    I found them, only downfall is I am unsure of snap size and thread size, this place sells everything separately and descriptions are a bit lacking, but I figure once I have these a trip to hardware store solves the rest. I am wanting to use them as a way to fasten a belt loop for an IWB holster that would allow for can’t adjustment and snap without using multiple pieces of hardware.

    @rustyj58 I am going my own route with it. Currently in design for the website right now. I will have some mass run items as to work on bringing in a flow of income to keep margin steady but also do the one off requests. I think having multiple mass run small items is important because it can provide well. One order a month for $200 is nice but 100 orders added on of $5 keychains is able to pay overhead maintenance cost of the website, the electric at shop, phone bill, internet and still leave some for plenty of supplies to keep running. Plus I am going to try and offer something in all price ranges from the $5 keychain on up

    Beautiful work ! Wow !  The red thread really makes a nice contrast.   I have a question - Have you seen anyone or have you done anything non traditional Sheridan style ? I've been wanting to see some examples...  Thanks 

    Craig

    Thank you!  I have not done anything outside of the Sheridan style yet, but I am about to start something soon. Once I have something I will tag you in it.

    Okay, gotcha! 

    You obviously put a lot of thought into this! :lol:

    Yes, lots off thought to make it serve a personal purpose. I do think that if it was not for my own use and something to sell I would have made it in a more traditional way. I probably would have left the clip off and added a few more pockets to accommodate businesse cards and maybe a pen loop. I didn't put one on mine since unless I always care a pen and pocket book anyway.

    Okay what am I looking at when I see the inside of the pad? Is that the flesh side of the leather that's so very white? I think it would look better if you dyed it to more or less match the rest of the inside.

    Also, the pad clip should be centered and on the other side of the pad, so any paper you clip to it doesn't block access to the card holder.

    I have several commercially made padfolios and the  pad is ALWAYS on the right side, and so is the clip if there is one.

    Also, having it on the right will prevent the rivets from the clip eventually marring your lovely carving and stamping!

    Yes the white is flesh side, it is actually a preference of mine and since this is for personal use I decided to leave it natural. Normally I do spray dye the flesh.

    My first thoughts were to place everything as it would have been in a usual padfolio but this position would give me quick access to everything I use at work. The note pad does slip in from the top on right side, then the clip will hold driver paperwork which is normally only 6x5 which still leaves access to my pocket that is actually oversized to allow for holding a pocket calculator.

    The rivets were set in a position to where if I do fold it won't land on tooling but on excess border.

    @Sheilajeanne It does kind of look like it's gone, I have not noticed that. :unsure: I was planning on doing basket weave in corners but now you got me thinking about removal and inlay of something that would really pop like stingray or ostrich or something!

    I need thoughts and opinions here. I am concerned about overall strenght and regidity of it since I do plan on using this at work and will be carrying it around for 8-10 hours a day.

    nice job. I really like how deep your knife cuts are, that is something I need to work on.

    It took me a long time to figure it out, mostly figuring out that the tandy blades really need sharpened and strapped to a great finish, stoned up to 2000 grit, then strapped on brown paste, then white, then green. Now smooth as butter. Plus I have a bad habbit of rushing things and not allowing enough time for water to fully settle in the leather and even out.

    Why? I think that the lines from the bar grounder look nice. Swoopy. 

    ‘I think it looks really nice so far.

    Thank you. Overall it's not bad, I did stanp some ground beef in some areas, but one those mistakes that most would not notice except those that know the problems of going stamp happy
