a dye made or is there a punch I can use to accomplish this? Thank you in advance.

    This is the only site I found that had them. My only hesitation is it says adding color could add extra processing time... Hoping someone comes up with something else also. Thank you though.

    Where can I find these spring buckles in bulk? Nickel, Black and Brass. Thank you in advance.
  11. afdfirefighter
    Thank you. I will look it up. Hoping it’s not too difficult to do for a beginner.

    Would anyone be able to help me identify what this finish is and how I could accomplish it with veg tan leather? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My main product will be similar to this and will be a 10-11 ounce and i plan to do everything in 207 thread. That seems to be the industry norm.

    That is great to know! I don't see myself going below the 6oz leather so I am leaning towards the CB3200. Thinnest I would go would be a belt. What thickness are those normally?
  15. afdfirefighter
    If I run the same size thread for all of my items I could get by with one machine right?

    How do you thin the pva glue? I like this idea for the cutting board part of my table
