Dunno if you have already got the side or nit, but spfd leather will strap cut the side for you cheap, ask for rusty

Don't be afraid of competition guys. Toss the kid a couple of bucks, and even more important your wise critique. He is trying to get started and that's a heck of a lot better than a lot his age. Jeez!

How about a swing gate

Hi, my name is Mojo George and I have a leather addiction... My wife left this note in my laptop bag;)

The Making of shoes and boots is a mystery that I would love to learn about, hopefully you would consider sharing your experience Mojo Geo

Those are freaking spiffy! The leather looks like a chrome tan, but I know that's wrong cause you carved it! Hmmm inquiring minds want to know... Mojo Geo D, 12 sides are the most fun D, 12 sides are the most fun

Looks great! I will post some picks this weekend of a new dicebox and rolling tray built as a leather bound book Looks great!

That is freakin cool! Quick, fun and great for larping

Thank you for sharing these patterns, I hope to be able to work something up. If I get them done, I will send photo's thanx again geo

I really love this design, thanks for sharing! I will get the Butterick Pattern and get to work Will you be sharing this pattern?

Consider making a slipcover... you were all good till you wanted to rebind new paper...

I have had good luck with angelus acrylics Mojo Geo

I REALLY appreciate all the comments, gonna try again with a large poster titled.... Do This Next! Hopefully doing things in the proper order will help. I used my wing dividers set 1/8 for stitch line should I go to 1/4 or somewhere in between? Also, I have a grooved, but thought it was only for very thick leathers, this was 5 oz, once again, a heartfelt thanx Mojo Geo

Thanx... Gonna try again, hopefully we will see some improvements... Really gotta find a way to compress time in finishing

I actually did most of the steps in reverse in making this.... and it glares error... error... error at me; Luckily my brother has a forgiving nature and decided he liked it...\ After looking at all of the members images I am a little embarrassed to post this... \ errors that I am seeing Uneven stitching... getting better every project tho edges are wavy .... I have been dying then edjing.. Dohhhh!! Next one should fix that Dye is uneven.... read up on dying... need to deglaze, then light neatsfoot, next day very light oil, then dye.... I usually have less time to do an entire project than just the time needed to do a proper dye job... I used the cheapest Import I could get at Springfield leather... and after dying a great big cut showed up... hhhhhmmmmm (I think I will call it a beauty mark, Marilyn Monroe had a mole ) I am getting better, but way slower than I would like.. Time to go truck... heading to Sidney Oh with a bunch of romaine lettuce.. Merry Christmas to all Mojo Geo

I'm in

Beauty!! Still on the road, I hope to be playing with the new toy by Christmas

Wow! I really like this design, would you give us construction notes?

Glad to meet you!

There is a member here who has posted a couple of videos recently, he is also selling plans for the bag... it sounds like what you may be wanting to make... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=51902 I have not purchased his plans, but I betcha the quantities are in there.... MojoGeo

I use cheap disposable plastic cutting boards, get them in a 3 pack at the dollar store

I hear u, but it sure does sound like a Nigerian prince type of deal...

I believe the box in the middle consists of plugs covered in leather MojoGeo
