Smoothers for leather, and some of the first tools devised by man. The lissoir is used to break the leather, direct the fibres and ease into shape (from shoe points to sling pouches...). They appear throughout the prehistoric chapters and were often made from rib bone and at times decorated with etched drawings. The top lissoirs are made from buis (boxwood) and are antiques, with the top originating in south west France the middle from Spanish history with the lower bone lissoir borrowed from a local traditional leather worker (Les 3 oranges). The lissoir is one of a small set of tools that were used outside of the species homo sapiens sapiens, with them being found at Pech-de-l’Axé with dates around 51,000 ybp so pre Sapiens and therefore Neanderthal..
The middle lissoir has a central curve, top left, next to the notches. This was probably for holding a strip of leather under a thumb and pulling to 'break the back' and generate suppleness. The notches either side are more difficult to understand and I would be pleased if any lissoir users could add a comment or send me a Flickr mail if they have an idea.

These Knifes are used for cutting leather designs out of. I was commissioned to make the handles!! So very exciting!!
Put T Leatherworks mudflaps on it, my HDPE experiments all split down the middle. Small wheels fling shit *everywhere*, it's almost unrideable in wet without fenders.
Without flaps they just combat skunk stripe and keep the steel part of the frame from getting filthy, anyone behind you gets full blast to the face and you get sprayed to the knee.
Also swapped the old DA 12-25 cassette for a new Ultegra 11-28, shifting improved dramatically and that one extra gear makes all the difference for staying seated on the steep grades in/out of my house.
The 11t didn't fully resolve the chain/seatstay interference, hopefully respacing the hub to 132.5 to match the frame by shortening the nds endcap will make it clear.
Photoshoot with Emily's Aloy - costume by her, bow and armor by Volpin Props. We tackled the leatherwork together.
I took a photo of Lewis three years ago at Bar U Ranch. I was delighted to see that he is still at Bar U Ranch doing leather work.
That awkward moment when we bought the aquarium skull ... and have not brought the fish ^_^

A belt cover for a Harley Davidson.. El Gringo is the name of the build.. still a little work left, and then polishing
The sheath I made with the old one shown. I decided to modify the design a bit based on the way the knife hung and how it'd wear on a belt.
After much waffling I decided to do silhouette carving. This is about an hour and a half to 2 hours worth of tooling so this is going to be a project that is going to take a while.
Shoe-making has to be one of the oldest crafts known to man - these traditional hand-crafted boots are made from cow-hide and deerskin in the latest Viking Viking styles
Leather braces I made tonight. The back piece is just something I thought up and it ended up working out alright. I picked up something to use as an anvil and my copper rivets rock now.
