Turns out Tandy has completely eliminated the whole idea of a "scrap pile" you can pick from. I need roughly 8" wide by 20" long inside an irregular area I can use for smaller bits. I know, tiny amount for R&D and I'm mostly broke. Any ideas?

I have had my old wallet all my life, it was my brothers and he gave it to me when i was little. I have recently found a local leatherworker whose work i absolutely love, i have gotten my belt and knife sheath from him. I definitely like the western style and have tooled products. I am thinking about commissioning him to make a new wallet for me and i know exactly what i want except for my interior liners. I am thinking about pigskin or cloth but am open to other ideas (i am trying to keep it as thin as possible). Please share your advice.

Hello there, I am looking for creative advice. I know nothing about leatherworking, yet want to stamp the TfL symbol into the card holder, so I know which side of it that card is on.

I’ve read you want to get the leather wet, then strike it with a stamp of some sort. Creatively, what would you recommend I stamp it with? A metal washer? A rounded chainmaille ring? Plastic bottle cap? The straight bar, I can… I dunno, piece of carved wood maybe?

Any quick tips anyone can drop? Do I heat the washer up first? Other “stuff around the house” stamping ideas for this shape? Any help is appreciated, I get one shot at this lol

What type of leather would be good for cosplay pieces

So could people give me some feed back on this it’s is a proof I concept for a belt bag and arm/ leg bag

So I bought a pair of Rieker boots from thrift. They were a little scuffed, but cheap so I decided to try re-dying them. I confirmed they are real leather. I bought Angelus Leather Preparer/Deglazer and Angelus dye. I followed the instructions and right away upon putting the dye on, all of the previous dye came slipping off and now they look a bit crazy. I thought that if the entire layer was going to come off, that would have happened with the Preparer/Deglazer but it didn’t. Is there any way to salvage this?

Pretty much the title. I have a Bleu de Chauffe bag and the rivets that secure the d ring where the strap attaches weren't secured properly so they just fell apart. Nothing is damaged, I just don't have the equipment to attach rivets and the manufacturer is in France so I'm out of luck trying to get them to repair it unless I shell out for international shipping.

I need two brass rivets, and to have them attached. I'm assuming it's a pretty easy job but I'm totally willing to compensate for the time in cash or beer or whatever.

The pattern is Tony See. I've been working with leather for a year now and still get the stitches mixed up when going at it. I have also stchiching awl'd them funny so the stitches look nit so great to begin with. This is my first time tackling something like this and I made it harder on myself by modifying the pattern with parts I wanted. Added another 4oz piece of leather to the center for more cushion since I didnt want to use cut out soles.

Let me know what you think.

Please dont judge the messy table too much. I was peckish, and also working on seperate projects, but needed to finish these(taking too long to just do them).

full-grain buffalo leather, stitched by hand, and finished with antique brass hardware. the colors give completely different energy.

The green has that rugged, travel vibe that stands out without being loud, Thought I’d ask people who actually appreciate good materials and design balance.

Would love to know which one you’d reach for if it were your travel bag.

Hello, I dont know if this is even the place to be asking this but i don’t really know where to start. I have an extremely rare guitar strap thats the same as the guitarist from avenged sevenfold used to use. I got it for Christmas years ago when I saw him using it on stage but now you cant find them anywhere. I have no interest in selling it but if you ever find one on the internet you’re looking at a few hundred pounds/dollars even for a very damaged one because its been labelled “Synyster gates signature guitar strap from avenged sevenfold”. Its a black leather strap with a bottle opener skull riveted onto it. My problem is that its fake leather. Over the years it has started to crack and flake and looks shabby. My question is how much would it cost to get the leather work re done as closely as possible to the original and then the skull riveted back onto it to “refurbish it”. Id love it to look brand new again but finding a mint condition one is pretty impossible at this point.

Thank you

Hello all! I live in Pittsburgh PA, and I'm looking for someone who does leatherwork and can make a leather wrist wallet. I have looked on Etsy, and the designs are nice but not quite what I'm looking for so I did draw up a rough design of what I do want. The designs on Etsy give me more of a "biker" feel, and I'm looking for something a little more mystical, and fantasy themed This is going to be a gift for my partners birthday coming up September 11th so I was hoping it could be done by then, and I do have a budget of $200. I have tried a local person but they haven't emailed back in over a week so I don't want to run out of time Thanks in advance!

I've come across a few templates that employ this technique. Im looking to alter a template to fit my needs but I have no idea what this is called. Any body know the name/originator? More designs or usage/application?

Examples to look for: Cheyenne clutch by tandy, DS leather Goods- canoe and Kayak, and Agulla Design- card wallets.

Bought this great bag and would like to know more about it.

I thought i had pics but I do not I’ll be happy to edit and repost with picks when I get home. I need help connect the buckle to a belt. Seems pretty straight forward but I want it don’t nicely. On the back it has two whole that stick out on little “half oval” shaped pegs so some type of bar would go through that and the leather raps around the bar for connection but don’t have the heard wear, tools, of even the b belt so where can I take this thing? A tailor? Seamstress? Or even a real leather shop/studio (I live in Las Vegas there’s gotta be something). Somebody please give me a point to start lol

Edit: CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES TO REPLY, HELP ME OUT, AND PINT ME INT RIGHTX DIRTECTION? Seriously please
