Man that is pretty!!

Photos, as they say, are worth a thousand words!! It would be awesome if you have some to post.

After!!

Gary, That looks awesome!! You got a very happy friend I imagine!! How did you attach it to the bike, I can see the upper portion looks to be tucked under the glass trim piece, did you cement the rest?

Awesome Job Roger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! could I see some closer pics of the tiger if possible, love the coloring Bro!!!

I like the snap closure also! I agree with Pete the egdes could use a little work. Great job though!

What is wet seaming, can you explain it or point me in the directions of a book or tutorial? Thanks in advance! Brad

Coffee, black and thick (just like I used to get in the Army)!!!

I thought it was for athletes foot!! Thanks for the advice Jim!!! What is your website address by the way??

Thanks Luke!

Thank you everyone who works to keep this site up and running and the best leather site on the net!!

Do a search here on the forums there are a couple of people on here that make them, I need to get one made myself.

So I took my wallet and journal to work yesterday (pictures posted in showoff area) and one of my coworkers order a trifold wallet with a tooled border and his initials. Woot, my first job that is not a friend or family member!!!!! now.. what do I charge???? I am going to use the Tandy kit for the insert and then a piece of Herman and Oak for the shell (outside) piece... He wants just a simple border and then I am going to use letter stamps for his intials. Does $40 seem to steep? Brad

Watermarks across the picture is quite effective, just make it translucent

Welcome back Kevin!!!! Awesome work as always.

Are you using metal drill bits and not wood? Maybe try a diamond tipped drill bit?

Thanks Spider!

As the other have stated the Tandy books are good, but I am new to leather working myself and I think I have learned more here than from anywere else, you have found a great site!! Welcome!!!

That looks really good!! It intrigues me enough I may have to give it a try!!

Thanks Darryl!! I figured as much but this is gong to be a purse for the wife and I didn't want to mess it up.

Which is the best route to go, I just tested my batch that has been sitting a week and it works great... But not sure which to do first the tooling and then dying with the vinegaroon or the other way around. Will dunking it and rinsing it after tooling make the leather swell and ruin the tooling? I guess I could do a test piece....

lol

HEHE, Tom! I am actually on the website about to push purchase, trying to decide if I should talk to the wife first or just ask for forgiveness once it gets here. That is one wicked ride!!!

The top one, maybe time travel, did it come with a seat?

Those are great, I too like the way the straps go into the sole and leave no bumps! Where did you find the pattern?
