Fantasy Scale Lamellae Cuirass

[Fantasy Scale Lamellae Cuirass]

Posting a few pix to see what you people think. This leather is 100% post commercial waste.

[Does anyone know who made these tools?]

Yeah. Looks like a Tandy page alright.

There's actually 3!  The two are made of a bit of fabric that lines up perfectly with the background. 

Sneaky... I missed the other pockets...

[Stitching horse.]

Lucky Duck! I would love to have a project like this.

[Rattlesnake Knife Sheath]

Yeah... How did you construct the skin into the leather? I'm very curious about the lining if you did use one. I am also interested in rattler skins and any advice to go with them.

[New collar for my dog]

That's a tough looking collar. Tough looking dog too!

Looks great!  Hmmm, I wonder...use a thinner leather and cover it with rattlesnake skin...maybe an oval cutout in the middle for the rattle?  

That would be sharp indeed...

[Tooled Gun Rig]

Nice rig. How hard was it to tame the loops in the gusset for your bullet loops?

[Wallet and money clip]

Is that a re-stitch job? The leather looks worn compared to the bright white thread you have there. 

[One of latest works]

Beautiful. I could sell these all day long. Nice craftsmanship!

[Show your Shop]

@Jordan I'd be afraid of messing up my beautiful workbench. Something like that belongs indoors! LOL 

[Campaign Chair]

I love the chair. Nice craftsmanship. What kind of wood did you use?

My motto is "If you can't do it over the top, why bother?"  And friend, that is WAY over the top.   Very nice indeed.

I like your motto...

[First time using edge paint from Giardini]

Does anyone here use gum tragacanth when they burnish?

[Show me your wallet]

Wow. There's a lot of great wallets here. I think it's time to make a new one for myself. Nice work everyone!

There was a recent thread about this technique of creasing and sculpting the leather. Can you describe your method?

 

What he asked and how does the painting for the eye work?

[Pocket Protectors]

Very clean work. You have much luck on Etsy?

[Japanese Knot Purse]

That's alot of hand stitching... I love the little pocket on the inside.

[Sliding Rectangle Buckle Placement]

So without a bunch of confusing explanations I have drawn up a diagram to illustrate my question.

This case will open to a flat container.

The buckle I am using is a rectangle with sliding center.

Which should be the billet and which should be the buckle in this scenario?

[Pattern Search for Shooting Bag]

Shotshell bags like the one pictured aren't for carrying 12 boxes. It is for carrying 8 boxes plus accessories in the smaller bag. If you wanted a leather project for carrying 12, you could just rig up a strap to carry the cardboard case as it comes from the store.

[Hello from Belgrade]

Love the work and of course would love to see these tools everyone is talking about. What is the first case for? Any particular item?  It reminds me of my Dad's Sam Browne belt. It looks good. Nice work!

[Hello from Calgary!]

That looks really good man. I see custom ax sheaths in your future...

[Hello]

Welcome to the forums. People are great about sharing here... You'll dig it.

[Hi folks,]

Very clean work... And yes, a belt and a wallet indeed!

[Introductions]

Welcome. Let's see some work!
