Members TinkerTailor Posted May 21, 2015 Members Report Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Here is a couple of pics of a baseball stitch i did for a commission to design a custom leather mounting solution for a titanium bicycle lock. The thing rattled and chipped paint really bad with the factory mount. This is done with 7 oz chrome tan wax stuffed leather and .06 tiger thread. I had to use the tiger cause the lock model is the TiGr...... It took alot of force to wrap leather that thick around a curve that small. I think it turned out good. I just need to refine the strap ends and hardware and she is done. My bike is dirty.......

Members daviD A Morris Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 BKM, That makes sense, I'd never analysed it like that. And I just assumed all right handers who were taught in the trade lay the stitches the same way. Saddlers' pricking irons are all layed the same way, however "port-manto" pricking irons used by lugage and case makers go the other way. They prick both sides of their work.

Members Joon1911 Posted May 27, 2015 Members Report Posted May 27, 2015 I don't know if it's perfect... although it looks damn good to me. This is one of a few bags I have made by hand. -Andy Andy, Can you share with me what sort of stamps/ tooling are you using to get the background effect on the flap of the bag? Thanks. -Joon Quote "Make every product better than its ever been done before. Make the parts you cannot see as well as the parts you can see.
