WScott Report post Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) I like the edging details on this one Are you stitching or gluing the corners?? I can't tell from the photos I have made some with snap corners and rivets (in my gallery pics) The items on your web site look very professionally made Edited November 26, 2012 by WScott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinterBear Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Beautifully made valets with excellent attention to detail. Do you make them just in one size, or do you make them in different sizes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Report post Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Beautifully made valets with excellent attention to detail. Do you make them just in one size, or do you make them in different sizes? Hi sorry for delay, I missed your post! I have a preference on that size, because I think it's good for common uses, but I can make them all sizes, also rectangular (with some differences) thanks for looking Edited January 2, 2013 by Ash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryankim3612 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Just beautiful!! Question: What is the best way to make leather keep it's shape -like that (wonderful) roll on your Vallet's sides? Thank you in advance. Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks a lot! These are wet formed, and dried over the... radiator! I learnt (but maybe it could be wrong) that quicker drying keep better shape than slower, if I explained well what I mean... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Looks pretty awesome....I have made some leather valets for family and friends, but nothing as elaborate as your design. Bravo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryankim3612 Report post Posted January 3, 2013 I cannot stop thinking about this wonderful piece of art/furnature/tool/junk drawer that you make...........(!) two more questions please: What is the begining shape that you cut outta the leather, and what did you use to roll those fantastic pattered edges???? Thank you for blessing a dumb dumb like me with your experience.. Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Report post Posted January 3, 2013 thank you very much Ryan! the initial shape is simply a square, pinched and sewn in the middle of the sides the edges are embossed with an embossing wheel from Tandy, used with the Overstitch handle http://www.tandyleather.eu/en-eur/search/searchresults/8091-300.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
