josiahmd Report post Posted February 26, 2014 hey everyone... just posting my first project built from scratch, i did numerous kits in my youth and the bug bit me to start making things again... its a knife pouch made with 6 oz veg tan, with antique stain and finished with resolene i made it horizontal carry so it does not poke my side getting in and out of vehicles. i learned quite a bit making this with some good pointers from my cousin who does leatherwork . i will put this pouch to the test every day at work.. ... i'm proud of it and cannot wait to start my next project.. -josiahmd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Nice work Mister man, , I wonder if the closer flap should not be trimmed to remove those 90 degree cuts wearing this horizontal on a bely I would think might grab things as you walk bye,, all in all I would be proud to have made that ! again Nice work !

ReneeCanady Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Wow, good job! Especially for being your first from scratch piece! You attacked a lot in one shot. Basket weave stamping, wet molding, and the stitching. Nicely done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted February 27, 2014 I had forgot to mention how nice the stamping is Basketweave is not so easy to do and the Camo boarder is tight ! very nice again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josiahmd Report post Posted February 27, 2014 thank you bigorange and ReneeCanady for the compliments and suggestions ... its much appreciated , i see what you mean, bigorange , about the flap.. ill see how it does because i'd hate to have to cut into the stamped portion of it..maybe i can cut it right up to it and it will be enough. the basketweave surprised me as to how quickly it can get crooked.. it was a lot harder than i thought it was going to be, you really have to take your time a line up each one carefully... this was fun to make and actually has a calming effect... almost like meditation .... once again thanks for the replies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
