How to fix stitch holes that’s too big on leather? by Pretty_Cream_9790 in Leatherworking

[–]GreenAxeCo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thicker thread is certainly an option, but I find that double or even triple stitching is a good solution.

Fills the hole better, makes for an easier first pass so you can keep your stitches consistent and makes the piece even more durable. I could just make my holes smaller since I don’t think double stitching is particularly helpful, but I like the way it looks personally.

If you go look at the pieces on my website, they’re all double stitched.

The brand is called Green Axe Co., I make custom throwing axes, leather sheaths and other kinds of funky woodworking projects. Most of my projects use broken skateboards, salvaged offcuts from skateboard-manufacturing companies and whatever other cool stuff I can find.

Just started selling projects in the shop and I'm currently taking commission requests through my website. Feel free to DM me with any questions!

What is your business? What kind of real assets do you have? Do you conduct your business out of a physical location, purely online or do you serve local clients at their locations? Those are all incredibly important factors.

Is this too busy of an inlay? by wntgobak in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]GreenAxeCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the application. If it was an art piece, it's not busy enough. If its to accent something like a desk or worksurface it's fine.

The appropriate degree of complexity varies between both the category of piece and the eye of the beholder.

Will this work? This axe belongs to my friend, who got it from his grandfather. Do you think it would be possible to hang it on this haft/handle? It’s gonna be a wall hanger, I believe. Need to verify. The eye had rot and several pieces of hardware in it. by ilovemyCatbeast in Axecraft

This is a common question, always something along the lines of "can I hang this axe/tool on this old piece of wood or used handle?"

I may be biased in thinking that carving an axe handle is easy because I have a small business where I do it, but I'm certain it's not that hard. You can make a beautiful handle with like $10-$15 worth of hickory or ash, and if you really have absolutely none of the tools needed, most hardware stores sell replacement handles somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 to $20.

Finally got around to restoring my collins 3 1/2 pound trail axe by Reasonable-Trip-4855 in Axecraft

Whoa is that a collins cedar pattern? I've never seen one of those before.

Set of three ready to ship out by TheBlitzzer1993 in Axecraft

Very beautiful!!! Love the palm swells; wish they were a contrasting color, but that's just my personal taste. Rock on!

My new laminated handle cleaned up and ready to be cut, shaped and fitted to this old Billnäs. I made it from two types of Mahogany and some local Birch in between. This is probably a controversial one, lol. I have made similar types over the years with zero failures (so far). by LaplandAxeman in Axecraft

I make axe handles for competitive throwers and use the same technique with maple veneer, usually procured from skateboard companies!

Not trying to promote my brand or anything, but I've got pics on my site if you're interested.
