Dude, thats really cool. After seeing it, it's way more user friendly than I thought! A nice tooled leather outside and it would be styling! Maybe we can collaborate on this one
-
Dude, I have been looking for a good solution for traveling with my tools. A custom box with spots for the things I need would be sweet.

Thanks H!
-
Baaaaaaaa
-
Thanks everyone! I gave it to the guy today and he loves it! Success
-
Jake, I love my edges into perfection! Encouraging words and some rubbing and voila!
-
Thanks everyone. After seven months of work, it's finally starting to show. I can't wait to see where this takes me in the next year or so!

A New Experiment - 1911
immiketoo replied to immiketoo's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks Rudi... It's a pointed beveler. And yes, it is. -
A co-worker loved my eagle pouch so much, he asked for it on a holster, but is a different color. Things are finally starting to come together
-
Thanks everyone! Bryan, you crack me up...

Modified my other pattern to fit a 3 inch 1911, put my beloved eagle on the front and I am totally digging it! Finally got the hang of stitching and edging, I think.

Thanks guys... its a cool pattern, but its a PITA. -
Tried the hand carved basket weave on this one. Its a rough test of concept and I made some errors, but its not bad. Still needs the holes punched, but you get the idea.

Is There A Leather Workers Guild In The Chicago Area?
immiketoo replied to NapervilleCobbler's topic in Member Gallery
No, I had email contact with one of the members in December. They still have monthly meetings, but I didn't get a very positive response from the person I was speaking to. Left a bad taste, to be honest. Let me know if anyone goes. I'd like to check it out. -
Thanks H factor!
-
Thats really cool dude.
-
Thank's everyone. This was a fun project.

IT looks like you're doing a lot of things with the leather too wet. The overall appearance of the holsters just looks like you rushed it a bit. I know how impatient I can be and its hard to slow down. Also, the yellow thread is distracting IMO.
-
Yep, its backgrounded. The yellow Fiebings makes can give you that color with some help. The finish or mixing the dye would work. Angelus might make that exact color too.
-
Ed, thanks. The shape just screamed out at me. Do something different...so i did
-
Well dang! I stumbled onto something useful for a change! Sweet!
-
Benlilly, I haven't used it yet. I wanted to use it to mold the case I made for it, but I needed it for wet molding! I can totally see how it will be nice for that though.
-
Thanks everyone! Bluesman, you're right. I wet formed after tooling and dye, so I was just careful about the eagle and sort of molded around him.

Nothing Fancy
immiketoo replied to Blazin's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
That is a solid, well made piece! -
Thanks dude! I totally do, and I have to admit I'm pretty stoked about this one. It was like the old Recee's peanut butter cup commercials... You got chocolate in my peanut butter! You got peanut butter on my chocolate! Hey, wait a minute...
