  5. Hi, I didn't start in leather with such a good job! very good work and well come.
  6. I still do this in a traditional way, round leather, 4-6-8 mm wrapped in an anti-stretch fabric.
  7. https://www.buckleguy.com maybe...
  8. I think British consumers will be delighted to know that they are going to have to bear the extra burden of these taxes, as it is certain that salesmen will not give them the gift of taking these new hassles for themselves.
  9. I like English humor even if sometimes I have a little trouble grasping its subtle nuances.
  10. Does it also work with new water?
  11. If you ask 1,000 people you will get 1,000 different opinions and ways of doing things. Personally, I use a method as old as the world, and that has proven itself at a time when we didn't know all these chemicals for leather. Once I have sanded my slices with 500 paper on a wooden wedge, and after burnishing wet,I apply tragacante gum, and sand again with 500 paper when dry,, then I apply the gum again and sand with 1000 paper, then I apply my beeswax/carnuba wax and polish and do this as long as it doesn't shine like a mirror.
  12. I simply write on my leather either with a ballpoint pen or a fountain pen. https://tradisign.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2019-08-02T12:08:00%2B02:00&max-results=5&start=24&by-date=false
  13. thank you for the advice of the procedure!
  14. Hi all, Personally I very often double my creations, because, besides the fact that it is more beautiful, it makes more "professional work" and then especially for a beautiful woman's bag it is much more sensitive to the touch and for a beautiful belt it slips better in the passageways of the pants and I find that it "finishes" more nicely the work and it also makes it possible to play on the colors, a color for the facing and another one for the lining.For the leather lining I often use very thin 0.8/1mm is perfect. Recently I have been acquainted with Alcantara®, it is a sumptuous and magnificent product for the lining.
  15. Interesting, never heard of this procedure, I will try it. thanks!
  16. ahh ok thanks for the tip I didn't know this procedure. thanks fredk
  17. In this world of leather workers, I notice that nobody uses black dye.
  18. Hi, in fact, it's very easy ,when you work leather,it's really simple.You cut as a belt,a littele bit longer and you glue the two ends beveled to avoid having a bounce each time the wheel passes over the junction. it is necessary to calculate slightly tight,with new leather.and you stick on the wheel after cleaning it well.
