Don Gonzales has a pretty good tutorial on antiquing. Lol it will be quicker than me trying to explain it. It can be done numerous ways thou.

I use a lot of veg-tan, but I just been using the imported stuff in grade A & I have been happy so far. I have heard a bunch this year from some very professional famous leather makers. They have said that Herman Oak leather has been hit & miss for them too. Basically from 2023 going into 2024.

Yeah I think blue & orange look good together.

Looks good. Nice work on them. They look great.

Looks good. Nice work. I like the pattern on the belt next to the black belt. Is that hand stamped/tooled or was it embossed? Thanks.

No problem! Thanks I appreciate it.

Help with getting a nice frayed belt edge with fibers
DieselTech replied to blackandblue50's topic in How Do I Do That?
That leather might be to tight grained to get the desired effect. But 60 grit might be worth a try. That gray color is from the tanning/dying process I believe. Your leather might not have them gray tones under the black like the other belt you pictured. -

I would try some 60 or 80 grit sand paper. That should give you the desired effect you are going for. -
You need to list a price. Thanks.

Looks good! I like it. Nice work.

Sound like the motor is running backwards or the motor needs flipped 180° or end for end.

Nice work. I checked them out a month or month & half ago. I was debating if I wanted to spend the money to get into a different technique.

Any way to color/hide copper rivets and burrs?
DieselTech replied to Sarina's topic in How Do I Do That?
I was going to reccomend Chicago screws, but I was beat to the punch line. You could use nickel silver cutlery rivets. But you would need to buy the long ones & then cut them to the length you want/need. -
Looks good. Nice work & looks like its heavy built/constructed.
-
Looks great. Nice work.

Thanks I appreciate it. I will say I really like the Conceria Walpier Buttero leather.

Guys & gals I finally got some time & got the wallet finished. It turned out nice I think, especially for a new design & 1st build.
