AATW !

Nothing fancy just functional, I like the minimalist approach to what I carry, some cards and a little cash.

I too would like to be added.

Personally I am pleased with how this outfit turned out.

Very nice work!

Can it be returned if one is not satisfied with the product?

Nothing fancy but it gave me a lot of good experience stitching. Just getting my feet wet and having a good time.

Thank you!

What weight is the leather and where did you purchase it? I purchased some 3-4 oz. leather hoping to use it for wallets and card holders but it is to flimsy. I have much to learn about leather.

Yes 11 Bravos !

Much happier with the results this time. I punched the holes on this one but in the future I will be using pricking irons and smaller needles and Tiger thread.

Very nice, what isn't there to like.

I did not bother posting a pic of my first effort, it was really bad. One of my goals was to improve on my stitch. As hard as I tried to control my stitch in order for some consistency I just did not accomplish my goal. I have a couple of KS Pricking Irons headed my way and will be getting away from the straight stitch. I could have easily purchased a really nice holster and belt but there is something to be said for doing your own. What I have learned is that I have much to learn and I truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge and information that can be found here.

Thanks for the tip, those are great videos!

Perfect, thank you very much!!

I am looking to purchase a pair of KS pricking Irons, my main usage will be for wallets and card holders. Is there a consensus out there for how many SPI at a maximum/minimum one would use? I am looking at 6.5 per inch but think the 7.5 would look more refined.

sinpac, I too would appreciate a template thanks!!

That is very nice! I am working on my first belt now and you set the bar really high!

Very nice!

Thank you for your well thought out critique. Lots of repetition and consistency needed to iron things out. It is a start. Thanks again.

John James needles come in packs of 25, #2 or #4 , that is enough to last me a lifetime. Would you prefer one over the other and what size thread matches up with which size needle?

Please excuse my lack clarity, I do have 4 MM Diamond Chisels, they did not seem to make enough hole for my thread. Before purchasing everything I tried but did a poor job of researching what I needed. My thread diameter is just a bit smaller than my hole but the packages do not list size for thread or needle. Trust me when I say I get what you are saying and I appreciate your input! Great advice regarding chisels and needles! Thank you!!

The holes are not drilled they are punched, I have diamond punches but the holes did not amount to much, could not get my needle and thread thru them. My preference is the straight stitch vs. the angle.

Took some scraps, punched holes and tried my hand at stitching. I am going to have to do a better job of keeping the stitches running straight. But overall I aqm pleased, I look forward to working on my first real project. It takes a lot of thread, 1' in that 3 inches.

With a minimum amount of tools and a lot of research here I have started on my first project. I have enough leather for 6 holsters. The first one will be a training experience but I plan on doing as good a job as possible. No shortage of experience to draw on right here and I plan on using it.
