Craft Works - Let's Get Creative!
-
You guys inspired me to make myself a wallet. So I went to the store today, bought the tools, and now I'm about to order some nice leather.
After calculating what's needed I must say: if this works, I'll have a custom made wallet for less than 50 Euros! Amazing…

Moonshine made my wife a really cool satchel/purse for Christmas.
Natural veg tan leather, minimalist design.
I'll post some pics up here later today. It's been treated with Obenaufs oil and it's gotten a good bit of use already. She loves it!
(now to get her into some raws….)

Quite a few pics here. With a natty rig incoming from Zach, my old belt is redundant and seriously lacking by comparison. This isn't quite craft work, but is a creative solution to my lack of a darker belt in conjunction with the new purchase…
I cleaned it with the item I have in Lost Property before applying
After a few coats, allowing for dry time between applications
A wipe with a damp sponge removing excess reveals
A coat of Obenauf's LP, and some heat
This one for contrast shows the best rep of final color

Looks good dude!

Wallet chain and keyring that I made today.
Wanted to source all the components from japan originally but was quite hard to track the right ones down and would have worked out too expensive. In the end I went for the key bits from japan (trigger hooks and dusters) and sourced the rest from elsewhere. Final pieces came today and pulled it together pretty quickly. Really pleased with the result!
