R,

I do leather full time!( and i wanna see some pics!)

And Alex, leather cuff and wristband and leather bracelet are all interchangeable... I think!

Sorry to interrupt, but a cuff tends to be larger -look at tandy's[..or hidecrafter's, I forget which], "cowboy cuff pattern pack"- you'll see the difference. They are almost gauntlet or bracer size, vs the wristband, which is very narrow, by comparison (generally 1" to probably no greater than 2"to 3"). This was always my understanding.

hmmm - lots of NY'ers here, as opposed to the wealth of saddle makers and horse/farm western types that usualy inhabit the leather crafter world- FYI- I am a NY'er (born and bred) who bailed and moved to Stamford CT in 90...a move for the better for me...

Hi Fred,

My profile says Atlantic City,which is where I live. Also live in New York, Queens. I work in williamsburg area, Bedford Ave. & Metropolitin Ave. Good to see leathercrafters in NY...

[esantoro]

Do any of you new yorkers, transplants and all, know of a good place in the city to get rivets, buckles, and dees? what about a good place to get 6" skiving blades sharpened?

Thanks,

Ed

Hey Ed,

I rarely buy anything in the city.

I deal with Weaver for 90% of my hardware and leather although i'm looking for alternatives.

Steve B, I'll be making that move to the rural parts at some point. I'm sure it'll be good for me too.

The city can consume you(me) with the latenights and such. Btw, Great work man!

Alex, You too have nice clean work!

Freddie, thanks for the kudos. That's real nice of you to say.

BTW, that clutch/cuff combo you have posted on your site is incredible. You really took the lines to the next level on that one with all those curves and recurves. Sweet. :beer:
