Can’t wait to see your work! I’m really glad you’re here!

I really like the clasps you used on those pouches! My favorite it’s the one in the upper right corner! That would be great for carrying around edc gear, and not look like a fanny pack, haha!

would love to see custom gloves! Never thought of that!

Made this little knife for my 11 year old daughter out of a file. Came out ok. Tried some freehand with the cursive E. I need more practice dying, stamping, and planning out the design. The veiner pattern didn’t end up lining up at the back, so I improvised a makeshift flower haha. And now that I took the picture, I noticed one of the pedals needs a touch up with dye. I was more patient with casing and did notice a better definition. Thanks for the advice everyone. I Still should have waited longer tho. Thanks for looking!!

Hope the OP found what they were looking for. Wish they would post what the solution was .

Such a great pattern! This will be going into my future projects folder, my 2 kids shoot archery, they actually have a tournament this Saturday! This would be so cool to have them walk in with some custom work!!

Thank you for posting this

Thank you for attaching the PDF!

The good thing with using makeshift tools, is that when I get proper pieces, I will definitely appreciate them .

Thank you very much, Terry! I actually work in Abq, but live in Tijeras. Nice to meet you neighbor! Thank you for the offer on help, I will definitely be in touch!

Thank you for the info! I’m not as much as meticulous, but I get going, thinking I have everything planned out, then find I don’t know what I’m doing, and spend the next hour watching you tube tutorials, haha

I love Leatherman MT’s. I wish the photos were still available.

What???! I didn’t even know that was possible! Awesome !!

Ahhh, so it’s not really a normal stamping process. Thanks for the advice! Also, how often should I re-wet this thinner leather? Once it’s cased the first time, is it good to go throughout the session? What if I need to stop for a few hrs? Or even the next day?

Yes definitely a welt. I died it a lighter brown to stand out a bit. The holes I started out with were toooo big, I bought one of those interchangeable hole stamp things from my local Tandy, thinking it would be what I needed. I quickly learned that even the smallest bit made huge holes, especially stamping through more than one layer. I didn’t like the sinew color on this particular project. Ended up marking my grove with my kids school compass, marked the holes with a modified fork and drilled the holes out. I’m compiling a list of tools that I need as I go along. So Groover and correct hole punches are the next purchases. Thank you for the comment!

This is very helpful. Thanks!

First time trying my hand at some freehand carving. Unrefined, but my daughter was happy with the surprise . I’m finding that I have a hard time using the beveler.

Nice! I really like the shading around the edges. I’m a novice as well, that is a great job s2!

Really nice! Great idea for a gift

Hello all! my name is Jason. I just finished this knife sheath and scales on this Camillus knife. It was my initial attempt at both, and look forward to more leather work. After it was all said and done, I can honestly say that the sheath was my favorite part of the project. I have a small set of basic stamps that I have had for a few years. I’ve recently gotten interested in the hobby again and bought a few other tools to finish this sheath. I am a novice at everything, this was my first attempt at the saddle stitch. I found mistakes that I will learn from and do differently in the future. I look forward to going through the topics in this forum!
