An Announcement You Will Want To Hear #leathercraft #leatherwork #leatherproject #leathercrafting

Today I will be opening packages that I have recently received. These are items that I have ordered from suppliers that I use on a regular basis. I like using smaller companies and these companies fit into that criteria. The first box I will open is from Bruce Johnson Leather Tools. Bruce Johnson is a great person to reach out to especially if you are looking for vintage tools. You will find new tools from some of the major tool companies in his booth and online. Yet, one of the reasons that people shop with Bruce is because he carries vintage tools. When Bruce purchases used tools he inspects each tool and the refurbishes each. Once refurbished Bruce sharpens the tool and places it on his website for sale. Bruce has a nice selection of refurbished tools. When I was first starting my leatherwork journey I had a list of tools that I needed. I was able to fill in a lot of spots on my workbench from Bruce Johnson. You can find Bruce online and at many of the leather working trade shows. Bruce has an extensive knowledge of tools and a great place to ask questions. You can reach Bruce at 1(844)584-7866. https://brucejohnsonleather.com/ The next purchase is from Steel Stamps Inc. Tim Purdy is the owner of Steel Stamps Inc. Tim is involved in every step of the process to deliver a top quality markers mark directly to you. When I first started leather working it was for friends and family. After I sent many of the finished projects to friends and family I would get comments about needing to find a way to sign my work. My wife and I were at the Southwest Leather Workers Trade Show in Prescott AZ. We met and talked with Tim Purdy and he took our ideas and helped to create my markers mark and that resulted in my trademark. There may be lower cost options out there, but I do not think that there is a higher quality tool. The customer service is second to none. You should give Tim a call. You can reach Tim at (208)345-2550. Here is a recent conversation that I had with Tim Purdy.

So did I need more knives? Well who doesn’t? I always enjoy visiting Shaun and his charming wife at the trade shows. Last February, I visited Shaun’s booth and ended up buying a modified head knife. At the show in Pendleton Oregon I was amazed at the new knife selections that Shaun had. The Don Gonzales inspired knife really called out to me. The quality and feel of the knife made me commit to buying one for myself. Once I had decided that I needed that knife I then was drawn to the angled skiving knife as well. Shaun makes every knife himself. Shaun Woodsum custom knives are made in his shop under the name of Cross Winds Forge. Shaun is an experienced blacksmith and knife maker. If you are looking for a one of a kind knife then reach out to Shaun Woodsum. You can find Shaun’s custom knives at Cross Winds Forge. The range of custom knives are both beautiful and alluring. Shaun uses a large range of custom materials. If you have a combination of style and handle material/color that you are looking for reach out to Shaun Woodsum. You will be surprised at his resourcefulness. You will find a video of a recent conversation with Shaun here.
