Frankqv Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 More laser cut kits. Although these kits are supplied with stitch holes, we can supply without stitch holes, which would include reference holes to line up pieces for machine sewing.The complete stitch hole kits have the needles, thread and all hardware/zippers ?installed where applicable. We are constantly updating and creating more products. Any suggestions ? https://franksclassicleather.com/shop/ols/products/long-wallet-kit https://franksclassicleather.com/shop/ols/products/natural-skirting-beltshoulder-bag-kit https://franksclassicleather.com/shop/ols/products/3-compartment-hand-stitched-wallet-kit https://franksclassicleather.com/shop/ols/products/flap-style-wallet-and-card-holder-kit https://franksclassicleather.com/shop/ols/products/buck-110-style-holster-sheath Quote

Seems to me that although you have some very nice products, most of us here are makers not buyers. Links, given time, will not work, plus this post will be buried somewhere on the site and difficult to find. I would suggest purchasing a banner ad like those shown above, so you will stand a better chance of reaching more people. Quote
Frankqv Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Posted March 13, 2021 Was kinda asking for opinions on what might be a good kit for the aspiring leatherworker. These kits are aimed at the fella who doesn’t have room for a complete workshop. We do have a handful of local people who purchase,tool or stamp and sell at craft shows as an added to their other products. Sorry,wasn’t trying to sell just looking for feedback,and I appreciate your feedback. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted March 14, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I'll come back to this, but in the meantime 1. those sewing holes look awfully big. can you reduce them, a lot? 2. how about some simple and cheap kits for scouts? I believe the scouts in the US are big on doing leatherwork. The only real competitor for you I know of who makes kits is Tandy and imo they really over-charge for what you get Edited March 14, 2021 by fredk Quote
Frankqv Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 Thanks for the feedback. The holes are .05” (1.27mm) The thread is 1 mm,it’s a pretty tight fit if you look at finished product,but yes I can make them smaller.Yes we putting together a program aimed at Scouts/Campfire ect. Quote
Frankqv Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 We don’t want it to look like a Tandy boys scout kit.We want a nice finished product. Maybe a simple knife sheath for a scouts first pocket knife.between 5-$7 dollars Quote

When I use 1 / 1.1mm thread I sew thru 0.8mm holes with a 1mm needle, but thats a punched hole which doesn't remove leather. On your holes I'd be using 1.5mm or even 2mm lace 25 minutes ago, Frankqv said: We don’t want it to look like a Tandy boys scout kit.We want a nice finished product. I'm sure it would be. I reckon Tandy's scouts' kits have been around since Baden-Powell's first scout troop Quote
