Water? Indio? The Salton Sea then? (seriously...thats a beautifully crafted piece you made)

Very nice project!

Just finished this custom Leatherman Surge belt sheath. Molded leather, with a side pen holder. Also, I built in a small "pocket" behind the main compartment to store the extra removable saw blase and file. This is for my son, who needs it at work and the factory LM sheath just didnt cut the mustard for him. I think he liked it....he called it "legit"!

I'm a big knife fan, one of my favorite patterns is the Case Peanut. I currently have 4 of them. This is my second molded item...a pocket case for this small pocket knife..... This is a synthetic purple model....and the slip pays homage to that by being dyed purple inside. Dark green stitching. Pretty pleased with it. Started a work-carry molded shesth with my younger son today for his Leatherman tool. That'll be my most complex item yet.

Very well done and appropriately British-esque.

Cjartist-Yes, I think she does like it. Now Im on the hook to take her out so she can use it! billybopp-LOL. See my reply to Cj, above! (I guess a trip to Wal-Mart or Home Depot doesn't cou t then?) Thanks for the compliments. When I've through the Tandy shoulder Ive been working off of, I'm gonna spend a little more on some better quality skin. Anyone have any suggestions? That was my first non-remnants buy...

Made this for my wife. For the (rare) evening out on the town. Holds ID, credit cards and some bills.

I call those "errand-mocs" and they look quite comfy. Well done.

Very nice work. You should be proud. I've done a few knife and pen slips as well....those are small but real skill builders IMO. I don't know if its considered good form or not, but I drop the uppermost stitches into a groove on the outer edge to minimize wear since they typically ride in (and out) of my pocket.

Great info amd Thanks for sharing it. (And NO freezing isnt an issue around these parts!)

Thanks. No I didnt paint the thread ( it's all I can do to get it stitched! ) It is available at Tandy like that.

My third coin purse. Made for a friend at work....and my first hand-tooled project. Constructive criticism welcomed.

Thank you both for the replies, and YES the acrylic oaint/dyes are what Im most interested in, so yes I am going to try them. Thanks again

Im unhappy with my Tandy brand (eco flo) chemicals...the bottles come with a paper "seal" inside the caps, and it rapidly disintegrates leaving a leaky bottle, or one which dries up well before I can use the contents up. Im looking at some Angelus brands, they have a very large selection of colors and what appears to be packaged in a glass bottle, its listed as a "dye" but appears to be a paint.... Im in California and several Fiebings items on the web state they cannot be shippped to the Golden State. So...anyone have any practical experience with Angelus products?

Wow! Nicely done.

Cat litter? Its removed oil from my concrete....

Very nice. Is there somewhere you can point me to view your knives?

Thank you for the compliment on that pouch. It leaves tomorrow for Germany where it will carry Euros. I'm in the Inland Empire...Riverside County. Im in high-tech sales by day believe it or not, but I've always tried to keep my hands busy when not working and keep my creative juices flowing. I recently ended a 30+ 2-wheel riding "career" and now I have no motorcycles or scooters to ride, maintain and rebuild, and returned to leather as a compliment to my knife and multi-tool interests. Your screen name is exactly what I wanted when I registered on this site....but it was taken! LOL

Just checking-in from, and getting my new hobby started from Southern Calif..... Have half a dozen or so completed leather projects under my belt....here's a coin purse I completed from scratch. Look forward to (and already have) gaining some valuable tips and techniques and maybe, just maybe I can add a few of my own to the mix.
