Key Fob, Wristbands & Wallet

[abn]

I haven't posted pictures in a while, so I figured I'd share a few of the projects that have occupied my time in January. Given the beautiful work that's been posted recently in the Show Off forum, I hope no one minds checking out a few "utilitarian" pieces! ^_^

Thanks for looking, -Alex

They all look good to me abn! I like the fob color. The Tri-corner looks neat, and the wallet looks just like it's supposed too.

Dang. I wish you'd post more stuff. I always love looking at it.

Alex,

Is your wallet hand sewn? If so, what thickness of leather did you use? Someone was just asking me about making them a wallet yesterday, but everything I currently have is too thick for a sleek, lovely wallet like yours.

Very nice!

I always enjoy viewing the slick designs of abn . Very nice, creative designs and extremely clean .

On the w.b. with the tri weave , what did you use on the outer edge? I can't make out the design.

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments.

Tammy, it's hand-sewn with a 4-5 oz. exterior and a 2-3 oz. interior. The 4-5 oz. is overkill for the exterior, but adds to the durability of the wallet and provides a nice surface for tooling or carving.

Freak, it's the very tip of an O56 border stamp.

Amazing work! those cuffs rock, do you mind me asking what weight leather you used for them and what types of snaps? I need to order snaps for my first cuff and Im not sure what to use for what weight.

clear and clean - cool.

looking at your wallet interior makes me wish i had a super mini pippin punch for pocket slot corners to

relieve them of stress...like you've done, but i have been looking for a mini version forever

nice work

This might be a small one, you'll have to check with them though to be sure:

Thanks, Eric. I used 4-5 oz. leather, which makes for a lightweight and thin wristband, and some regular old Line 20 snaps. Line 20 should be good up to about 7 oz. leather, and beyond that you should be looking at Line 24s.
