scrapyarddog Report post Posted April 8, 2018 Hello All, Been working on leather for 7 months, found this forum full of information and fabulous works (and the advertisements for equipments sure made this a money pit). Working on briefcases lately! Decided to go for Wickett and Craig for this one. Very soft, and made work pretty easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrapyarddog Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Thank y'all. I was reading an online tutorial and realized the only thing that needed some studying was the gusset. Most other parts, if you know how to make a wallet, you can easily make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrapyarddog Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Didn't, I hate suede. However, I will line pig suede on one bag in July though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvanBrent Report post Posted April 24, 2018 Very impressive, thanks for posting, where did you find the Brass closure and hardware for this, to my knowledge we dont have anyone in this country doing that sort of thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Abbey England is one source. They ship super fast if the items are in inventory, though I've always worried about shipping cost as they don't declare the shipping cost when you check out online. Someone on Etsy sells them on and off as well but I think they charge $100.00 or so? There might also be an Italian company and a Hong Kong company that sell them but I've never contacted them. But, yup, you're right, I don't know any company in the USA that sell these locks. I wish they were more readily available. On 4/14/2018 at 9:31 AM, Retswerb said: Really nice work, scrapyarddog! Are you lining the inside? Turns out I lined a new piece with green cow suede split. Thick as hell... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
