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" …

I put iron to leather for the first time about 2 weeks ago. This is my first attempt at cutting leather to equal sizing, and second time sewing two pieces of leather together. Feedback would be most welcome. (I don't have a suitable beveler). Thank you.

My son just started in construction and asked for a tool belt. I should have just bought him one. It was a fun project and like most things for me, I immediately wanted to build another to fix my mistakes. Critiques are welcome. Randy

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.

My son bought a new rifle and showed me this clicker-stamped sew-on thing on the net, actually said it was handcrafted. I didn't know running a clicker press was considered a craft. Well, anyway, it can be done differently, especially for a Henry lol. The 1/4" veg tan lace, skived and burnished, took about an hour of prep. Finished with real sinew, stained Bison brown.

Hi everyone, I recently completed a saddle pack of Swiss design origin. The horizontal type that just so happens to make a fantastic satchel/briefcase. I’ve been battle testing it in the world for four months and it’s been fantastic. I’ve only made one change to the strap area with the d-rings; changing out the thinner Russian calf for a piece of thick bridle (shown in the pictures with the needles for alignment). I stuck with the traditional materials; bridle, harness, and even a bit of Russian calf here and there. Let’s just say that having to get a working pattern took a lot of time and work. Building it took many, many hours. There are parts of the bag that …

Really trying to get better at making holsters, this is my fourth and I think I'm starting to finally be happy with the results. The coloring is intentional with the slight fade, airbrushing the dye on has made it much easier to achieve. I do leave the liner natural other than a resolene coating.
