I have an antique chair that is upholstered in sheepskin leather. On one of the corners, the leather is deteriorating. Does anyone here have the knowledge and experience to fix this and bring the leather back to its former glory?

Lately I see a lot of YouTube films about using a diode laser cutter en engraver in leather working? Is buying such a machine a waste of good money or a good investment. I'm curious about your opinion. I'm talking about the 10W and 20W diode lasers

I made some card holders with a front of lacquer leather, so far so good. On one I want to try a crease line around the slots. Problem is the shiny layer is sticking on my warm crease iron and letting lose. With a cooler iron the line will not stand. Any suggestion?

Here a short introduction of myself. I' am trained as a saddler. Learned all about horses and horse back, harnesses, bridles, cavason, saddles etc. but at fine leather work I still have a lot to learn. I'am specialized in bridles for horses. But still after many years never 100% satisfied of my work. Always little aspects i want to do better. Always in search of improvement. On youtube there is a lot of information, but most are not really at a standard I was looking for. So I was very pleased to find Phil and his excellent way of explaining how to do use different technique in the correct way. I did buy the 6 mounth plan.
