No. Just down the two sides. I'll post a better picture of the back!

Oh dear... I'm not sure what a 'picket fence' type pouch is, and Google was of no help there. I haven't even been able to find a picture online that's anything like the pouch in the article. I'll take a snapshot of the photo in the article and post it tomorrow, when I have better light. Thanks for your help, though! At least this is giving me ample time to fiddle with the finish and make sure the edges are nice and smooth until I can get it together!

I keep losing my harness needles - especially the smaller gauge ones. How does everyone here store them? I'd like a method that is portable, as I carry a kit with me when I camp and ride.

Here's another playing cards case I made! This has got to be one of my favourite things to make as a gift. FYI: Resizing the picture I attached... It was WAY too big. EDIT: Done!

I've started making the ANZAC ammunition pouch from the Sept/Oct 09' issue of Leathercrafter's & Saddler's Journal. I have all of the pieces cut and dyed, but I'm not 100% sure on the assembly of it. There isn't much detail or pictures on the final assembly featured in the article itself... The belt loop and main body I can figure out from the pictures offered, but what I'm not fully understanding is how the middle divider piece attaches. I haven't been able to find exact pictures online. Has anyone here made it? Or does anyone have any suggestions or can point me in the direction of where I could find more info?

Wonderful work!! What type of tubing is that? I've been trying to decide what to use for my pool cue case.

Curses. The 'Wild Things' free stuff is all .exe extensions. Won't work on my Mac.

Can't wait to get that! My boyfriend and I both have 1911s, and it's been my model of choice for learning what I have for making gun accessories.

I've made a few of the ammo cases in those books. Wood forms are definitely the way to go! And make sure to screw a metal loop into them to aid in pulling them out after everything's been all sewn up.

Is it possible to re-upload these, or email them to me? I'm very interested!

How wonderful of you to offer this! Thank you very much! I hope you will be able to get back in the shop asap!

This Tandy pack has one variety. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/6025-00.aspx Through practice and looking at other taps, I've been able to modify the one in there into different styles... More like various hybrids than actual standard varieties, but customers have been happy! It's somewhere to start, anyways.

Thanks for the pattern! This one is a bit bare bones... You can tell materials would not have been terribly plentiful when these plans were created, but useful nonetheless! I have a friend who has a wood shop in his basement, and said I can make a stitching pony for myself. I've been compiling pictures and measurements from various patterns, and I think I'm getting close to being ready to start. Any suggestions on what makes a good 'pony'?

I agree with you 100% here. The first briefcase I made, I used from a franken-pattern compiled from the main body of one briefcase, a strap style I use for closing saddle bags, and one of the many handles demonstrated at the beginning of the book... There's endless possibilities, and once you understand the theory behind it, you should have no trouble creating exactly what you want. I often just read through the theory over and over again to study.

Thanks! The hardware is rivets and button studs from Tandy Leather.

Looks good! Less is more, and often times it just takes something as simple as this to look great.

Very nice! I have a friend in Texas who wants me to make a guitar strap for him. I've been stuck on ideas of how to make it, but this certainly looks nice!

Amazing work!!

Very beautiful indeed!!

The only thing I can see needing improvement, is you need to pull the lacing on the bottom tighter. I find the best thing to do, is pull it as tight as you possibly can - preferable with a set of smooth jaw needle nose pliers, then let it sit for a few days before tightening it again. You'll find the lace stretches over time. Other than that, the tooling and overall work looks good!

Beautiful!! How long did it take you to cut all of that?

Looks nice! I like the flower design out of stitching.

I'd love to see these, but it appears the pictures aren't working.

They look great!

I got this from a member on the forum. Should meet your needs! Sporran Pattern.pdf
