Members pitman Posted June 15, 2008 Members Report Posted June 15, 2008 Hallo - I'm from Poland and I start with leather work in this year. If someone can help me - I'm looking some stuff in web about leather lacing for another project. Thx Quote
Members rustyriggin Posted June 15, 2008 Members Report Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the site, those are some beautiful sheaths, great work, and as far as info on lacing, if you can't find what you need to know from the folks on here, then it can't be done. Welcome again, Rusty Edited June 15, 2008 by rustyriggin Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted June 15, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 15, 2008 Welcome to leatherworker. Really beautifu work you have done. Thank you for sharing those pictures. You will probably need to ask a little more specific question on lacing. Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted June 15, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted June 15, 2008 pitman, welcome to the fourm, it's great to have new people show up each day from all parts of the world. It gives us all perspective as to how things are done in diferent parts of the world. Your work looks really nice, very well constructed, thanks for posting. Regarding lacing, if you ask a question about anything in the "How Do I Do That" section of the forum, many people will give you answers and help you out. Ken Quote
TomSwede Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Hi and welcome Pitman! Fancy sheaths you got there! This place got some stuff on braiding:http://www.btinternet.com/~kingsmerecrafts/ If you can find a copy of Bruce Grants book Leather braiding (available through Tandys) you have some intense braiding ahead of you.

Members pitman Posted June 15, 2008 Author Members Report Posted June 15, 2008 TomSwede - thank you, I was looking this web site for 4 weeks :] because I forgot. Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted June 16, 2008 Members Report Posted June 16, 2008 Great work for someone who just started in the last year... glad you joined us! I have Polish heritage, and am interested in seeing all that is being done with leather in Poland. Hope to see lots more of your work, and that of other artisans in Poland as well. Kate Quote
Ambassador Don101 Posted June 16, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Pitman welcome to the forum, they are some top notch sheaths you have made there, Don Quote
Members TheTrooper Posted June 16, 2008 Members Report Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Pitman, nice sheaths you make ! Nice to have you aboard. I have a question. Where do you get your materials such as thread, closure & fasteners ?? Do you have a salesman in Poland ?? Keep up the good work. Cheers, Marcel Quote
Members pitman Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Report Posted June 16, 2008 Hallo We have only shops for cobblers or vesicles. Leather craft isn't popular in Poland. I don't know any site in polish about this hobby. Every thing what I have, I bought on ebay :/ Quote
Members JimmyFTW Posted June 23, 2008 Members Report Posted June 23, 2008 Those sheaths are cool!Great job Quote
ArtS Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Beautiful work. It looks like you've been doing leather work much longer than a year! ArtS Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted June 23, 2008 Moderator Report Posted June 23, 2008 Mile widziany do umiejscowienie , i zadowolony wobec mieć ty tutaj. Twój praca jest bardzo dobry pod kątem pewien nowy leatherworker. Dobry dzień! Johanna Okay, I cheated (thanks Daddy & an online translator!) What I said was "Welcome to the site, and glad to have you here. Your work is very good for a new leatherworker." Looking forward to seeing more. Johanna Quote
esantoro Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Welcome, Pitman. Nice work. I'd also like to know where in Eastern and Central Europe one could by all necessary supplies. My fiancee is Polish and would prefer to live in Poland than the US. I also like the idea of running the leather business from Poland but not sure about taxes and supply sources. Ed Quote
Members pitman Posted June 23, 2008 Author Members Report Posted June 23, 2008 In Poland for 100% we don't have any "leather craft" shop. All what we need is from internet or cobblers shop. In USA, i think, leather crafting is a kind of folk, like for example, embroidering at the polish mountains. Quote

In USA, i think, leather crafting is a kind of folk, like for example, embroidering at the polish mountains. I was thinking that leather crafting might be something done in the Tatries, the Polish mountains, but, as you say, their thing is embroidering. Maybe this is all the more reason to start up a leather business in Poland. Quote
Members pitman Posted July 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 2, 2008 I've made a sheath for my new knife /my first custom knife made for me by polish knife maker/. Black oak on hand. Quote
TomSwede Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Very nice and clean sheath, just the type that proves that proves that sometimes "less is more". The white stitching is very nice going with the white snake inlays. Like the symmetrical shape of it too. Tom Quote
Grunt Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Very nice work indeed! Welcome to the forums! If you have not seen these websites yet, you may want to look at them http://www.knifemakers.pl/ http://www.customknives.pl/ I found out about these sites from another forum I belong to where some of our members are from Poland. Once again glad to have you aboard. Nick Quote
Members pitman Posted July 4, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 4, 2008 I know, I know - Im in. But there is a little about leather crafting. Sometimes about knives sheath only. I made this for tutorial and for my friends keys. Quote
Members Brumbie Posted July 12, 2008 Members Report Posted July 12, 2008 Hi Pitman, My wife was looking over my shoulder and wanted me to tell you that she graduated from High school in Legnica Poland in 1987. What area do you live in? Extremely nice work you do. Quote
Members Rolf Posted August 24, 2008 Members Report Posted August 24, 2008 Very nice work pitman! What sewing machine are you using? Quote
Members pitman Posted August 26, 2008 Author Members Report Posted August 26, 2008 Hands and 2 needles :] /I wan't to buy machine for thin leather. For wallets, belts etc. / Quote
