What are those screws called? I'm familiar with Chicago screws, but have never seen them with recessed heads before.

 

Very nice work!

They are a washer and a chamfered screw.  No idea what the technical name is for them, sorry.

I would pay for a video of your edging process! Absolutely Gorgeous!

Funny you mention that, there is a video on my website, www.learnleather.com, but I'll tell you the secret.  Cut the final shape with a sharp knife as opposed to trying to line up the pieces.  Nothing is smoother than a freshly cut edge.  Then bevel with slightly moist leather.  After that, its just dye, burnish wax and sand.  Repeat as necessary..

Very classy.

Lets see what thing you make for the bigger thing that those smaller things go into!

Double stack 9mm things? for what big thing?

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.

The screws are pozi-drive [or Phillips drive] counter-sunk head screws or machine screws set into screw cups - depends on what Mike has on the other side, if anything

I use brass screw cups to back yellow or gold rhinestone rivets and shiny nickle-plated ones for silver and coloured rhinestones. Holds em better and makes em look a bit bigger

And where do you get them? The screws and screw cups I mean.

Did you shade the edges a darker color, or is that a trick of the light? If you did, how did you do that? It makes it look very classy.

any regular hardware store will carry them in stock. The bigger the store, the greater the range of sizes and finish
