I've taken a shot at dopp bags a couple of times but they never come out worth a damn especially if I try to do the lining. Wish mine came out half that good...I should also mention that mine are hand sewn so maybe that's a reason too, idk...

Someone pointed it out to me so I had to give it a go at making it

Now you got me lol I've never seen/heard of that one.

Honestly most people know what it is and actually like the idea

Thank you! Definitely something I wouldn't have thought to do, thank you. Thank you!

I made a belt with that stitching a while back myself...I know how much goes onto the stitching by hand lol nice work!!

Thank you.

Thank you!

That's EXACTLY what it is too!!

Here is a keychain design I was playing around with and after I finished it, all I could see was a certain animated starfish running. I posted it anyway and pointed out what it ended up looking like to me and someone commented that they saw something else...that something else is the second keychain. Just goes to show sometimes inspiration comes from out of nowhere to bite you in the butt lol 😆 Ok pictures decided to reverse on me. Brown keychain was what I started with, and the black was the "inspiration" keychain.

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! One of AL Stohlman's books. Might have been how to carve or his holster book. Sorry don't really remember off the top of my head

Thank you. I just followed the pattern I'll probably make my own changes along the way at some point lol

Thank you. I figured the "fancy" Chicago screws added a bit of flair rather than just plain ones. Thank you.

Thank you.

It's been awhile since I've posted here but wanted to share this rifle strap I finished up the other day Forgot to hit the follow topic button haha!

I like it!!

Did you use rivets or are those snaps?

I totally understand, I've been painting and drawing since I could hold a pencil and still don't like what I make. Thanks again!!

Hahahaha!!! Now I'm seeing a grizzly with a toothbrush going to TOWN!! Thanks, like I need that vision in my head! Yeahhhhh....patience, something I don't have very much of. But, it's done so I'll try not to do that again any time soon.

Thank you. It's kinda hard having a crappy sheath when people know you do leatherworking. Kinda like the shoemaker with barefoot kids!

Thanks. It just seems to make more sense than doing an offset. Yeah he's a little goofy looking but IMHO it's still recognizable as a deer lol. Yeah it's THICK! About 1/2 an inch on the blade side. Probably should have tried to skive more but was worried about it being too thin. Cemented, left to dry overnight then a diamond point awl. Do not recommend lol. It was not too fun stitching that's for sure!

Thanks. Its actually behind the knife blade, the second picture shows the little "button" that it fits onto to help hold it in place

I upgraded a cheap nylon sheath to something with a little more durability and style. Is it perfect? No, I still haven't been able to reach the level of perfect, but I keep trying! Also this was my first attempt at freehanding a deer head. Looks like a Buck might have gotten into a dairy barn, lol, but overall I'm pretty happy with the final outcome.
