Nice, Dan!

That is gorgeous!

So cool! It looks almost edible.

Really cool!

It turned out great! Your artwork is really amazing.

I don't have anything you'd need, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the video. It would be hugely helpful.

LOL Troy... I did have to laugh when I got there. Darn keyboards.

N/p, I understand. I could always take apart one of their shirts, worst case scenario.

IT looks great, gafer!

Very cool! I don't know why I didn't see it before...

Nice, Joe, I like it a lot!

Wow, you're doing a great job. It's fun to see before and after pictures as you improve, too. Surprisingly, it makes it more impressive rather than the other way around. Love the flasks.

Cool style you've got going there!

Thanks Big Sioux and Bruce, the explanation and Bruce's tutorial answer all of my questions. Thanks a lot! It's amazing how much easier it is to understand once it's drawn out on paper.

Fun idea! You could also do chess pieces at some point....

LOL, ditto Grey Drakkon, just really quickly hand stitched all the way around the flap and the strap. Really quick. Great job, Dan. I like this one a lot. I like the flaps that go inwards on each side. No way I'm letting any of my relatives see these threads.

I'd be interested in the pdf as well - I really like the shape of the scoop on the card pockets.

Very, very nice! Where did you get your pattern? At some point, I'd love to make buckskin shirts for my kids. They'd freak out.

You could use your "problem" as a selling point.... just a thought. You could say that you don't mass produce in any way, shape, or form, and each item you make is unique to itself. Charge more, and charge by the hour for your creativity. You'll still get faster, the more things you make. Ha, I wasn't even able to stock up for Christmas. Granted, I was a bit busy with custom orders based on my one-offs that people liked. But I see your problem; it works fine if it's a hobby, but if you're actually trying to make a living at it, you really want to conserve time. Do you have a webpage? I'd be interested to see some things you make.

I know what you mean. I get bored pretty fast and tend to move from project to project quickly. My idea of hell is making ten of the same thing in a row. Of course, if you like repetition, more power to you. While skipping around has made me learn slower, I do think you still learn. And maybe not even slower. You learn one thing from one project, and it gets applied to the next thing you make. I'm not sure if there's an answer to your question.

I love the intertwining dragons tooling. Very cool.

I like it better every time I see it. Nice job, Joe.

My husband and I were looking at those online two nights ago and arguing about how they work. Do they cut all the square bits off of a long piece of leather as you send it through, or does it fold and compress the leather?

Nice binder, Jempy. I really like the two leathers.
