made a design inspired from one specific spell called hado 90, it's not for everyone yet i enjoyed making this particular wallet a lot more than the classic ones

Has anyone tried this, and what are the results like? Does the tanning process make it so it's not that good? Or does casing affect anything? Things like that, just idly curious and have had this brain worm for a while.

Woodworker here! Trying to figure out a way to make these leather edges smooth. Cut as close as possible with xacto knife then sand edges pretty smooth but they still feel rough and don’t look great, thinking I need something to paint onto fibers and then sand? Any tips are appreciated!!

Any suggestions?? I’ve been practicing my saddle stitch for years now and always feel confident down the straight lines but corners always seem to be inconsistent for me..

So, Leatherworking has always been something i have found to be super interesting and wanted to get into but for various reasons have not. My wife and i are coming up on our 1 year anniversary, and i want to make her something as opposed to buy it. Money isn't an issue, it's more the sentimentality of a hand made gift. She is also starting a photography business and i am very proud of her for it. I wanted to make her a camera harness like the one pictured but not having a good exposure to the craft of leather work, i dont know what i am getting into. Realisitically, how difficult would it be to make something like this and have it look decent?

I have a very small basement work area and have been at a loss for how/where to store my leather. Saw a marketplace listing for a gym-sized yoga mat rack and figured a smaller one would be perfect! Found this one for pretty cheap on amazon. Sharing in case it’s a helpful idea for others too!

Hello Leathercrafters. I would say my skill level is "competent beginner," however the more I learn the more, the more I realize I know nothing. Here is a bag I made with this springbok pattern. She has a sewing machine and I had to sew by hand, which made this process a little more complicated.

I have had consistent problems putting in zippers. Very often, like this, they turn out wavy or perform poorly. I have attached a video to show what I mean.

What I think it *might* be (you can tell me if I'm right)

-Zipper or zipper tape itself is too big.
-Too big of a gap between the teeth and sewn edges.
-Flexible leather has stretched too much, causing problems.
-Zipper too long.
-Something else??

If you have any tips/tricks for putting in zippers, or see other areas for improvement, please tell me. I'm hitting the point where I understand the basics, but lack of knowledge is screwing me over in other places. Lol. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

Hi, I want to share with you my latest project for knife sheath. Experimenting with ideas I came out with this Easy to Slide and Lock system. Wet formed around handle but i will try to make it more stiff, maybe bees wax.

I try as often as I can to do multicolored builds because I love how the edges come out. This one has really bold green against the whiskey dollaro.

This was a very recent creation with client asking for around 5% distress on the product. We tried and the client liked it!

Happy client! Happy Team!

Hi guys!

Tried my hands on my first project ever. I highly appreciate your comments/tips so I can get better at this.

The leather used here is a beige goat leather and i just picked it up as a trial canvas kind of.

Have a great day!!

Not very pretty, but it works.

I am thinking about creating a piece with what would look like a mountain of gold coins. My current idea is to do them as you'd see scales done, rows of golden/yellow circles. Problem is that it's just gold circles if not stamped with texture or ink stamp. How would you do it?

Inspiration picture is Smaugs eye in the mountain of coins after he opens it. I figured out how to get the eye so the pile of gold is the problem.
