Hi, Have a question about a type of stitch and also its strength. The stitch I want to know about is in this video below. It is the first stitch he does, single needle method. My questions: -1. What is the name of the stitch. He says it gives the look of the 2 needle saddle stitch method. Is it still called a saddle stitch? -2. Also is this stitch strong and if one stitch breaks, say in the middle, will they all pull through? 3-. Is there a different way to start and finish this type of stitch? I cant end it like he does with putting it between the two pieces. I just cant keep it tight to do it. So what I have been doing is when I get to the end on the second pass that takes me to where I started to end the stitch, I then just go a few more holes the opposite way(so 3 times through each hole) just a few holes, cutting it and adding a dab of glue. Appreciate any help and thank you Hand sew leather video

I have a fairly new hand crank, 6" blade Cowboy Leather Splitter. This leather splitter is in fantastic working and physical condition. The blade is very sharp, it is oiled up and ready to split. It was an impulse buy on my part. I haven't used it much as I thought I would, since I bought it. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about it. I'm willing to sell it for $1100 (not including shipping) I paid $1395 +tax for it. If you live in the Dallas, Texas area you are more than welcome to come check it out or pick it up. I will be willing to ship, at the buyers expense. It's pretty heavy, and I'm not to sure how much shipping would cost, but if you are interested I could find out.

Hey all, Just wondering what size (mm) tiger thread is recommended for 8 spi. I read a post that suggested .8 mm for 8 spi. Just wondering if anyone else has tested this. I am currently using tandy's craftool pro 8 spi chisel. What would be the advantages/disadvantages of going smaller to say, .6 mm thread? Thanks! Zayne

Hi, I have a relatively simple leatherworking job that I'm looking to offer to someone either in/near Norfolk, Virginia, or Portland, Oregon (I live in VA, but the majority of my business is located in OR). I have a straightforward wallet design that I need someone to construct. I'm considering two methods of manufacture. 1) Having the leather laser-cut (including stitch holes) and then hand sewn. 2) Having the wallets die-cut and sewn by machine. Either way, the requirements will be relatively basic. If you live in or near Virginia or Oregon, and have an interest in this work, please let me know by personal message. Further, if you have contact information for someone or some business that may be interested in this work, please forward it to me. FYI, this job probably will not begin for the next few months, but I'm trying to get things in order now. Also, I'm currently at sea with the US Navy, so my response time may be delayed. Thanks!

I have a hand press with an assortment of dies for sale. This press is still being manufactured, so the dies are readily available. Minkus Margo sells over 50 types and sizes of dies that include dies for setting snaps, grommets, eyelets, punching holes in leather, setting rivets, setting spots aka nailheads, setting spikes, and setting lots of shapes of decorative rivets. Allstarco also sells dies that fit this press. The brass dies listed here are from Allstarco. They are used for setting rim sets for adding crystal rhinestones to your projects. They also work great for setting spots. This is a great press and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to add decorative elements to their projects. I am a full time professional leather worker. I bought the press and dies when I was starting out. I'm only selling it because I am investing in a larger multi feed foot press so I can work more efficiently. Here is a listing of what is included along with the retail value Hand Press - $114 7mm die for setting spots (approximately 1/4") - $34.99 6mm die for setting rhinestone chatons - $52.99 7mm die for setting rhinestone chatons - $52.99 8mm die for setting rhinestone chatons - $52.99 10mm die for setting rhinestone chatons - $52.99 6 mm die for setting rhinestone rivets - $39.99 Brass die for SS 20 rim set rhinestones - $38 Brass die for SS 30 and SS34 rim set rhinestones - $38 Unopened bag of 300 7mm spots - $10.50 I will send along the crystal chatons that are left for you to practice with. I will sell the whole package for $275 shipping included anywhere in the US. I have attached an image of the press & dies and some examples of items I have made with it.

Hello all, I am looking for a good quality hand heat embosser. I emboss mostly vegetable tanned lamb nappa and camel leather. I need something with which I can emboss initials. I bought one from Hong Kong and it was flimsy and far too long. Anything US made or european made if there is such a thing would be ideal. Thank you in advance. L

Reverse side of stitch, so thread is reversed: Tiger, then 132, 332,532 linens. This side is more dependent on the awl and my ability to control it than the pricking iron, with the exception of the last row, which used a punch to go completely through the leather. YinTx© YinTx

Made a wallet using two things I hadn't gotten to use yet... maybe should not have used them together, but the result was interesting. Big thread, small hole! 332 Campbell's Satin Laid Linen thread, and Joseph Dixon #10 pricking irons. Slow going for sure. 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.
