Members Yoman1415 Posted January 1 Members Report Posted January 1 (edited) Hi guys…recently got back into making my hand made leather tankards after about 20 years….trying to find a quicker and easier way of lining the tankards primarily…looking forward to chatting and learning more about leatherwork here on the forum. just thought I would add a couple of pics of my hand made tankards, just gotta clean up the base of these tankards, and they are done. hope u like them.🙂 Edited January 1 by Yoman1415 Quote
Members DieselTech Posted January 1 Members Report Posted January 1 Nice work. They look great. What do you typically use to line them with? Quote
Members OdinUK Posted January 17 Members Report Posted January 17 Very nice tankards. I used to make tankards but not the authentic looking ones like yours. I soaked them in a chip fryer with hot bees wax. When cool and buffed I would use some masking tape around the top edge and pour brewers pitch (bitumen type) into it and move it around until coated and pout out. Is that what you do or do you mix anything with your bitumen/pitch? Do you make your own patters or are they available somewhere? Quote Lord Of Leather
