Members company6leather Posted August 10, 2013 Members Report Posted August 10, 2013 i have been tooling leather for about 6 months now and have taken a few pieces to a local trade day/swap meet type event and i am starting to get people wanting my work. so i have decided to get into leatherwork deeper and start making more stuff to sale. my question is i am having trouble deciding on a good weight for leather i make things such as wallets, guitar straps, and fire helmet fronts. as for wallets and guitar straps what are some good weights of leather for these items? any help is much appreciated!

mlapaglia Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 Personally I use 3-4 for wallets unless its a trucker wallet than I use 4-5 or 5-6. Guitar straps I use 6-7 or 8-9 depending on the guitar and what I have around. Others might use different weights. Quote
