Anyone know of a source for solid brass (not plated) spots?

That is a work of art, really incredible. I am pretty new to this sight and to leatherwork so please excuse my ignorance but is the whole wallet hand stiched, even the embroidery? Thanks for sharing your work.

aaarrrggghhh! Can't access the photos from this tutorial. Have they been moved to someplace else??? Am I too late??? Thanks.

Thanks Clay,I'll do that. Hope you are staying warm. Just heard on the news that you are at 31 below!!!

Johanna, Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Lezli Thanks for looking King's X, I sure do appreciate it. Lezli

Hi King's X, Happy New Year to you as well. It doesn't come to a sharp point in the front, but it is lower in the front with a gentle curving contour and it buckles in the front. I saw it in an old Tandy catalog that someone is selling on ebay, hopefullly this link will work.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Tandy-Leather-catalogs-lot-Patterns-for-tooling_W0QQitemZ400083349498QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d26d36ffa Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone have an old Tandy pattern for a ladies contour belt called "The Empress". I think it dates from the late 50's or early 60's thanks. Lezli

Hi Darc, Your stitching is beautiful. Where can one find a Bob Douglas awl? Shehog How does one go about modifying an ice pick to an awl? Thanks. Shehog

LM1457, that is a beautiful belt, fine work. How does one go about making their own punch for custom conchos? It makes all the difference in that belt. Shehog

Barra, Thanks for the info., much appreciated. Shehog

Lippy, What a beautiful collection, thanks for posting the pics. How is the pressure applied to the work on that style of clamp? Shehog

Does anyone have a photo they can post of what their stitching or lacing clamps look like? Do you use them while seated or standing? I want to fabricate one but am not sure if I want one that I can use while sitting or one I can attatch to my bench ala CitizenKate. Capgun Kid posted some instructions on how to make one but I was wondering if anyone had any clear photos. Thanks in advance. Shehog

Capgun, Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this excellent information. I hope the elves can make me a stitching clamp by Christmas, it is at the top of my list! Merry Christmas. Shehog

thank you so much for the tutorial, clear and concise. I am having trouble downloading the pattern though, is there somewhere else I may find this or can you email it to me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Gary, Great tutorial and a nice idea. What ga. brass are you using for the 6" bracelet base/form? Thanks in advance.\

Hi, could you please post a link to the tutorial that you used? Thanks.

thanks to all, for your good suggestions. Was curious what others are using.

Hi, What do people use as a board to cut and punch their leather on? There has to be something better than the $18.00 piece of rubber that Tandy sells. Thanks in advance

Hi, Do you have a website where I can purchase one of your mauls? Thanks, they are beautiful.

Thanks so much Kate, I did all of the carving and tooling but the designs were from two old designs that I put together to fit my cover. Thanks for the support Rob. Thanks everyone. It is my first post as well and I'm still learning my way around. Can anyone point me to a post on loading photos? Can't seem to get mine to work very well. Thanks again.

My first real project made from scratch. I cobbled the design together from two old designs and used my own checkbook as a pattern. I like it.
