Eas Eas....let's see, you said you were the NEW GUY to leather? Let's see....you carve better than I do, you tool better than I do, you sew better than I do, you bevel (I consider that a separate tool all on it's own) better than I do, you can do multiple designs, I do one, oh and you MOLD better than I do, oh lets don't forget cut better than I do. I think I will take up knitting, LOL. Beautiful and cool things. Quote
Members Eas Posted February 18, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2012 Well thank you alot !! both of you i dont think i do anything better than you do Double C .. but thats just my opinion. i have done some shopping at SLC and i got some realy awsome pieces of leather and some tools and a how to do belts description ( or whats it called). but im afraid to start..... i just think im gonna mess everything up so....i just sitt here and do nothing.. it did cost alot of money and thats why i think i just cant get to it.. I know deep inside that noone remebers a coward and i just got to get going... but its so damn hard to start. annyone got a tip or too ? Best regards Eas Quote
Members WinterBear Posted February 19, 2012 Members Report Posted February 19, 2012 Well, it won't do you much good if you never use the leather either, right? Take the plunge, have fun, and learn from it? As for tips, this is the best place I have found for when you need a little help. Whatever it is you want to make, there is someone here who can give you advice every step of the way. Quote
Members Tina Posted February 19, 2012 Members Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I have to ask....Where do I get myself one of these hammers (raven sledgehammer) ???? Att frysa inför första skärningen är inget ovanligt bara något man måste ta sig igenom, önskar dig all lycka till :-) Edited February 19, 2012 by Tina Quote
Members Eas Posted February 20, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 20, 2012 Tina. for the sledgehammer you must talk to an ironworker ( Smed) to see if they can make you one, cause i dont think you can find one by digging in the ground And YES im going to start on my belt today.... all i needed was a kick in the butt so thank you all /Eas Quote
