I made a precise cutout all the way through the leather, glued a piece of 1oz blue leather to the back of the piece over the hole I cut, and glued the stone to the backing leather. The hole keeps it pretty snug in the thicker leather.

Thanks.

That is nice. If I may, how is the stone attached? Trying to figure out how to implement that. Thanks in advance.

So many cool ideas on here. Going to make that for next year.

Nice. Doing Indian saddles?

Awesome!

Thanks, I will have to try that.

Looks great! How did you do the "roll" over detail at the top? I'm new at the sheath thing.

Man, those are nice!

[Re- dying “Bonded” leather question.]

Thanks all.

That is sweet! Think I will attempt to make that. One for me and for each of my daughters for college.

[A Polish Briefcase :)]

Awesome.

[Re- dying “Bonded” leather question.]

I am thinking about dying a set of saddlebags on my Indian. In 2015 Indian went to “bonded” leather. Some call it pleather. My question is, will Fiebings oil dye work? Thanks all.

Very nice.

Dampening does make your leather softer. It also makes it easier to make unwanted impressions on the leather while your handling it. The Tandy manager we originally took classes from, was a great proponent of cutting damp leather. I have done it both ways. Since I learned to sharpen my tools well I like dry best.     

Thanks for the reply. I cut out a shape on dry leather, geez. I need patience and practice.

Thanks bikermutt. Have a buddy from Ville Platte. Trying to make some tank bibs for my Indian.

Hey all, newb question of the day. I’m going to be cutting some 8/9 oz leather for some projects with a round knife. Do I need to wet the leather prior to cutting?

After a few mistakes, from not paying attention, here is the first of hopefully lots of wallets of this type.

 

Wondering how it turned out?

Precursor to the Softride I reckon. These were a weird ride.

[Doing Solo Bobber- Video]

Very nice.

[1st round biker's bag]

Very nice.

I am still working out how to attach. Keeping metal away is a good idea. Since I'm new here, I will have to figure out how to upload pictures.

[Motorcycle Tank Bib]

Very nice.

Very nice, classy. Guess I better get to practicing.

This looks really nice - I like the way you've approached the problem. Any chance you would be willing to share your pattern?

I am also interested in the pattern. One for me and two for my college bound daughters. That bag is great!

I made a pair for my Indian out of leather. I made a template around the inside of my “highway” bars. Have not installed them yet, trying to figure out how to attach. Snaps, paracord etc..
