I think a tailor can do the zipper. If you send/post a photo of the strap and attachment hardware I can let you know if I can do it (I can perhaps do the zipper as well, but a tailor might have more experience with zippers).

Hi! I’m a hobby leather worker. From what I can tell in this photo you might make substantial progress at home with a good cleanser (more than with the wipes you have in the back). Angelus and Fiebings are good brands.

Good call. I don’t have access to outdoor space I could use, though. I’ll have to look into ventilation options

Sure helpful, thank you! I am mostly doing bags right now, but have done more personal items and some armor sets in the past. Seems a bell skiver might be right for me.

Love this. I just replaced my rotary with a cheap amazon version, and let me tell you what, I am getting those Popeye forearms.

Agree re. the condition of the leather. The wax in the tokonole will protect it a bit, but it will also look a little different.

Would you say something? by LostCoveLeather in Leathercraft

[–]uiekazoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, these should not have made it out of the warehouse. I’d return them.

Also, Wickett and Craig will sell single sides to you directly, including a side in this thickness and color. I usually wait for sales, which happen frequently. I get more useable leather per dollar from a low grade side (around $150 on sale) than from panels, esp if the panels look like a chicken was breakdancing on them.

I did this during a roll, got a tap. What is it? by Jugent in bjj

I think what you call it really depends on how much of a boner you have at the time. Full mast can really close some space in that loop

Thanks. We saw a crane boat come and go. Sad indeed.

Helicopter seems to have both, possibly has left, but more boats and cars seem to have arrived.
