  1. Me likey. That's just the thing for a point of purchase at fairs and festivals. Most everybody has a cell phone and keys. I've taken the year off from setting up a vendors table but I've got ideas for next year and that'll fit right in.
  2. I have personally found that my best selling item at area fairs and festivals is a simple unfinished leather pouch. I make them out of 2-3 ounce milled veg. tan. I also have samples of my work and hand out lotsa cards. Most of my sales are from orders after the event's over. Some are placed on the spot.
  3. I didn't see anything for top coating or finishing. I use Gum Tragacanth for burnishing my edges and Neatsfoot Oil and Tan-Kote for finishing.
  4. I like it. Good idea for a portable table top stitchin' pony. The clamps can be useful for other things as well.
  5. This is some of the sharp, pointy stuff I use. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGAB9wft3wc Stitching stuff. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7e7nlXMFAVg I've got more stuff on my YouTube Channel. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA
  6. My wife and I both used to work in factories together. I know that all I gotta do is show her something once and off she goes. I was getting kinda backed up on orders and she wanted to help. I showed her and off she went. It was really something to watch her hands go. Kinda like watching a leather stitching video of me but at double speed. Next time I think I'll get it on video and post it on my YouTube channel. My wife's Italian and I'm an American Indian. A loud emotional Italian and a quiet stoic Injun, we're quite the pair.
  7. That's a nice one. I've been meaning to do more lacing but I seem to end up stitching everything.
  8. I used a magnetic clasp on this cell phone case. Works pretty good.
  9. Took me about 6 to 8 hours to hand stitch this belt. It's 2 layers of 9-10 ounce. My wife hand stitched this ranger belt in about half that time. It's 7-8 ounce with a 4-5 ounce liner. Guess who does the belt stitching now.
  10. I use an American Indian Pictograph of a Bear Paw. It's small, unobtrusive and marks it as one of mine. I actually get enough work by word of mouth to keep me comfortably busy.
  11. Those are very nice.

  16. Redbone, It's dyed with Fiebings Professional Oil Dye in Saddle Tan. I have a video on an AIWB holster. The color's different but the finishing procedure's the same. If you interested, I've got more leather working videos plus some general silliness on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA/videos I'm about to start a few projects, so stay tuned.
