royalgh Report post 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.

mikesc Report post Posted January 17, 2018 Very nice..I'm thinking all hand sewn ?..I like the "pick bracelet". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
royalgh Report post 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.

KittenThrasher Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outfitr Report post 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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LetterT Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
