Very nice! What weight did you use?

The pattern is spot on for that project. I must say , your tooling is magnificent! I too was introduced in the 7th grade shop class. I am so grateful that they taught trades in school back in the day. IMO they need to go back to it again. I did not keep up with tooling over the years, but I am now finding myself being drawn back to it lately, thanks for the inspiration and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. P.S. Your daughter is going to be doing some BIG TIME bragging on her Dad!

Man that is really nice! How tall is it? Looks like a bunch of leather, and a little bit of stitching lol.

I don't think him liking it will be a problem. A touchdown all the way around! I really like the feather and the dye color. Have a great Christmas and happy New Year!

I love pocket watches, I have two that could use a pouch.That is inspiring, Me thinks, after Christmas , I will have to come up with a couple. Great job!

Thanks Chuck! I see plenty of useful patterns , I appreciate the heads up and thanks for sharing!

I really admire your precision and expertise at making your watch straps. And your eye for color combinations , that I never would think of trying. I know that those that have posted questions in the past and will in the future , will benefit from your kindness in sharing the array of tools needed to do it the craftsman's way. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The design just flows perfectly. One lucky daughter will have a Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have found that this is a great source for ostrich legs. The quality is awesome and a vast color range . I have bought two from him. the first is a washed denim color and the second I just got two days ago is a red( I forgot the shade of red). I looked at Tandy first but decided to go with Ray, because of his reviews and I thought he had more color options I was looking for. That green looks amazing, and so does your work as usual. I will post below the two I got from him. Let me say this, I have no connection to this business, just a satisfied customer, and just letting fellow leather workers know another source for leather.

You really have got the hat making down. I also enjoyed your original hat post. Have you taken any to the market when your out? The right person will shell out $$$$ for those.

At the very least, you can make a decent pattern from the pieces you have. And now that you have wet our whistle , you have to gitter done. Thanks for sharing your treasure find.

Really nice , I have a pro petal on my Christmas wish list , hoping Santy comes thru, lol

All three are awesome. That is a very nice border you did on the basket weave sheath. The initial carving is something I wish I could do. I have trouble just stamping letters lol.

I like it. Only I would use a lighter weight thread and run a groove line, to "sink" the stitch so it does'nt ride above the leather.

Very nice, I like that washed or faded look of the rose.

That is one amazing piece of work.

There is a forum Leather Sewing Machines, I would go there and post any questions you might have.

Welcome to the forum, from the horse capital of the world.

Yes, you would have to be legal before selling those images.

You could sell a ton of those at a Comic con event. Those are really nice. Can't wait to see where you take the next set.

Looks awesome to me!

The last time Tampa had a direct hit was in 1921, and it was a cat 4. Tampa was under 11 feet of water. What worries me is that the older construction has not been put to the "test", in 100 years. Certainly not up to current hurricane codes.

To all fellow Floridians, STAY SAFE. It looks like Ian has us in it's sights. I hope and pray no where near a cat 4.

Very nice stamping ! That is a well thought out design.
