Thank you all! I’m beyond stoked to make these for the bands after being a huge fan of theirs for years.

I recently received these commissions from two of my favorite bands: leather album sleeves! These are super limited editions and contain a test pressing of each EP. The brown split album has an actual tintype photograph slipped into the frame. Artwork and track listings are laser engraved and I made embossing plates for the Celtic knot work and the overall art on the green Rumjacks' album.

Hey all! Just finished this clutch wallet I made. I combined hand tooling with laser engraving. Came out very cool if I may so so. Thanks for looking!

Thank for the reply! What I'm left with is basically the shoulder size panel. It's thick stuff so not suited for what you've listed. I cut a bunch of it for coasters but I have SOOO much it's kind of a burden. lol It's Wicket & Craig bridle leather (good stuff!)

Hello! I need some help with ideas! I make belts out of 10/12 ounce bridle but when I buy a side I always cut it down to about 55 inches in length. I'm left with a good portion of the hide which I use to make small strap items. My problem is the leftovers are starting to stack up and don't know what to make out of these larger panels. I can only make so many key fobs. In short, what else could I make? I need ideas! Thanks in advance.

Nice!

Thanks all! I only made three of these and they sold out the same evening I posted them. Gotta love that! Time to make more.

Hi all, Here’s a clutch wallet I made the other day. The sunflowers were laser engraved then painted with leather dyes.

Thanks for the reply! My apologies, I think I was overthinking this. So my screws have domed caps and should closely match the concave underside of the coin and make for a solid bond. I probably need shorter screws too if I’m just putting these on thinner pieces like a wallet as mine are .25”.

Thank you! It’s both machine and hand stitched. The main body done on my Cobra Class 4, the handle and D-ring tabs are hand stitched. Thanks! Yeah I’ll need to hunt this one down in a couple of months to see how it’s looking.

Thank you for the instructions on this! I’ve been thinking about making coin conchos. One question: where do you find the rivet snap tubes without the cap? I’d like to use Chicago screws as well but I have no clue where to find just the female end without a base.

Thank you! I haven't looked but you night be a blessing to score a copy of CS6 off eBay or something. Thanks! Thank you! You're welcome for the pattern. Please post your sheath too, I'd love to see it!

Thanks!

I find it easy to use, but I’ve also been using it for close to 25 years. There are a lot of tutorials out there you should check out. It’s great software.

Yes, I drew the pattern in illustrator after tracing the blade. The PDF I included up there contains vector lines if you’d like to lase it too.
