what is it?

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…

Good luck dude be great to see the outcome!

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….)

I need to have someone make me some stuff.

Ton of IH fabric and a bunch of Talon/Lightning zippers.

Like this…but with 5-6 levels of various IH fabrics!

Bonus: you can mix up each side for additional awesomeness!

[Moonshine]

Irishexpat,

Glad to hear the satchel is getting some use!  I'm looking forward to the pics!

Urbanwoodsman,

What do you have in mind for the IH material?  Those drops would make some cool small tote bags, wallet liners, coin pouches, etc!  Let me know if I can assist!

You can tell how pleased she is in the last pic…

FANTASTIC!  I'm so glad she's pleased!  It looks quite a bit different (darker from the Obenauf's)
since I last saw it, but I like it!

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!

Nice, particularly like the Gadsden key chain.

Thank you!
If you're interested I could make you one, feel free to PM me.

Just finished this field notes cover for USN Bro HUNTERVASSER.  Hope he enjoys it!  And please excuse the Zebra F402 pen – he’ll be packing a Karas Customs RETRAKT pen which should bling it out nicely!

Here are a couple of sheaths I recently finished up for USN Bro SLUHstud for his Rexford RUT.  Both are made up of red Latigo backing with Chocolate Ostrich leg fronts.  The short one has brown stitching and the long one has purple for a little pop of color that really sets it off, IMO!

^ Nice

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!
