Great looking bag/tote/purse. You do fine work. Really nice work.
-
@Bchase19 Is it just a snake skin? Or has it been lined? Glycerin oil lightly rubbed over it. It will bring back the color & make it soft.

Looks great. Nice work. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks SUP. I'll have to check it out. I've been doing this for a bit, but I got soo much more to learn.

cross shoulder purse
DieselTech replied to Stewart's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Looks good! She will cherish that forever. Nice work. -
Ok thanks. I got a leather roller coming. I have heard of people doing that with kangaroo leather. The few videos I watched the procedure looked to work pretty good. I'll do some testing before starting a project. Thanks.

Thanks Bruce, do you think a guy would be better off to use a spray adhesive like 3M Super 77? For a lining like that. Maybe less chance of bleed thru. Lol this was listed as veg tan goatskin, but when it showed up it was sheepskin. Some of my order was goatskin, but some of it is sheepskin. Supposedly all veg tan. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

It looks to me a pebble back grounder, but I could be totally wrong.

Might look into rocky mountain leather. They list their leather by firmness, among other things. But at least you can see what firmness the leather is unlike other places. I'm thinking you want something from a minimum of 7/10 firmness/hand. 8/10 firmness/hand would probably be better suited. I am just a newbie, so I maybe totally wrong.

Guys & gals I'm wanting to try & line a wallet with sheepskin or goatskin. This stuff is soo thin, I'm curious what I need for glue. I surely cant use contact cement on this type stuff can I? If somebody wants to give me some tips i would sure appreciate your input & knowledge. Also what is the best way to finish the edges on a lined wallet? Thanks.

Leather Finishing Cream Suggestions
DieselTech replied to p51p28's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I recently started using skidmores conditioning/finishing cream. It seems to be nice stuff. It supposedly is all natural. Plus it smells good. -
Lol that could be the case here to. I figured it's better to have it & not need it.
-
Looks great! You do lovely work.
-
Yeah I purchased this in Hope's to use it on my wallets. To skive the edges of the card pockets to make the wallet a tad thinner when sewing up.
-
Thanks I'm sure I'll cuss it at 1st. But by the test sample they sent I'm impressed. It is super thin soft type of leather & I am surprised something that thin can be skived.
-
Guys & gals I picked this manual skiver up the other day. Are they any good? Looks like a nice tool, now I need to play with it & ruin some leather & cuss. Cause I'm sure there is going to be a learning curve with it. If this test sample is anything like it performs, I'm impressed.
-
Looks great. Nice work. You do nice work.
-
Looks great. Awesome work. Looks nice. I hope someday my tooling gets that good. Beautiful work.

Nice looking old singer. Shes a beauty. -
Your belts look good. You did just fine. When using eco flo all in one dye, you need to apply it thick & heavy in a circular motion, then wipe. If the dye is spotty, repeat the above procedure. Here is the same acorn brown eco-flo dye on some craftsman veg tan from tandy.

Looks good! Nice work.
-
Looks good. Things sure are getting kinky around here lately.
-
Looks good! You do great work. Love the camo work.

Nice work! Looks great. Lol, I know some truck drivers that wished they would have had that at times. Maybe you could design a slot in the next one for quick to access to paper.
