Leathercrafting Creations: PYC

[jackandcoke]

I wanted to to make a chain similiar to this ironheart leather chain and

was wondering if you leather guru's can tell me what to use to

fasten the leather to itself, on the natural one it would be the small

silver bands... any info/help would be appreciated

[aleopold]

pretty sure that is just waxed thread, but i might be wrong.

I built this belt to fit a Cobra quick release buckle. It's 9 oz. Horsehide and made like a rifle sling.

[ashkaun]

Haha so I'm guessing most of you have the wholesale hook-up.

but if you're like me and don't,

Tandy is having a sale during august, veg tanned single shoulders are like $20 along with some other sale stuff

here's the flyer.

page 8 tells you what locations are participating.

now then, If i want some light-weight veg tanned leather, like 2-3 oz, am I out of luck unless I can find a way to buy like a whole side from tandy?

Or do you guys have other suggestions?

[mikecch]

^^ Scott, I must get a horse-hide belt from you sometimes - that Cobra buckle looks interesting too.

Does anybody know where you can buy black 3/16" eyelets locally, Tandy doesn't carry black eyelets and I only need around 10-20 of them. Thanks.

[ashkaun]

Just finished making my wallet. I'm not super happy with how it turned out, i feel like it's a little big in my back pocket, but hey. It was fun to make.

I'm gonna trim the lacing after I maybe add some beads and knot them.

Anyone know where to get a good leather wallet for around 30.00. If you do could you pm me . Thx

I bought some leather from local Michael store and want to tie it to the zippers of my backpack. How do I go about doing this? Just a simple tie...tried super glue to no avail. Did not like the braiding (too busy looking). Do I need to buy some kind of tool? First timer working with leather

Have you checked Harbor Freight? I think I've seen them there.

I just got back home, awesome stuff going in this thread as always.

The more I do it, the happier I am with my burnishing.

STONE OIL COWHIDE LEATHER SUPERIOR QUALITY

This leather has a deep richness because it has been treated with oils, waxes and dyes in such a way that when the leather is pulled or stretched, the finish becomes lighter in the stretched areas. Creating an “Old World†effect and “Aged†look.

An inspiration from the 50s bridge builder, who use similar pouch to store bolts and nuts.

'Market Wallet' theme.

Able to hold coins, loose notes, some cards and also a hook for keychain.

Idea is to travel light on short market trips, grocery shopping, relaxing at nearby cafes... Just hook on your keychain, slot in the neccessary cards, dump in some small notes and you are ready to go

OG - the brown leather looks tasty, to say the least.

Did you buy strips of lace? Look up some basic knots. I have lace tied to the zippers of my backpack just by simple hangman knots. Very simple, not-too-ugly, and wont come off by itself.

Yeah! Just like Hollow's link to Tandy. You can purchase alphabet stamps from online or any local leather stores.

Thanks Beatle!

Made my first coin pouch yesterday, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. There's an additional flap on the inside that tucks behind the coins to prevent spillage, and the whole thing feels really tight and secure, with more capacity than you would think.

[Quirky Beaver]

Jebus. Your craftsmanship is stunning.

[ashkaun]

so, this is more of a small questions type thing, but hey, definitely leathercrafting related so here we go:

where do you guys get your hardware and stuff? I'm trying to find a small-ish zipper in aluminum or another silver metal and I cannot find it local.

tandy only carries heavy-duty zippers, and my local fabric store only has the right size zippers in nylon/plastic or in brass.

i'm guessing the guys who do this on a non-wholesale basis would be the best to ask this of, but hey, any ideas could help.

The best place I've found to buy zippers is at Military Surplus stores. The one near me has a lot of vintage Talons and Conmatics.

[jackandcoke]

Didn't wanna spend $110 on an ironheart reign, so i made my own.

I've had a few people interested in the hooks, which i bought at a local hardware store, if I get enough people interested (PM me) I will grab a bunch and sell them on here... first come, first serve basis. I will see how much he has left.

[aleopold]

^ what is that leather style called if i were searching to purchase?

[ashkaun]

^^ what's the name of the hardware store? maybe we have something similar where i live.

[jackandcoke]

shitty iphone pics, but will post on my Nikon when it's done...Can anyone let me know what kind of stitching is used on wallets like tanner/corter?
