Brass looks good, but the phillips screw heads strip out real easy. They are your one stop hardware shop Thank you for your help BRL - to confirm, is this the t-stud you buy from McMaster-Carr? Item #90975A007? Do you have to trim the barbs any to prevent them from poking through the leather? Quote Eric Adamswww.adamsleatherworks.com | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram

You have to apply sealers after all of the forming is done, otherwise it won't properly absorb water for the forming process. I airbrush the dyes on the individual pieces, assemble, wet, form, dry, oil, burnish, then finish - in that order. Quote Eric Adamswww.adamsleatherworks.com | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram

Yours looks so clean I was just thinking maybe you seal it forst. Quote
