Hey @graceful thorn I'm new to leather working and I was wondering if you had a recommendation for the best hardware to use (eyelets, rivets, snaps etc) I've noticed they make them from all sorts of metals and if you have a specific type brass, copper, stainless steel etc. Maybe tell me here and also perhaps add that to your Amazon list.

Hey there! It really depends on your project. They all work well, so I tend to go with brass for projects with warmer colors or with that more "classical fel". Otherwise, I quite like a gun metal finish for more "dangerous looking" things. All looks though

So excited to see you there! Maybe I will bring some scraps ant tools and we can try and craft a bit if I catch a breather😁

That's honestly a great idea, I hadn't thought about crafting while there... I just found out about Brandywine a month ago...so focused on my outfit and making little barrels for pipeweed (tobacco) samples.

I'll probably bring along some leather too, might make a few easy pipe-stands (that could be a quick video idea for you btw since you said you're stretched for time- I am too I feel you there) - I'll find a reference pic

I'll be Sedwyn Hornblower there, camped out IG social area, so I imagine me and the Hornblower bro's should be easy to find...look for smoke rings! lol Gandalfpiping

Or a pipe holster would be cool
