azrider Report post Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I have done a few projects with leather in the past few years, and did some as a kid and in boyscouts. I have been having a lot of fun with it, but am still very much a beginer. I do love the fact that no one has a belt or wallet like mine, and am really looking forward to more projects. Here is a wallet I finished about 6 months ago. It is a Tandy kit, and is well broken in now. My current project is a belt. The blank was purchased from tandy, and I messed around to come up with this pattern. I am going to put a sealer on the raised edges, and then us antiquer on the rest of the belt. I was very excited to see some posts of people doing motorcycle seats and bags. When I put the bike up this winter, I am going to build some bags and recover the seats. Looking forward to learning a lot here. Edited October 30, 2008 by azrider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted October 30, 2008 Welcome to the Forum, AZRider. You've found the right place to learn and share. Make sure you read all the Motorcycle Topics, they'll be invaluable to you when you start your own bike projects. And keep "messing around", you'll be hooked in no time.

azrider Report post Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for the welcomes! I have not really done much with any leather working in the last few months, so tonight I pulled out my stuff and finished stamping the belt I started a few months ago. I also made a key ring with a basket weave pattern. I have never been able to get the spacing right on that tool, and the post in the stamping section helped. I forgot how much fun this is.
