craftsman827 Report post Posted April 9, 2014 wow, that's so great, and i will try do it. but i may spend much time. It wasn't that hard. Just a little time consuming. First I drew the pattern,carved & beveled it into the 3 oz. leather I used steep bevelers so it was easy to cut out the filagree. I used xacto, but there are tools just for filagree. BeleIve they are like small sharp chizels, in different shapes. Not to experenced in that , first time attempeting. Then I glued the tan part to the green leather 2 oz.Than cut out the window part (top) dark brown leather. I used some soft upolstery leather very light weight,hand stitched around the window.Than using some light weight 2 oz.natural calf,for the back, I stitched all parts together1/8" from the edge. PS: I installed the male part of the snaps before putting the back lining on. For the back lining, any soft leather will do. I'm sure a sewing machine would come in handy on this project. Some day I'll get one or two.. .mene, what part of new york do you come from, I'm in Brooklyn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
