Members dlmartemcouro Posted December 21, 2009 Members Report Posted December 21, 2009 Hello friends. This is my recent work. Staining was done with aniline, I was not satisfied with the result. I wonder how it is done the correct use for dyeing with aniline. All suggestions and opinions are welcome. Thank you very much. Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 I've never used aniline dyes, so I can't give you any input there. The construction and tooling are both top shelf. Great looking bag that anyone would be proud to own. Did you use a pattern or was it of your own creation? Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Quote
hidepounder Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Really nice job on the briefcase! Stitching, tooling, everything is very well done. Is it lined? Also curious about what machine you used to sew everything. Looks very good! Bobby Quote
Members arbalet12 Posted December 21, 2009 Members Report Posted December 21, 2009 Very serious work Quote
Members Storm Posted December 21, 2009 Members Report Posted December 21, 2009 A superb piece of carving and construction. Good flow on the pattern and well executed. The edging is very nice indeed. It is a masterpiece and something that anyone would be proud to claim as their own. The color would, for myself, be superb. What did you expect to get in the way of color might be a better start to helping you. My understanding of Aniline dyes is that they are more of a large scales method of coloring an entire prepared side of leather. Might you tell me where you are from so that I may have a better idea as to how to help answer your question. To demonstrate what I am saying,,,,,if you are not satisfied with this briefcase then I would be more than happy to take it off your hands. Just Email me and I will give you my address. I would even be more than happy to for its shipping. I would also promise that it would find a good home with me. Storm Quote

King's X Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Really top notch work. Nice replication of the C. Hape's work. The flow is great to the semi-trained eye (me), of course. Happy Holidays Quote

Members laney1566 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Report Posted December 22, 2009 I have been told by those around me that I do good work. But when I see something like this.....I am awestruck!!! You have set the bar very high. It's funny that when people look at this executive bag, they won't even realize that the hand stitching is probably the most difficult part to make look that clean. YOU ARE a sewing machine because you fooled the experts!! Keep it up!! Quote
Members LuisPaulo Posted January 27, 2010 Members Report Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Congratulations Danilo !!!!!! Maybe... Someday.... Ill do something like that... lol Edited January 27, 2010 by LuisPaulo Quote
Members AgronZoti Posted February 1, 2010 Members Report Posted February 1, 2010 That is trully great work, I love to see hand stitching work that people cant see is hand stitched. Man is the greatest and most versatile machine I say. I will try and answer your question. Aniline dye and here I thing that you mean, that you used spirit dye. Spirit dye is designed to be soaked in to the material so that it is colored all the way thru leather. The problem using it like you did, is that it will run in to areas were you don’t want it. If I should give you any advice is that you try and use a generous amount of neetfootsoil then ably antique stain to the areas with a brush if you are really fanatical about perfection. You can also rub the stain in with a cloth on the entire area and use a clean damp cloth to remove the stain on the high points. This will give a dry brush effect. But do try both methods and some scrap before you play around on a masterpiece like that. Quote
