    This is a great place to post pics your latest work. Please understand that as the threads get older, we're going to move the topics to the area they "fit", for example, bikes or holsters, just to keep this section manageable, and help the newer folks find lots of pics of the subjects they are interested in. If I have moved your post to the wrong area, please TELL me so I can fix it. Please don't be upset when I move an older post- it actually helps more people to find it. It also helps when we use descriptive titles. "Recent Projects" isn't as likely to get clicks as "Harley Saddlebags and Seat" or "Civil War Holster and Belt". To post your pics, use the "browse" …

    The Alamo 1 2 3 4 9

    by WalterF

    Wanted to try a building, The Alamo seemed like a good project. It was more difficult than anticipated, larger size would make it easier. The size was 7.5 x 10, seemed big enough when printing the piece, plus it is hard to find a lot bigger piece on a belly. With the price of bellies it gives me more freedom to try and not be afraid of the cost of failure, just have to read the leather for proper moisture content.

    New purse

    by JDFred

    My daughter needed a gift for the buyer of her project at our county stock show. Since her buyer happens to be my boss’s wife I was able to customize a purse for her. I used 5/6 oz Hermann Oak skirting for the panels, and for the gusset some chrome tan that I found at Tandy on clearance I thought look nice. The pattern I used was from Tandy’s purse pattern pack that I modified to have an interior pocket and have a wider gusset with a shoulder strap instead of the wrist strap it called for. I used the tooling pattern that came with it slightly modified to incorporate the brand. I gave it a couple coats of neats foot oil and used mahogany antique and finished with tan-k…

    Picked up an older singer machine, got it up and running and used it to make some booties for a friend. Wish I had used a softer leather, getting them inside out was painfull. But I think they turned out okay. Made with 2ozish veg tan.

    Coin wrap 1 2

    by Darren8306

    I found a nifty old coin for morse code on the temu site, and grabbed some, mostly because of how I learned something. In movies, I've seen actors send and receive messages over telegraph or other morse codes, but never saw how they did it. Turns out it is the opposite of magic. With this coin (other side has the sending info) and knowing how the code works, this will allow even a novice to decode a message. The code not only works, but is WAY easier to teach/share than I thought. I made a few wraps for them, and will be gifting them to a couple radio nerd friends. I kind of doubt it is an item that would sell well, but I'm still going to have a few made up…

    Buffalo hide wallet Based on a Mascon leather design

    by Second_Chance_Leather

    I found some 5 oz- 6 oz buffalo hide scraps on Facebook that someone was selling. Made a wallet for a friend who wanted one and has been asking me for a while to make one for them. I would have preferred something with a bit more character, but I will work with what I have. One question - how do you keep your stitching irons straight when you are going through 3 layers of 6 oz leather?
