    Lookin' good. I especially like you paid attention to the details ... Like covering the hardware on the inside with leather. Thanks for sharing!

    It looks great, Mike. The braiding is excellent and I especially like the colouring and stamping. Really cool how the texturing fades out randomly. thanks for sharing!
  5. Basically Bob
    Good stuff!

    Two more projects

    The Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michaels is excellent. Al Stohlman's Art of Making Cases, Start with volume 1 and progress to volume 3

    That is a great, practical idea! I would have found that very useful in my days as a business traveller.

    Nice little bag. You did a great job.

    Looks great. Neat and tidy & it looks like a good design. What did you use for a finish?

    Very nice. I like how you paid attention and took care with the finer details of the sheath. The creasing on the strap and hole for the stud are perfect. Stitching and the arrowhead stamp pattern is excellent, also. The lighter colour works really well with the handle of the knife. Thanks for sharing.

    JLS Leather, a regular poster on this forum, has several, simple, wallet/case patterns (free) on his website. ByNelson's advice to start small is very good.

    I would start by buying three books: - the Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michaels (she guides you through projects, step by step, starting with simple projects, leading up to advanced projects. - the Art of Making leather Cases: Volumes 1 and 2 - perhaps three, later on. Start with the stitching methods in Michael's book. All the case making techniques you will need are covered in Stohlman's books. Also, you tube has gobs of info: check out Leodis Leather and Nigel Armitage - lots more, but sometimes it is tough to sort out the good stuff from bad. Tools: buy quality, for sure.

    Yup, different design for sure ... just wanted to show that stitch holding down the top piece.

    Here's a pic of what I mean.

    I haven't been around much during the past couple of years but I must say that I have always appreciated your work. I really like the design of both bags and do appreciate your desire to get into hand stitching. Sean Dalgetti at Tundra Leather (Hamilton) is an amazing leatherworker and could really help you with tips along the way. Looking at the small bag, I would recommend that rather than ending your stitch line before the opening, go up and around the top with both threads which essentially closes the two pieces of leather together. I just might try to make one up, myself! Thanks for sharing!

    Wow! That is absolutely amazing! Attention to detail everywhere I look. ( from Ontario, eah? Cool)

    I bet your son will be really proud to use it! I really like the pen holder slot ... great idea!
  23. Basically Bob
    I think it looks good. Thanks for sharing.
  24. Basically Bob
