Leather Baseball Makeover ___________ Yep, as almost everyone guessed it was exactly what you thought, a baseball! With the season starting I must have had baseball on the brain and as you probably have all gathered by now, I’m a fan of this brown leather and white stitching combo so I grabbed an old baseball and tried giving it new life. It obviously won’t be used to actually play, but I do think with a little custom laser engraving or something, these could be cool gifts for someone to display? ___________ I didn’t do any research on how they are made, but I remembered seeing an episode of that show “how it’s made” where they showed the process a few years ago and just went with what I remembered. I am definitely happy with how it came out, but in full disclosure I did have a little issue at the very end with some bunching of the leather. I think it happened due to very small discrepancies in size of the two pieces because I hand cut them which added up/compounded as I progressed and added just a little extra leather at the very end. I made it work, but the stitching at that point is a little messed up. ___________ As promised, I picked one person randomly to win the small prize pack (see original post) and the winner is @charlieandwillshop – congrats! ___________ #custombaseball #leatherprojects #leatherwork #DIY #doityourself #handmade #maker #madetomake #design #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ethancarterdesigns

Ok. You have to swipe to see what this mess becomes. I got a request from a friend earlier last week for a baseball glove wallet, she sent me the glove and I put the puzzle together. There are so many amazing baseball wallets out there that I looked to for design ideas, but ended up just seeing what worked best. All hand stitched. What do you guys think? #leatherprojects #leather #baseball #wallet #diywallet #baseballstitch #redstitching #baseballglove #baseballglovewallet #wayharderthanitlooks #puzzle #diy #repurpose #recycle #friendssupportingfriends #supportlocalbusinesses

#whatisitwednesday ___________ I’m learning a new stitching pattern for my next project and I thought it would be fun to see if you guys can guess what I’m working on. So go ahead and make your guess in the comments and I will announce the winner when I post the project video (probably Friday) who will win a leather cord organizer, a Field Notes book (just the book, no cover this time) and some swag from Workbenchcon I don’t have a use for (swipe to see the prizes) ___________ If more than one person guesses correctly, which I am expecting, I’ll randomly select one person from that list. ___________ #flashgiveaway #leatherprojects #leatherwork #DIY #doityourself #handmade #maker #madetomake #design #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ethancarterdesigns

Den nyrenoverede @dahlman1807 -butik på Fortunstræde i København. @philiphopner #dossierdanmark #dahlman #dossieranbefaler

”Muligheden for at videreføre 210 års historie med @dahlman1807 var for god til at sige nej til. Når man går op i håndværk, føler man sig forpligtet til at holde det i live. Og Dahlman er en hellig gral i læderverdenen, som altid har stået for kvalitet og godt håndværk. Derfor valgte vi at overtage firmaet og genåbne butikken. Vi er en modreaktion på, at det skal gå meget hurtigt i øjeblikket. Der er tendenser, som skifter hele tiden, og man skal prøve at følge med. Det er ærgerligt, at der ikke er mere nøjsomhed og fordybelse. Det er sjælen i produktet, jeg synes, der mangler. Flere, som virkelig går op i det, de laver, og gør det så godt for kunden som muligt. Der er megen snak om bæredygtighed, og det går vi også op i, dog ikke for PR, men fordi det giver det bedste produkt. Der er forskellige måder at garve læder på, og vi bruger kun vegetabilsk garvelæder, som tager længere tid at lave og er dyrere at købe ind. Til gengæld patinerer det meget pænere end billigt læder fra Indien, som tager tre uger at lave og ligner plastik. Der ligger mange års test af mange forskellige lædertyper bag. Når man producerer et produkt i hånden, kan det ikke svare sig ikke at bruge det bedste materiale, man kan få fat på. Det er vores arbejdstimer, som er det dyreste i produktionen, så det ville være dumt at spare penge ved at købe billigt. Gode ting tager tid at lave. Du får ikke et godt produkt, hvis det handler om at få så meget som muligt så hurtigt som muligt. Vi kører ikke med faste kollektioner, vi vil tænke mere langsigtet. Hvis man laver en taske fordi den skal holde de næste 50 år, og ikke ud fra en bestemt farve, som er oppe i tiden, så får du bare et meget federe produkt. Vi har valgt at videreføre en taske, bælte og sandal fra Dahlmans oprindelige sortiment. Bæltet var naturfarvet indtil Arne Jacobsen kom i butikken og skulle bruge det i sort til aftenbrug. Han havde altid bæltet med som gave på sine rejser, derfor blev det ret kendt. Vi har stadig arkitekter i dag, som kommer og skal have det. Det synes vi er vildt sjovt. Så det har vi valgt at lave præcis, som det altid har set ud.” – Jeppe Dencker​, sadelmager, medejer af @dahlman1807 @philiphopner
