You might just think that I only make handmade leather belts - but you would be wrong!

Check out my blog to see what else I handcraft or pay a visit to my other website www.oaksidesaddlery.co.uk and see what else you may need.

Handmade English Bridle Leather Dog Collars and Leads, Leather Belts, and Horse Bridles, and now Camera Straps and Rifle Slings. Clipper Service and Repair

<p>A nice, old hunting bag in for refurbishment. It is going to take a fair bit of oiling before I even dare do too much to it.<br/>

<p>Let’s just say that I am building up a bit of sweat turning this bag the right way round 😬<br/>

<p>Clipper repairs.<br/>
Sometimes your horse clippers need repairing. Many parts can be replaced. This is a replacement condenser after the old one exploded.<br/>
Clipper repairs are from just £30 plus parts. This could be more cost effective than buying a new set.<br/>

<p>Finally finished. My new Goshawk leather wallet.<br/>
Prototype completed. Don’t look too closely or you will see all of the design changes whilst I was crafting it😁 I must admit that I rather like this design of wallet.<br/>
1.5mm Lamport shoulder in black from Metropolitan Leather with Artisan leather’s red braided thread hand stitching. 3 card slots, 2 receipt pockets, a coin pouch, and a full length cash pocket.<br/>
I may skive the edges down a bit more on the next one. And the card pockets need to be a couple of millimetres bigger.<br/>
Fancy your own handmade leather wallet? Then pay a visit to my website at <a href="http://www.oaksidesaddlery.co.uk" target="_blank">www.oaksidesaddlery.co.uk</a> and place your order.<br/>

<p>A new wallet design and I have gone and got all excited and missed a line of stitching🤪<br/>
And whilst I sort the stitching out I can also stain the edges that I have missed as well😁<br/>

<p>Cartridge bag<br/>
I made something different the other day. A handbag based on a cartridge design. I must say that I do rather like it.<br/>
Leather is @metropolitanleather.est1919 Lamport 2mm Blue and 1.5mm dark tan piping.<br/>
Fittings are from @abbeyenglandltd all in brass.<br/>
Thread is Artisan leather braided polyester.<br/>
All hand stitched(which took bl**y ages) using a round hole stitching punch on the piped seams and diamond stitch marks on the exposed seams.<br/>
Two pockets give you plenty of room for carrying all your useful bits and pieces whilst looking good.<br/>

<p>Top tip!<br/>
Use the edge of your table with your strap cutter to get that first straight edge😁<br/>
