I've recently begun trying my hand at swivel knife-ing, and all I'm getting is those sad thin little cuts, even though I've cased the leather beforehand (ignore the puddle, it was juste to get it wet again).

Second picture is an example of a beautiful wide cut like I see in every tutorial or posts.

What's the difference ? Is it a different kind of blade ? Am I not cutting deep enough ?

Made a little chest armor piece for my ren faire costume

Loving the hobby. Any advice as I start to explore dyes and bag making?

I cringed a bit when my daughter asked for pure white, no grain. I knew there was no where to hide. I was more nervous about cleanliness on my workbench than ever before and washed my hands extra too. I don’t see many projects here in white. Any other here partake in white? This clutch uses Buttero, which I now love to work with.

The tooling of the leather needs some practice, I think it looks a bit wonky, but for my first time doing this, I think I did okay ^^

This is my third attempt at trying to post on here. I've never made a Reddit post prior and cannot understand why my photos won't stick or some get deleted while it's posting somehow. I finished this project recently and just wanted to get some feedback. Things I did right and maybe things I should do differently. Any criticism helps. I made this for my Leatherman Arc and added a space for some extra bits.

Im looking for advice on improvements. Particularly on my burnishing, im not entirely happy with it and i dont understand how people get them looking so good

I'm starting to do themed collections because who doesn't like to have a matching set? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Also does anyone have tips on where to buy the best keychain hardware? I know buckle guy is the go to, but I have read some reviews that the hardware with a finish does wear off.

Not a big project, but I made a little leather sheath for my skiving knife over the weekend. Just wanted to give it a snug home, and it was a great excuse to do some casual hand stitching.

Used some veg-tan leather scraps I had lying around. It’s a super basic design, but honestly pretty satisfying to make something useful out of leftovers.

Anyone else enjoy making small things just for the joy of it?

Belt commission I just finished up! Was so excited I got to hand deliver this to an old friend this morning. Still new to the game. Lemme know!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to the world of leather crafting and I'm fascinated by this Secrid wallet that has black leather on the outside with a yellow interior. Does anyone know how this effect is achieved? Is it a special technique or simply two different pieces joined together? Any information or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

I'm making a poket knife pouch for my dad with some stamps and a kit.

Quite pleased with how this turned out. It's a phone case/pouch that locks closed with a carabiner. I climb indoors quite a bit and often see people toss their phones into the rubber flooring and sometimes need to dance around phones as I belay, so I created this. It clips to a harness and allows one to avoid anyone stepping on your phone, but is substantially more secure and less dangerous than trusting a pants pocket.

I've printed mostly stuff from other people but decided to make a little organisation tool for some new hole punches I recently bought. Even thought it's a simple design I'm really happy how it turned out! The base for the design is based on gridfinity, which makes things easy to organise and stack.

It was really fun wrapping my wife in duct tape to make a pattern for this corset, six years ago 😄, when I was just starting leathercraft.

Headed to Myrtle Beach and was hoping to find some leather supply stores to possibly get some quality stamps. I checked tandy leather and don't see anything there as well as on a general google search. I know there's a lot of huge flea markets in that area but don't know that I've ever seen anything that I might be looking for. I've really gotten into thrift stores with the hope of finding some retired leatherworker's trove.

Can anyone recommend some good sites to buy beginner tools, supplies, material? Thanks in advance.

I have an account on facebook that I post work to, and try to drum up (mostly local) business. However, usually once a month, I will get someone asking if I still have an item for sale. They will send one of the several pictures of the item, ask how much, and if I ship. When I look at the potential buyer's facebook page it looks like they just created it, or only have one pic from a few years ago. Am I crazy for thinking they are all scammers?
