It is an automatic watch: it runs without batteries, it is not powered up, it works with the energy accumulated by the movements of the arm. I made a bracelet giving free rein to my imagination, based on leather, gears, a key, clock needle and brass plates hand engraved by myself.

It allows me to carry together my wallet, badge, phone and keys, without the drawbacks of a shoulder bag. Bonus! my pocket on my side, my RFID badge is exactly at the height of the sensor, which even prevents me to leave the hands from the handlebars to pass the barriers.

There are many videos on the Net showing this operation, I show you here how you can make three different versions of this tool if you have access to a lathe. Manual burnisher This first version is very simple, it is used by hand rubbing back and forth, quickly enough, so as to heat-up the edge and the resin or wax that covers it. https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/outillage/pincesellier/ Mon, 19 Nov 2018 13:25:00 +0100 https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/outillage/pincesellier/ Saddle Stitching Clamp The Saddle Stitching Clamp is a handy tool for sewing leather by hand, especially for the saddle stitch. It allows to hold the workpiece in an ideal position, tightening the piece as close as possible to the work area. Pieces can be of any size. No screws or nuts are used for tightening, because it is the strength of the legs that operates, without any particular effort to provide. https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/outillage/alenelosange/ Mon, 19 Nov 2018 13:18:00 +0100 https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/outillage/alenelosange/ Diamond shaped saddle stitching awls The awl is an important tool in the art of leather craft, it allows to punch a hole in order to pass the needles for saddle stitching. There are two types of awls: - the round awl, with a round and conical section blade. They are used to open or enlarge an existing hole. - Diamond awls, which cut the leather rather than pierce it. The hole obtained is actually a slit, which allows to obtain angled stitches in saddle stitching. https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/realisations/tablierencuir/ Tue, 03 May 2016 20:58:00 +0100 https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/realisations/tablierencuir/ Leather apron Here is a leather apron, made for the shop. I was inspired by a great luthier friend of mine who has one similar, and also by my grand’ma who had an apron with crossed straps on the back, which is more confortable than the usual strap that goes around the neck, and which also permits to make a larger front. The leather was salvaged from an old sofa and the buttons are home made, turned out of boxwood. https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/technique/sanglemandolinetressee/ Fri, 03 Oct 2014 07:19:00 +0100 https://www.labellenote.fr/en/travail_du_cuir/technique/sanglemandolinetressee/ Braided mandolin strap Here is how to make of a leather strap for a bluegrass style mandolin.
