Members royalgh Posted January 17, 2018 Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 I am here for a while but not posting yet, spend a lot of time to learn and practice with leather. Very kind people here share very useful information and I can find a lot of answers about everything and I am very thankful for that. My specialty is bracelets and different kind of leather custom accessories such as watch straps, waist bags,dog collars etc. This is some works I made before and appreciate your opinion about that.

Members Dun Posted January 17, 2018 Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 Welcome. Very nice edges and stitches! Quote
garypl Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Welcome Royal - you do good work! Look forward to seeing more of your projects. (PS - always nice to know what leather, thread, finish and machine, if any, you use in your projects!) Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members royalgh Posted January 17, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 Thank you. I am limited here with quality materials and tools because we haven't suppliers for leatherwork (dyes,finish etc) so I started my work with tools I made by myself and it is also good experience.For improving my work must import better quality. This products are all hand stitched, I have also nice Singer 45k in good condition but still have problems with some parts so waiting to fix that. Quote

garypl Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Look forward to seeing even nicer work when you have access to better tools and supplies! Although you are already making very nice projects! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Thank you Dun, edges are done with burnishers which I made and is not excellent but do the job, about stitches, well I learn a lot about that here on Leatherworker. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 That is some great work. I'm sure we would love to see some of your homemade tools. 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.

Members KittenThrasher Posted January 17, 2018 Members Report Posted January 17, 2018 Very nice work, I particularly like the nice clean contrasty stitching; slightly jealous of that. I'd also like to see some of your home made tools as well if you'd be willing, Well done, great work. Quote
Members Outfitr Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Posted February 2, 2018 Kuko si? Dobro work! Ha ha I'm serbian too and still remember some of the language. Both sets of grandparents migrated to the US. Anyway, nice work. I just started leather work myself. Someday I want to travel to Montenegro to see where my grandparents lived. Quote
Members DV8DUG Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Posted February 2, 2018 Love the work and of course would love to see these tools everyone is talking about. What is the first case for? Any particular item? It reminds me of my Dad's Sam Browne belt. It looks good. Nice work! Quote I think of Chinese food when I think of life; That's sweet and sour. My life is sweet as saccharin.

I have never seen one like it. Sorry for very very late answer. You will see procedure from photos. dimensions: straps-12-15mm wide, min.25cm long, thicknes 1.2-1.4mm , 11 holes-diam.-5 or 6mm.When you assembly straps roll it on the round edge of table to set braiding evenly. With practise you will find best measures for you.For ends you can put snaps or sam brown studs.Happy work. Quote

Members LetterT Posted June 21, 2018 Members Report Posted June 21, 2018 Looking at your workshop pics I just had an idea, you could use one of those magnetic knife holders for kitchen knives, fasten it to the wall and voila - instant tool holder. I have them in the kitchen and they are super handy, easy to take the knife and easy to place back. They should come cheap, I think you can even find them in Chinese goods stores. They would work only on metal tools, not so sure how it would work with awls and such. Quote
alpha2 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 thanks for the pictures of the straps. It looks like a type of bleed knot, I've only done them with slots, not round holes, but I'll have to try that. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
