Well technically it's not my first, it's my second. But I haven't made one in years. I decided to to a smaller piece for the dogs name, mainly because this was the first time I used letter stamps. It worked out great since I stamped that name 3 times, using a solid jig I set up before I realized the I stamp was not lined up with the rest. I had to file a small amount off the stamp so it would line up when I bumped it against the jig. Then I messed up two more times 🤦 I don't typically paint leather either. It really helps the name pop though. Hermann oak 9/10, 16"-19", 1¼" tapered to ¾" strap. Hermann oak 4/5 (probably) out of my scrap bin on the name tag. Some fancy looking buckle that's been in my shop since I built it years ago. Edit: Forgot to mention. I also lined it with water Buffalo from weaver. I blurred out the number.

I have a question regarding the durability of heated edge paint on bridle leather. I'm making a bunch of dog collars out of mostly Wickett & Craig & Chahin bridle, some are made of Chahin Holster Strap Leather. I burnished most of them, but I'm not happy with the look of the burnished edges on some colours (i.e. Chestnut). I dyed the edges and its not the technique I'm not happy with, they are round and smooth and shiny. Its a personal preference. I have been experimenting with Vernis Edge paint using a cheaper version of the Regad Filiteuse on other projects, like bags and wallets. I really like the look of it. But I am wondering if it will hold up to the abuse a dog collar has to go through. The collars are going to be the first items I'm actually starting a business with and are going to be for sale in 2 stores. So obviously I want to stand behind my products and not get complaints about the edge paint peeling off... Any advice would be appreciated.. Thanks

dog collar Finally done! Carved dog collar
YinTx posted a topic in Collars, Cuffs, Leashes and Leads
Finally finished this up today. Took half a year of Sundays it seems, but ready. 1" wide strap, Hermann Oak leather, Fil Au Chinois Thread, solid steel hardware. Learned a thing from @RockyAussie's watch strap tutorial, and tried to apply it here. Thanks for that! Plenty of little mistakes, and things I'd do differently (like only use that style of buckle with very thin flexible leather), but I think it will be serviceable! From what I understand, LuLu is a girly girl boxer with white fur, so I think she'll like this style. YinTx

Hi All, just wanted to post something. Have been lurking around for the last couple of months. Still very new to leather craft. Im about 2 months in. Here is one of my most recent collars. It was an experiment and its not too bad. The dye work is a bit poor on the coloured parts, especially the black marks ?(I have since got hold of some leather paint instead of using dye), so hopefully the next ones will be cleaner. Hand aged hardware, rabbit fur accent and padded. All hand stitched. As a total beginner I'm pretty happy with it.

Do any of you guys or gals use a semi-tubular rivet with a back side washer? If so do you know of anyone that sales the rivet and washer as a set? See the six rivets in the example image where the leather is folded for the buckle. www.all-about-pitbull-dog-breed.com/bmz_cache/9/92f5f8979e93e74bb6b3383ef7b99e9d.image.550x550.jpg

Just knocked out a few more collars for the web store I am launching soon. I had a mate take some photos for me, as is his hobby. These are his 'messing around on Sunday Arvo' shots... which are instantly better than anything I have done! Lol Anyway. Burgundy latigo, about 3.6mm. Edges are hand burnished. Riveted with brass saddlers rivets. Hardware is all solid cast brass. Enjoy!

Hey guys I'm working on my first big project where I'm looking to make around 50-100 dog collars. I'm planning on doing 3/4 colours and 4 different sizes. I'm already designing the template for each and thinking about making a jig that will hold each strap to ensure that holes are punched quickly and accurately. I have a few questions however ; 1. Do you think 3.5mm shoulder would be ok? 2. What dyes do you think I should use? I like more muted colours and have experience at oil dyes. However would these leak or have bad affect on dogs? 3. Who finish to weather seal it? Bees wax? (I have blocks of this) Acrylic Resolene? Or anything else that wouldn't harm a dog. thanks for your help

Just a simple dog collar I knocked out on the weekend for my border collie. He seems pretty happy with it! Latigo leather from Tandy, about 3.8mm thick (9-10 oz). Solid brass hardware, and solid brass rivets. Only the best for my boy!

Here is another collar I made. I am SO pleased with my CB-3500 from CowboyBob. It does amazing things, I'm just along for the ride! This is my first attempt at rolled leather. I looked at an old collar I got back in the early 90s and tried to copy it as best I could. I am pleased with how it turned out. This CB-3500 makes things that look really hard as easy as cutting warm butter! Pic was before I burnished. TY

I'd aprreciate any tips!! Thank you, Lourenço

Hello all, I'm attempting to taper a collar for a customer, but as I've never done it before my first couple attempts were a disaster- uneven and ugly. Does anyone have any tips on how to taper? Tools I should be using? Thank you!

Here's the 1st collar I attempted to sew. I remember how discouraged I was. Thinking it was going to be impossible to ever produce nice collars. But every mistake is a lesson. My stitch length was cutting strap it was so close. Letters look horrific. Foam I used was too thick. I could go on and on, but I don't like laughing at myself. Post your 1st project and a current item that shows with practice and passion you can always improve to better outcomes. Malik
