My new hobby: Leather craft

[ronk]

I wanted a leather cuff bracelet. It's hard to find any that fit my over 8" wrist.

I went on Amazon and found a strip of leather that is 3" wide, and 60" long. I bought a few tools, and went to work. My first bracelet looked pretty sad. The second bracelet came out great! My first goal is to make a simple cuff bracelet. Later on I will get more tools and make some really intricate designs.

You will get hooked on leatherwork and have a great time. I did, for many years.

I used to do leather work as a hobby. Still have a lot of tools hidden around here somwhere.

I have several chunks of leather, some leather lacing, couple pots of dye, and one entire sheepskin.

I still have much to learn, and need to buy many more tools. Right now I'm doing leather work to suit my own needs, and I like making things as easily as possible!

That's so cool making your own stuff.
