Thanks for the welcome! Aaron, I'll have to stop by some time. Saturday is pretty much my only day I can get to Tandy or OR Leather for supplies. When do you meet?

I really like this case! I like the contrasting edges with the white face. I also like those white snaps! How do you form and fit the end pieces? Is the leather just thin enough that it conforms to the curves when you stitch?

Hello from Portland Oregon! I have been hooked on leather work after fumbling through my first few projects, and I am enjoying building my skills (and tool collection.) I've been reading these forums for a little while, but this is my first post. There is so much information on here that I feel pretty lucky to have stumbled onto it! Being new I don't feel like I have much advice or help to offer, so I'll just put up a couple photos of my humble workbench and projects. I look forward to conversing and learning more from all the talented folks on these boards! The first pic is my little work corner under the eaves in the attic. Second is my workbench I built out of wood from the salvage yard. Third is my stitching pony I built from left over flooring. I call it my stitching donkey... Fourth is my first project. I was pretty proud of it, but now it looks kind of ragged. Works though! Last is a little card case with some proper saddle stitching (thanks, donkey!) Not great, but improving. I'll put some pics up for critiques at some point after I get another little project or two done. Thanks for looking! -N
