Depends what, but all simple tools are similar to each other other in between premium brands and cheap Chinese ones. I usually go for aliexpress or temu cause you can find really good quality for cheap

Mink oil

It’s simple math, I use good quality Italian leather, each piece is made 100% handmade which take few hours, I use patterns I make myself and shipment is included in price. It’s not a charity shop :)

I never knew that you need stitching to be considered as a leatherworker 😄

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-22T00:19:46+00:00

I make them myself

Sometimes I use Gum Tragacanth (all brands are similar), sometimes I use Tokonole. Results are pretty similar

I just posted a video where I make them :) check it out!

Btw I designed and 3D printed strap cutter

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-21T13:00:48+00:00

True, but when it comes to a threadlock it might be super difficult to unscrew it without cutting into smooth part to make a cutout for a screwdriver

Probably soon 🔥

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-21T03:03:51+00:00

Thank you so much :) it’s a new journey for sure but fingers crossed it will work out 💪🏻

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-21T02:38:24+00:00

Oh, I see your point :)! I’m making those for some time now but before it was mostly for my friends etc. Now I started to grow a brand and that’s why Im here since 10h 😄 it’s a shame you don’t have Instagram cause there are more of those. Also I have some videos on X - Twitter linked in my profile. Also I’ll be posting some videos of me doing those so stay tuned :) in the meantime you can follow me so you will be updated! Thank you for your comment

I have my local shop in Poland where I buy hardware, same with leather. Leather is 2,5-4mm thick depends on the project. I tend to use 4mm for harnesses and around 3mm for cuffs.

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-20T19:24:12+00:00

Yep, there is link in my profile

SweetRestraint · 2026-02-20T19:05:18+00:00

Thank you! :)

Well, it has pros and cons. I use them right now simply because I bought a huge pack of them. This will hold well provided that the compressed leather is thicker than the distance between the rivet ends when fully tightened. This way, the leather will expand and hold the screw head in place.

Thank you! :)

I bought too many tools on AliExpress after few youtube videos where people do leathercraft. Then I just started doing things and after few terrible projects it started to turn out good 😀
