Anyone know of a company or a workshop that makes steel rule dies ?

these are basically a knife edge bent to a design you want and set into a wooded base ,

mostly used to cut paper like Christmas cards , door knob advertising etc

can also be used to cut leather , which is what I want to do,

or has anyone has a lazer cutter make the some leather patterns ?

You need to go to the Wongwienyai area in BKK. You can take the skytrain there. Go to Charoenrat Road which is full of leather shops and on the sois off of that road there are many punch shops (cutting leather, PCV, paper, etc...using the die you are talking about). What you want, if I understand correctly, is called a "block" in Thailand. They use the english word "block" so if you ask in the leather shops and say you want to make a "block" they will be able to direct you to the proper place.
