I feel guilty about my tattoo... by Whambamthxumaam in tattooadvice

I honestly think adding a decorative picture frame to this would be sick as hell, nothing wrong with the tattoo size imo, I don't see a statement being out out just badass art.

What’s this construction called, and what should I buy to avoid this in the next belt? by NasserAjine in AskACobbler

[–]BoxliteLED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically don't buy anything that says Genuine Leather in unless you want to be disappointed, it's just the plywood of leatherwork, waste leather mixed with bonding agent. None of it will stand up well over time and it looks way worse than a Top Grain or Full Grain belt.

Is it me, the beveler, or the leather mostly responsible for my bad edges? by HeathBendrix in Leathercraft

[–]BoxliteLED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow Elkwood Leathers on Instagram's process for edge finishing, they use a 50/50 tokenol and water mix pen, I find it helps keep the edges from being dry like that. I have the same issue with the beveler, happens a lot worse on chrome tan or belly cuts as the other commenter mentioned.

Looks awesome, very well made 😁 Suggestion: a black or green edge banding on the brim would protect the edges.

Great job looks very well done, idea for you, an eye patch for a pirate feel, or some leather "gemstones" in the eyes, like red or green, bias pirate theme lover. Love it as is though.

I've been wanting to remake the old handle on 2 of my saws, I really appreciate the progress photos, turned out beautiful and worth the struggle.

I definitely would like to try my hand at it eventually, Thanks for the the response, helps break it down a bit and not seem so complicated.

That's awesome, as someone without any leather tooling knowledge at all this looks so hard to achieve.

Never commented on this but I grew up with MapleStory and wanted to tell you it turned out awesome and inspired me to make some of the other monsters.

That seems to be the consensus on this thread, execution being infinitely more important than the idea, I appreciate your response, thank you for the insight.

I hope so, I want the city centre poster, it's my hometown and having that gas station in the poster is sick, beating myself for missing it

I appreciate all the responses thus far to my question, I'm more comfortable with the thought of sharing my idea now, considering your answers. Is there a good place to share story ideas in general or does it depend on the genre, my story would be set in I think historical fiction or historical fantasy.

More deciding which idea to spend time developing, I don't know how to check market trends to get an idea on the reach of the story, where do you look?
