Fun post! Here's my Halloween projects. My wife will be the plague nurse in the white mask and hat. I'll be the plague doctor wearing black half-mask and hat. I'll follow up with some full costume poses after the weekend. The leather is all 6-7 ounce veg-tan from Tandy. I get the white by applying 3 or 4 coats of cheap white shoe polish to the flesh side and then sealing with liquid floor wax. The black on the skull bag was obtained with vinegroon. The black on the half-mask is Fiebings pro dye with floor wax finish.

Tandy sells something they call Tanner's Bond double sided tape and it works very well for me in many situations. It comes in a few different widths and is relatively inexpensive. Give it a try, you'll probably find sometime to like about it. https://tandyleather.com/products/2535-650-tanners-bond-adhesive-tape

That looks great. The holster will outlive the drill for sure.

Scott... that's very interesting. If it's not a trade secret, which of the ingredients acts as a sealant? I'm going to try my hand at making some beeswax-based conditioner and would like to experiment with the sealant idea as well. Thanks

That turned out great! I made the same pattern and afterwards I was found myself wishing I had used another closure type besides the zipper. I really like how you did yours, and may make another and steady your solution. Can you share a few more pictures of it open along with the latch, if any.

Nice job on the design and the build! Looks great.

Thanks for sharing all of that insight. Very interesting.

Yes, the splitter is still available.

He should love the new wallet. Looks great

My $0.02.... unless your punching and stitching skills are real good, I'd leave it just like it is. If/when the glue ever stops holding, you could punch it then and re-glue/stitch. I'd be afraid of one of my punches not being aligned and ruining the look.

I know that this is an old thread, but I just got a Cricut Maker being and this kind of information is very helpful. Thanks @AmyK for putting it together and sharing

Thanks for sharing those details. I have that splitter and have needed to adjust it for a while now but didn't know where to start.

Wow, that' a really great design.

Those letter do look great. I'll give that a try tomorrow after work. My worry would be the accidental touchdown of the alphabet stamp in the wrong spot.

nice job. I think it looks great... One of your comments make made literally LOL out loud. I'm at the point in my leather craft journey to REALLY need to learn how to tool leather like that. But at the same time, I also REALLY don't think I would enjoy it.

THat's really cool. I think it needs some little feet though.

Cool, I didn't know that. thanks

Wow. That looks awesome!

Wow, that's a great variety of looks and styles.

YEah, the card offset is interesting. I might make it next week to see how it "rides and "sits". Thanks for sharing the pattern

That's a cute idea. I bet you had fun putting it together and incorporating the little surprises.

That's a very creative project and I think it turned out great.

That whole project turned out great! That little cast-off comment probably covers up a lot of time and skill. I'd like to hear some details about that part of the projective you don't mind. I might have some spare time in the next month to get my feet wet in something like that.

That's stunning! Wow.

Dan, I'd appreciate any extra detail you are willing to share about that technique. -Dave
