Everett Collection Gregory Peck in “The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.”It’s a complete cinematic clichГ©: the man in the gray flannel suit. The symbol of corporate drone. Yet the image also conjures up nostalgia for a time when men dressed appropriately for the office, in clothing that fit and, just as important, was properly fitted. Having survived yet another round of prophesies of its demise, the flannel suit seems a bit more open for personal interpretation and
sharpen?? I didnt know you could...
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry for such a slow response. How old are your punches? Have you sharpened them lately? You just may need to sharpen them. I hope that helped if not send me another message.
ReplyDeleteYeah my hole punches dont always go through and have been getting dull, i have the mat and granite slab... But for some reason they just start bluntly forcing their way through the leather...
ReplyDeleteany suggestions?
Shipment received. This guys are great!
ReplyDeleteThese guys rock! Their informative video taught me a lot (there's a dearth of basic leathercraft instructional videos online) and so I called them and spoke with Dave, who helped me for a solid hour! He was nice and friendly and we arranged a shipment over the phone.
ReplyDeleteI haven't received the product yet but the service provided was AMAZING!
yes there is. Toll free 1-877-782-6820 ask for Dave
ReplyDeleteHey, is there a number I could call to talk to you and perhaps even make the order? Personal service is such a plus nowadays and I'd love to work with you!
ReplyDeleteThere are some starter kits. It depends on how much you want to invest in the kit and what you want to do. Do you want to just put together kits? Want more tools to be a little more creative? The kits range from $40-$1,000 depending on what you want in your kit. Some of the numbers are 55507-00, 55509-00, 55510-00, 4899-00, 55512-01 check some of those out.
ReplyDeleteHi, I haven't heard of a rivet gun but they do have some riveting machines which i don't believe you'll need. All you really need is a setter and anvil. Which will cost you like 6 bucks. You will punch your holes and set the rivets. Its easy to set the rivets. You just need some leather, rivets and the setting tools. That will keep your cost down for sure. I hope that helped.
ReplyDeleteIf you can recommend any starter kits or products from your website I'd certainly be interested!
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
ReplyDeleteAre rivet guns ever used for leathercraft?
I run a dog kennel and have been thinking of making leather dog collars to order (at the correct size for the specific dog and with the material and buckle the owner selects. I'm not really sure how to get started at this - I've been selling leather collars from wholesalers for a while and have never had a problem adding more holes with a rotary hole punch, but I'm thinking that making my own could increase my margins and product quality.
Thank you for posting this. Leather instructionals are extremely hard to find.
ReplyDeleteThat is the biggest damn belt I have ever seen.
ReplyDeletenice, where can you get the tools of your trade
ReplyDeleteHi, the block on the table is a poly board. We do have smaller ones they save your tools. As for the tools there are various types.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the material on the bench you are using? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery helpful well-explained video, thank you!
