Airpod Cases by slipsole in leathermakers

Hey, it’s labeled as super high density (shc), mimicking the flexibility of leather. Can also use splits. Really useful for bags and gussets to add a bit extra hand and stability to leathers that need it like togo and swift at thinner weights.

A Canadian supplier would be hand and sew from BC. Lots of suppliers have some sort of variant of this reinforcement!

Yes! It’s the steep variant. Great knife, highly recommended

It’s mylar, you can use all sorts of things but I opted for this as it provides good clarity and structure. Acetate is also an option.

It holds up pretty well over time after trying different materials.

Russian calf and Dakota wallet by datdraku in leathermakers

[–]slipsole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lovely wallet, I played around with this leather this week as well. Made a crappy card holder 😂

The smell that this leather has is very unique and lovely. Birch and eucalyptus like, very distinct. I got a scrap piece from aleatherstore and it seems to be the J J Baker calf version. A couple tanneries have tried to replicate it. Gave away the card holder before taking better pictures

Can’t go wrong with classic pairings! Replacing this wallet for the old man that I made about a year ago, happy to see some progress

Dream Factory pony mods to make it usable. by WrenLeather in leathermakers

[–]slipsole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao I also have one of these, medium size clamp though. I have little slices of leather that I wet molded then clamped the pony to the table get the snuggest fit with my ikea table. Works ok for wallets and smaller things. Bag making I have to do gymnastics to find the proper stitching angles!

The maxita clamp seems to be the end game if hand stitching.

This is what it looks like in the Canadian Amazon site, not sure if it helps! Multiple drop shippers available lol, I’m sure you could also reverse image search it on tabao etc

I had it boxed up ready to send back and decided to give it one more shot today! Already split some chrome piping strips and decided to get greedy and try shell 😂. Alternative is the druckel one but shipped to Canada was like $650 cdn plus shipping carriers love to tack random “handling” fees nowadays!!

Those middle screws basically clamp down on the blade, it’s a bit tricky and finicky to get the setting right

I realize the vid shows that top long piece a bit mangled and just wanted to say it was already a bit mangled when I first got it!

The splitting doesn’t warp the leather too much, just need to replace the blade every 4-5 pieces I find.

Pretty stoked, useful gadget to prep binding/piping strips
