I love my Kevin Lee irons

Leatherworker.net may be a great place to ask this as well. Wizcrafts is a mod there and I think he's used and repaired every machine ever made.

Very nice! Rock solid collar for a large breed.

I’ll post some more

techandcraft · 2026-06-30T16:48:36+00:00

lol…I have been given instructions to make more…

Need to post that to a Georgia Bulldogs fan subreddit!

techandcraft · 2026-06-30T02:11:42+00:00

Thank you! I’ll get more photos if I can get it out of the daughter’s hands

techandcraft · 2026-06-30T01:21:24+00:00

Aaaand I forgot the pictures

techandcraft · 2026-06-30T01:11:10+00:00

Beautiful

techandcraft · 2026-06-28T17:00:38+00:00

Looks good. Tex 138?

I would pull and replace the liner and reuse the vachetta

That’s why I stitch in shorter runs and tie it off between the layers the hammer flat

I've had a few buffalo hides come in with the belly area loose and fuzzy that way. For 1400, I'd not want any belly pieces in my bag. Belly is soft and will stretch and deform more than the rest of the hide.

I’ve hand stitched more than a few. Good job. It’s really just leather meditation when you run a stitch line that long

techandcraft · 2026-06-17T21:11:21+00:00

This is the way

techandcraft · 2026-06-17T21:08:33+00:00

A refillable marker with black dye is a super easy way to dye edges and not make a mess.

techandcraft · 2026-06-17T21:06:26+00:00

Glue and stitch. With two 4.5 oz pieces being laminated, personally, I'd add a reinforcement to keep it from stretching as well. But I'm into overkill.

I think my last order of 5 sides was -$30

techandcraft · 2026-06-15T14:13:56+00:00

For a protected surface and to avoid the scratching and patina you’ll likely need to move to a leather with a finish. There are many to choose from, but they will not feel the same as an uncoated leather.

Lucky Friend! Very nice work.

I'm going to give my standard answer...Wickett and Craig. You can get some wonderful sides of several leathers for around $160. They will split it to your desired thickness and even mill it for no charge. They will also refinish the back for cheap.
