Davy Report post Posted September 29, 2012 After a few years doing work for the mining industry with the occasional motor and boat trimming job here and there , then a couple of stints as a fitter and turner working on valves in Power Stations I have finally sold my share in a mining supply business and finally come to the realization after talking with family and friends that the one thing that I'm sorta good at but more importantly enjoy doing is making leather goods . So what I'm going to do now is start up my leather business again . And maybe with the help from my Aussie friends I can source some decent dyes and finishes as the last lot I purchased were that watered down they were unusable . I don't know how some companies can charge premium prices and deliver such rubbish . I need to buy some good polish to prep the leather prior to dying , some good quality antique , some Satin Seal if its still available for my final coat . Also a range of oils in various colors , equivalent to raven oil or waproo who I think sells raven oil now . I used to be able to buy dozens of different colors in 50ml bottles for example , Ox blood , burgundy , carmine , rose , red , cherry red , aquamarine , turquoise , light green , lime green , emerald green , green etc etc . It's kinda frustrating not knowing where to get the products that I need !! Any help would be appreciated . I hope some of you remember me , I posted in the forums a few years back , uploaded some embossing examples then disappeared . But a man has to put food on the table for his kids so sometimes you have to work at jobs that you don't necessarily like . Anyhow now I'm back , hopefully for the long haul and to reacquaint myself with all of the good people here at Leatherworker.net !!!! Cheers Dave .
