Members alex1811 Posted December 8, 2016 Members Report Posted December 8, 2016 Hi everybody, I am new to this forum and been for 16 years a leather crafter. I am from France but living in Vietnam with my wife and kid for the last 10 years. I have co-founded a shoe and leather good business here in Saigon. Glad to learn and share what I know on this forum. Cheers, Alex Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Posted December 8, 2016 Welcome to the forum. We would love to see some of your work. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

These last few years I have mainly been into small leather goods and I have also recently launched a pattern store for the leather crafters (I am progressively adding more styles) and a Youtube channel.

Dyes are from Kenda Farben an Italian leather finishing product company. The dye is applied with a piece of foam. Quote
