Hello my name is Brent was wondering if someone could make custom sheath folder for a knife I had made. The main folder that holds the knife out stingray and would also like a folder 1 inch wide and 4 inches length made out of toad or shark leather attach them to look like one item on the right side, both in black with a metal belt clip. I will include a drawing of the knife and the pen to help with measurements. my email is hunterbrent@outllook.com Thanks, Brent

Hi Everyone, not long ago I got a sample of Alan Sully goat leather, one in 3 ounce and one and 2 1/2 ounce. I was thinking I’d like to make a medium sized bag with these using reinforcement and was thinking of using Salpa. I noticed that Salpa comes in several different thicknesses including 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 mm. Does anybody have any suggestions on what thickness to use? I was thinking of getting some 0.6 mm but I wasn’t sure if this would provide enough rigidity to the bag. I hesitate with 0.8 because I don’t want it to be really thick in the end. If anybody has any suggestions and experience working with these products I would love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me identify an issue with my new cobra class 26 sewing machine. I just received it on Monday and assembled it yesterday, which seemed rather straightforward. I just got the machine turned on and running this morning and am concerned about this loud sound the machine is making while in use. It seems to be coming from under the machine. I reached out to leather machine co. but am awaiting a response. I was hoping someone in the meantime could offer any insight. Please check out the videos. Thank you! IMG_3123 (4).mov

Hello leatherworking enthusiasts! My name is François, I'm 34 years old, originally from Belgium, now based in Lyon, France. My atypical career path has taken me from the benches of biotechnology to the bench of leather craftsmanship, where I strive to marry tradition with innovation. My adventure into the world of leather goods is as singular as the pieces I create. With a degree in biotechnology, I bring scientific precision to my craftsmanship, fusing intellect with creativity. My academic career is a testament to the successful fusion of science and art.My field of expertise extends far beyond traditional leatherwork. From ancient forging to cutlery and jewelry design, I navigate with ease through a variety of disciplines. My portfolio even includes work in the unconventional field of BDSM manufacture, illustrating my willingness to explore the boundaries of my craft.In addition to my studio, I'm also involved as a cultural mediator and journalist. My involvement with the media outlet UAP Check, specializing in unidentified aerial phenomena, geostrategy and scientific innovation, demonstrates my commitment to exploring the unknown. As a journalist, I offer a unique perspective, interweaving elements of history, anthropology and AI to deepen my analyses.As an avowed geek, I find joy in a multitude of hobbies, from history and literature to new technologies and video games. My involvement in martial arts and historical re-enactment further underscores my varied interests, creating a rich canvas that feeds and enriches my artistic creations. In my hands, leather transcends its utilitarian function to become a canvas for artistic expression. My journey from biotechnologist to craftsman illustrates the infinite possibilities that emerge when intellect meets craft. By constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional leatherworking, I remain a shining example of the harmony between science, history and innovation in the world of creative craftsmanship.

‘Hi all, Im new to this blog and leather sewing in general, bought my first industrial sewing machine few month ago Seiko STH-8BLD-3 very pleased with it, then about month ago bought Durkopp 541 post bed and now looking for cylinder bed machine, I don't do heavy leather its mostly for upholstery and small items but I find my self more relaxed while sewing stuff, I enjoy finding new information and this blog coming up often on google searches for what ever I’m looking for to solve. Thank you all for your input and problem solving guides, I am hoping to also share my experience with you all and hope that someone might learn something from my mistakes.

I work with Scouts mostly on small projects. I have at most 4 hours to complete all the requirements for the Leatherwork Merit badge. The 1st hour or so is discussions on various related topics and tool demonstrations. So 3 hours is the time they have to complete their projects. Including hand sewing. What can I do to really speed up the drying time between tooling then dying then applying top coat then sewing. There is definitely not enough time to allow the proper time for each of these steps. I normally use Saddle Lac because it dries super fast but if I teach in California I'm not sure I can use it since it's not available for sale there. I've been using the Tandy Professional dyes instead of the All-in-One type of finishes because of the color options. I live in Las Vegas and can leave it in the sun after each step. But there are issues if the weather isn't cooperating, especially if it's windy, and I use fans for indoor classes. I'm wondering about other options available no matter how crazy. Here are some ideas I'm spitballing: Microwave Convection oven Food dehydrator Warming mats like the kind used when starting seeds in the winter Heat lamps or heat emitters like the ones used for reptiles Build something that uses a combination of 2 or more of the above. I don't have any idea how the leather would react to any of the above ideas. We don't want to end up with leather that gets too hard or curls too much I'd like to get you opinions along with any additional ideas you have. Thanks, Dale

I haven't finished anything to show off lately so I thought I'd brag on a few new tools I got from Bruce Johnson Leather Tools. These were always at the lower priority end of my tool buying obsession until I discovered on Facebook that Bruce Johnson is now a dealer for CS Osborne. Concho cutters that actually cut, and dividers I can set and lock. Love 'em! If you need something, and need it quick, check out Bruce's operation at http://www.BruceJohnsonLeather.com

Hello to the lovely leatherwork community, I joined the forum as my father in law has passed away and I have so many sewing machines machines, presses, leather goods, many of the items I am finding which I have no idea what they are! lol I have about 12 sewing machines, enough shoe lasts, leather, buckles, rivets, hand tools, punch tools and various other items to last a lifetime. The shoe shop was around for 100 years and I know a couple of the machines are 1850's just from a little google search. I am hoping that people will share their knowledge with me so I can make sure the items are given a new home and preserved. Thank you for reading this post.

They're considered "unsalable" and not carried by most leather suppliers (and for good reason), but are the almost point-for-point historical equivalent once a little processing is done for something I need. Any ideas? (Tannery guys? If you're seeing this, I'm serious and I know what I'm asking for.) (Cannot use wet-blue, sorry)

What are the important factors to consider when shopping for leather clothing in any season. -
I am very new to leather working. I am starting off with making bronc halters, earrings, hat patches and similar western style accessories. I have goals to make western horse tack in the future when I have more experience. My question is what is the best sewing machine for these types of items that is simple enough for a newbie to use? I have tried reading through the forums but there’s so much information it’s overwhelming. Would it be better to hand sew them for now? I apologize if these questions have already been answered on here this is my first post and still learning how to use this site. Thanks in advance. Also I am located in the United States.

I'm just about to get my leather for the yokes and back belt on my chaps and I'm not quite sure how thick the leather should be. I was thinking 3.5-4mm as the body of the chaps are 1.6-2.0mm, but let me know what y'all think Also, if you have any suggestions on a color that would complement this. Let me know.
