Thanks much! Taking orders? Haha, just from my girlfriend! ;o) no, not yet... still doing some projects for friends and myself while I learn more. I'm way too new at this to be charging money... yet.

Yeah, I thought about just making one up but then thought about how much easier it would be to at least see one and whats involved in the making of one first. Even if I find one, I'm sure I'd modify it anyway! Steve, Thanks much! I'll keep looking online too. The problem has been that the images of whats out there have been so small I can't really tell what's what or how big anything is.

Yeah, I can understand that Tom. I'm coming at it from an art director/graphic artist point of view with a heavy dose of tattoo influence. The way I see it, just do what the piece/art wants to do, don't fight it and have fun with it. Oh, and I guess I AM one of the skull crew, I just thought about it and out of the seven leather projects I've done so far, five had had skulls in them!

yeah, you and me both! For some reason the seat is scaring me a bit. Flat stuff is easy to figure out but i'm kinda stumped on how to line up the holes on the seat top and bottom.

Okay, so here's my second attempt at a wallet. My first was a bi-fold tooled on both sides I did for a friend of mine. This one is a bit more detailed and involved as well as finished off. I just measured up my old biker wallet and made up a pattern as I went along. Next time I'm making a pattern out first and transferring it to the leather rather than making up right there on the spot. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how it came out, let me know what you think. Cheers! Oh, and here's an older shot the first wallet i made... I gave it to my buddy before I got to take any pics of the finished piece. I'll take some next time I see him and post them up.

Just wondering if anyone has made or has a pattern for a dart case. I've seen all sorts of other cases patterned here but no luck so far with a case for my roommates darts. He's on a winning streak in the local dart tournaments and I wanna make him something cool. I could try and ad lib a pattern but would rather see what all is out there first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot! And to be fair, Timd1159, it's not my second project, just my second wallet. It's probably about my fifth or sixth project since I started doing leatherwork. ;o) And Tom, yeah, I was going for something a little different than what I've seen in the past. It seems most are bordered in some way so I wanted to try a three sided bleed. Glad you liked it! TwinOaks, there's a "skull crowd"?

Well, here's my second wallet I've done. The first was a bi-fold for a friend, this one is a "biker" for me. Whatcha think?

that's great, thanks so much for your help!

Okay, so I need to start lacing up this solo seat and decided on the round braid for the lacing. I have 1/8" lace but what I need to know is how big should the holes be, how far from the edge should the holes be placed and at what frequency per inch or apart from each other should they be? Also, should a round core be used? How bad will it look without using one? Thanks!

I'd be interested for sure!
