Me too.
Every year at scout camp I make all the scouts a neckerchief slide with leather.
The year camp was closed for Covid we had our own mini summer camp at Gifford Pinchot State Park. I led a Leather Craft merit badge.
What questions do you have?
So I started a couple years ago just to make some holsters for me and my kid.. Now I have a bunch of people wanting custom made items for specific things I don't have, so I have been printing 3D models to use so I don't have to ship back and forth high dollar / questionably legal items. (I live in cali =/)
I was hoping I could find a forum or site that has a repository for 3d models that relate to leatherworking, but after a lot of searching and reaching out to friends in other hobbies I've come up dry..
I have a few a bunch of models already and a few URL's that are dormant, I suppose I could start one.
Yeah, the good walking foot machines are not only expensive but huge and very heavy. I have a singer heavy duty walking machine that I bought new last year for light stuff like wallets and purses It strains in sails so I am kind of scared to try it on any real leather, but everyone that wants high end stuff wants the hand saddle stich anyway cause it looks so nice.
Your stuff is amazing! I saved all your pics for future reference! I love your use of different stitches, I need to start incorporating more of that!
some of what I'm talkin about
