Samurai V. Dragon

Thanks, yo! Even though these big one's hurt my brain trying to figure out the proper order of layers, they're still my favorite to do. Thanks! As Russ stated above, I use a Juki DNU1541. Love the damn thing. I'd be lost without it, actually. Thanks again for all the compliments! KK -
I think it looks fine. Make the changes to the stitching...stitch from the outside rather than inside for the prettier stitch, and hide those raw edges on the pockets and you'll be good to go. I might suggest flipping the pocket on the left side of the wallet so that the opening faces the inside of the wallet...to prevent cards from slipping out of the wallet when closed. I have a Highlead bell knife skiver. Best investment I ever made. Highlead makes just about all of the skivers out there. The other companies just stick their label on em and mark em up. Check em out.

Neat. Stolen.

Sorry about the poor image quality; I'm having camera issues. Messy work bench... The canvas... Fancy Schmancy stitching... Lining time... Quick trip to the skiver... Needle and thread time... Too bad it'll never be seen... All done with customer supplied buckle...

Ink To Leather
Kevin King replied to Kevin King's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Thanks! I just took another order from the same customer for another tattoo project. Should be super cool. -
Some stiff fiber-y stuff. I don't know what it's called. Only in the fingers and thumb and near the wrist. It's basically a glove inside a glove. Still have to make the inner glove, then hopefully stitch and lace it all together. Next week maybe.

Thanks, buddy. I can already see some things I'm going to have to change if I make another one.

I have always admired, and been confused at how much goes into making a baseball glove. So I decided to give it a go.... Templates Pieces Sewn together Palm Palm and back sewn together Turning Progress so far Still have a lot to go, but gotta get back to the job list. Ill work on it here and there. Wish me luck...it'll either be super cool or a huge disaster. One of the two.

How To Turn Sewn Leather Items Inside Out?
Kevin King replied to stomper4x4's topic in How Do I Do That?
Skiving just the edges should help. -
Thanks! If I knew then what I know now, (about pricing and what people are willing to pay) I would've been charging a lot more back then. It's all about perceived value. Plus, at the prices you listed, you're working for free.
-
Double those prices....at least.

It's very cool music. Son House. Look him up.

I usually tear it up pretty good when I go back home to Springfield for leather. This is a short video featuring some of my friends from the most recent visit.

Scrap Bin Zombie Wallet
Kevin King replied to Kevin King's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Thanks. The zombie is a customer supplied logo. I didn't design it, was just lucky enough to get to recreate it in leather. I load up with a couple pounds of scrap from springfield leather when I go. I pick out leather that looks cool or whatever. You never know what you'll be asked to make. Thanks again. KK -
