Hi everyone, My name is Aleks and I am from London. Also Russian speaking Two months ago I decided to start practising in making leather goods. I do not make any big projects until I will be confident in all processes like pattern cutting, stitching and finishing edges. This is my last creature, a trolley coin keyring. Materials: black smooth calfskin, natural colour 18/3 Barbour thread and Fenice grey edge paint. Tools: Pro-Line diamond chisel 6spi (new Amy Rokes irons 8spi already ordered), soldering iron withbrass tip from aliexpress (need to order proper Regad Fileteuse with F2 tip), sand paper 400 grit. A nice slanted stitch using single knot and crease line was made using regular soldering iron. This project was made to test new way of stitching and new edge paint. Fenice is much betterthen Giardini. Almost ready to switch my direction to Leo Degarmo brand. Thank you

All the stitching is done, still need to tap down the stitches and trim the ends and finish burnishing the edges! Happy to say I had a bit of a breakthrough today on the evenness of my stitch backsides. Not perfect yet, but big improvement. YinTx© YinTx

Today's effort. This is a shot of the the backside of my stitching, using Barbour 18/3 linen thread. Changed technique ever so slightly, showed some improvement on the backside. Still not as nice as I'd like, but happy there is a step in the positive direction. YinTx© YinTx

On the left, is a strap showing the reverse or back side of the stitching, prior to trimming the threads and tapping down. On the right is the front or top side of the stitching, also before trimming or tapping down. For me, this is a big improvement. There are fewer "fat" and "skinny" stitches, the reverse side is straighter, and has a much better "lay." It was obvious from the previous images that I was having difficulties keeping the awl even and exiting with the same sized holes. I made a lot of adjustments to get here, but the main things were: Increased lighting: 4 ea 100 watt bulbs seemed to help me see what I was doing better. Putting a LOT of wax on the thread drastically improved the "twisting" I was experiencing, and reduced the "fat" and "skinny" stitches. Keeping the exit hole as small as possible also helped.

To illustrate my frustration on the back of my hand stitching. The vertical row is on the backside of the stitch from gusset panel to front panel. They tend to "wobble" a bit, and I would like to get them more even. I have another photo from today's efforts that shows some improvement. YinTx© YinTx

Finally taking shape. Still have to stitch the back panel and the straps, and finish burnishing the edges. Easy to see the "streaky" dye job. Will try a sponge or small rag next time to see how it goes on. YinTx© YinTx

Closer up. Still trying to get more even stitches with the linen thread. Also, this is the "battle tested" Tandy leather full of scars, brands, marks, etc. I will need some practice getting the dye more even, it seems the Large size swab doesn't cut it for big pieces of leather. Maybe a sponge next... suggestions? YinTx© YinTx
