Chance1234 Report post Posted March 13, 2014 Hi, Been lurking of the forum for a while so thought I would say hi. Took up leather work a few months back and starting to get into the swing of it - though lots to learn still! regards Chance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leatherjo Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Hi! What kind of leatherwork are you interested in? Your website is about cufflinks -- are you going to do leather cufflinks? (Is there such a thing?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chance1234 Report post Posted March 16, 2014 You do indeed get leather cufflinks, but that is not my interest. I am mainly interested in making leather belts and bracelets. I am also making some custom conchos as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatherjo Report post Posted March 16, 2014 Do you have any pictures of the conchos you have made so far? If so, can you share them with us? You can probably just attach them to your message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chance1234 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Not too much to show at the moment as I am trying to work out best approach. Below are some bullets I soldered today with rivets which are now in the polisher, along with a novelty irish coin i put on a strap today in honour of St.Patricks day. I've also got sitting int he polisher at the moment some old penny farthings which I have domed and added rivets to. When they are polished I will post some pics Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatherjo Report post Posted March 17, 2014 The strap with the coin is beautiful! Is the coin embedded in the strap or does it sit on top of the strap? Keep up the great work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chance1234 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 It sits on top you can see the back on the coin in the photo below. On the next batch I did for these I spaced them out more horizontal but keeping a lsightl diagonal so it sits better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
