  1. I believe this may have been sarcasm.
  2. I checked out his page. Very cool stuff! I really need to start implementing more color in my work. The few photos of the collaborative guitar strap look awesome! I play guitar too. I'd love to make something like that for myself.
  3. Makes sense. Plus it makes your wallets that much more hand/custom made!
  4. I'd love to see a photo of the coif if you have one.
  5. Wow, cool stuff! It is quite time consuming, which is why I don't do maille as often as I should. That's one of my fears about getting into leather as well. I'd imagine it's just as time consuming, if not more. Plus there's that whole learning curve thing, whereas I can just pick up and go on a maille project.
  6. Does anyone else on the forums do chainmaille as well as work leather? I'd love to see your work. Do you incorporate it into your leather? Maille is actually my first hobby over leather. I can't even call myself a leather worker yet as I haven't even made anything. The main reason I became interested in leather was mostly my girlfriend's and my want for leather products. I'm a handy guy. I figured, "I can make some of that myself!" My secondary reason came from watching the TV show, Vikings. My girlfriend saw the battle armor of the Lagertha character, which includes maille and leather and that was the final push it took.
  7. This is awesome! Is this modeled after a compass from a specific culture or did you design it yourself?
  8. Work smarter, not harder. That's a great idea using the drill press!
  9. Thanks for the continued info. Did you stitch all three layers at the same time? If so, how much more difficult is that than just stitching two layers together?
  10. I'm glad I'm not going blind! Nice job! I'm pretty new to the craft. It would be cool to see a tutorial on that. How deep does the middle layer around the blade edge go?
  11. Are my eyes deceiving me? Are there 4 layers at the haft?
  12. Wow, where was this kind of thing when I was a kid? That sounds like a blast! Nice job on keeping the kiddies educated and entertained!
