  1. Thanks everybody! As the saying goes (proper english aside): "I just can't not make stuff" I just can't think of what to do next! Anything bigger than a sheath seems HUGE. Monica, your bags are beautiful and I see your husband and I have lutherie in common! ( http://www.kappsguitarcompany.com ) Just another hobby that costs me money and makes me none A radio DJ friend from L.A. asked me about an iPad style case. That may be what I tackle next??
  2. +1 for Joe Bonamassa! Plus one more for Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart!! I've been into both for years and now they're jammin' together. Johnny A (albums: "Get Inside" and "Sometime Tuesday Morning") is great instrumental jazz/blues. Warren Haynes "Man in Motion" ...well, what can I say about Warren Haynes...
  3. I was visiting family and saw my brother had a Coach leather iPad case. Being a Madkrafter, I looked at it and thought "I can make that!" My inspiration solidified as I researched and found YouTube videos by Ian Atkinson. As soon as I saw his version of a multitool case I found my first project! This is my second version that I just finished. I built my first as my first leather project several months ago. It has gotten beaten up as I work maintenance on a 400 acre sports training facility. Multitools, flashlights and keys are necessary tools of the trade. One of my coworkers got sick of her nylon sheath sliding around her belt and asked me to make one for her too. The sheath is 4-5 oz leather. The keyring portion and is doubled-up 2-3 oz. It is finished with Fiebing's Light Brown Oil dye and sprayed with Acrylic Resolene. I grabbed it back from my coworker this morning (before it got beat up like mine) to take some pictures outside as the sun broke over the mountain. I made the keyring and flashlight parts detachable (in case I screwed them up!)
