Appreciate it! Thank you much! Thanks! and I am hoping to sell it, we'll see how it goes. and I think I'd get a lot of frowns from those around me that are drooling on it hoping they get to use it if it won't sell... Plenty of room for improvement, things show up when you photograph them and look too closely, so I'll have to work on improving them in the future. But, I'm generally pleased with the outcome. YinTx

Some interior looks:

Used some more Wickett and Craig bridle leather I had, along with some soft lining leather. Still room for improvement, but I'm not embarrassed this time around! Fil au Chinois thread, RiRi zipper. YinTx

That flower is turning out really well, and I like the decorative cuts! most difficult part for me... YinTx

Really stylish, I like the curves. I do have a question on the rivet. I had considered putting one in a sheath I made in the past, but I worried the blade would drag across it. Is it somehow protected from that, maybe with the welt? YinTx

Thanks. There is no bent metal clip, the loop is stitched at the base. I wonder myself how well it will hold up, but it is double stitched at the stress points. Probably would be better to have a rivet in there or something next time around. YinTx

That is a FANTASTIC bag! The stitching is flawless, edges well done, awesome liner - everything to love about it, nothing not to like! It will make it's way into the hands of an appreciative owner eventually! Folks are pretty selective about their purse styles... oh well. YinTx

Yeah, pity that. I like having sales done! YinTx

Appreciate it! As far as the blade.. I don't know... waiting on any fellow with a folding blade to decide to buy it off my table next weekend! YinTx

Thanks for the compliment. The leather is just a piece of scrap embossed low grade cow hide, so one could be forgiven for not being able to easily identify the creature! Thank you, and I thought about this as I was making it. Hoping I got it right, but still not sure? Hahah! Thanks, and I was hoping to get one or two of those bigger bills when I sell it... could use them in the next photo of my second wallet! YinTx

Wicket and Craig bridle leather wallet. Fully lined, interior zipper pocket and 6 card slots. 50s diner or drive in look? There is some pain associated with a bit of failure on this wallet... so first I'll show the good stuff. Maybe if I get over the embarrassment, I'll show the failure... YinTx

@Stetson912 and @chuck123wapati, Thank you both! YinTx

Appreciate all the positive sentiments, especially since I just botched a week's worth of work on a wallet with the last bit of stitching! I'll post it later so everyone can commiserate with me. @battlemunky, that is just Fenice edge paint, since the liner can not be burnished. Not sure how long it'll hold up to repeated knife use, time will tell! YinTx

The design was simple, maybe version 2 will come out better! Open to critique. The leather was really thin, so will probably use thicker leather in the future or a soft backer board when tooling to get better depth. YinTx

I am surprised they didn't just recommend regular tooling leather. You can dye it, oil it/ leave it, tool it, stamp it or not. All up to you. W&C tooling is generally nice stuff. I'll let others chime in on skirting, as I don't think I have any of that. YinTx

They look quite nice. Small items are hard to do because you have to be exact with everything, small errors look big. These are looking pretty flawless! YinTx

It isn't perfect, and priced accordingly! Soft leather - like super softy pig, would be good liner leather or do as you please. Has some dark coloring mottled on it, and a small hole. It's not all marked up, some sections are fairly nice. See photos for best description!

Exceptionally well done. I had a bag like that with an extended flap that had velcro on it, easy to manage on the run, but probably not very bespoke to go with alligator and Haas. Perhaps a snap instead, or a long flap that goes over the side and pulls down with a trigger snap/ring combo that could be operated one handed? YinTx

This came out nice! As for weight, I can only see it adding a few ounces to the hat. From someone that used to wear a hard hat on a day job, that additional weight seems pretty inconsequential. YMMV of course! I've used from 2 oz up to 9 oz like this before, all seemed to work out ok. YinTx

Recent carving from an old craftaid I assume? Nicely done, look forward to seeing the final version! I have ended up with some rather old patterns and such myself, I look forward to making some of them. YinTx

Outstanding! A whole range of skills needed to do that! YinTx

Nifty, a lot of design work on those. Congrats on the commission! YinTx

That is really incredible, and definitely a niche around here! I really like the pincushion floor. YinTx

I've seen weed-eater cord used before... YinTx

Thank you kindly. I have to draw on other works as well, only a very few items I have come up with on my own. YinTx
