Members braider Posted June 15, 2006 Members Report Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Greetings from a leather braider. I am just trying out this new forum and I'm hoping it all goes well for everyone. Below is an example of my work. You're welcome to visit my web site Anderson Leather Braiding at http://andersonleather.com/ I found the enlargement of this thumbnail is a better/correct picture of it.

Members wildrose Posted June 18, 2006 Members Report Posted June 18, 2006 That is amazing work! How long does a project like that take you to complete? Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members braider Posted June 19, 2006 Author Members Report Posted June 19, 2006 Hi wildrose... I've been building these for a long time now and it's still hard to give that estimate. I've found that even when making the same bag - it can vary quite a bit in time. I can make most all my bags in a work day - albeit some, like this one, are a rather long work day. ...Dave Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/

It's tough when customers as me that very question...sometimes I think they want to know so they can guess if they're getting their money's worth? I guess as you do it more and more it gets easier, but in some ways it's still time consuming no matter what. Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members braider Posted June 19, 2006 Author Members Report Posted June 19, 2006 Probably a more appropriate way to put it is "It's taken me over 35 years to be able to make it in a long day." ...Dave Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/
Members Jay Posted June 24, 2006 Members Report Posted June 24, 2006 I went to your website, wow, excellent stuff. I especially like what you did to the Corvette and of course the biker stuff as well. Quote

Admin Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Dave, c'mon...please...post some more pictures... You are teasing us! Dave is an expert braider, stitcher, maker etc. and I'm really glad he's here. I would love to sit at his elbow and learn to do some of the things he does! He's rather modest, but I'd try to coax him into showing off somehow. AT- good to see you, too! If anyone is in the market for a quality knife, check with AT first. It's your own fault if your knife is ugly. (I'm still carrying my Billy Downs oosik knife.) I have no idea how the other mothers get by without a decent pocket knife, or why I am the only mom who carries one? Jay, I hope you saw the addition to the board I made at your suggestion. I'm looking forward to your post there! I am tickled to see you guys here. C'mon, Dave, show us more...

Members braider Posted June 25, 2006 Author Members Report Posted June 25, 2006 Thank you for all the compliments about my work. Here is an example of the vests that I build. This one happens to be for re-sale. I think the owner out grew it. If anybody is interested in it I'd be happy to put you in touch with the guy. It fits a 45" chest. ...Dave Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/
Admin Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Wow. I want one in black, with fringe, and an inside pocket. Anything we can barter with, Dave? Or will you accept a payment plan for the next 50 years or so? The guy should go on a diet rather than not get to wear that vest!
