I was inspired to try a cuff with cabochon, a first. The cabochon colors remind me of Wisteria leading to a flower type theme. Will put the closure on in the morning. Gini has already tried to lay claim to it. Wanted to keep the time to a minimum maintaining a moderate price. Only 4 stamps used in the project.

Thank you for the help, will check it out. Hate to see what cigars are. Now they can put there gum in it.

Thank you for the info, will check it out. Sounds easier than the silicon.

I enjoy my pipe and cigars, so I make things useful to me. Just finished some more. The pipe tools are redone with Moose antler and the pipe rest/tool. I enjoy working with leather doesn't matter what. Love trying new things.

Thank you, a food grade silicone. Thhank you, it can be frustrating. It is a food grade silicone, if I use a split zipper it may help. The challenge of something new keeps it interesting.

Wanted a tobacco pouch, the catch was finding the proper liner to keep the moisture in and maintain flavor. Had to hand sew due to the one piece design. The zipper wasn't possible to seperate causing the issue, plus working on a way to hold it together while using the pricking irons my line wobble. Will try it out and think of ways to improve the process.

Thank you Thank you Thank you, there are quite a few different ones out there. I love the braid work, on my list to learn someday.

Designed this to fit a Buck 112 size knife, it was a fun project.

Did that yesterday. Made a pocket sleeve for a Buck 301 size knife, a Case 6375 will fit with 1/8 inch exposed. A clip was added to keep the knife in a vertical positio in your front pocket.

Sounds nice, question is the pin straight through? Ground in on one side and it didn't seem to have a head. Thank you

Seeing those lightbulbs go off drives me, loved it in my career, not a front office type (hated it). Sharing knowledge helps all of us.

Good idea, learning about slips. The small clips are hard to find, but it will be another option. Thank you Finished a horizontal belt sheath for a Large Case Stockman, messed up when tracing pattern had it upsiide down which makes this one mine to try.

Worked on a pocket sleave for a Buck 301, playing with sheaths for now. Have some mammoth tusk coming for a Buck 112 that I carry. Added knife work to fill in time until could do some leather. Thought it would be easier to add to this thread.

Thank you, it was made out of scraps that had defects, the inside has clamp marks from processing. I will use scrap to make my projects and test. Thank you Thank you, enjoy trying new things to keeps things interesting. Changed knife to and Old Timer 340OTG, Space Pen, and possible O-Light. It would have to be light or pen due to the stretch. This setup fits better, always have a Buck 112 on my belt so the pocket knife is for little things.

It has been crazy on the farm, haven't spent much time on the computer. Had some fun tonight making an EDC sleeve for my Buck 301, Kaweco Fountain Pen, and a spot for cash and cards. It was fun having to split leather with a skiving knife, it isn't even totally but it works. Going to be fun seeing it age.

Thank you for the kind words. I enjoy teaching at Tandy, they are all skill levels. I am learning also. Appreciate it, ths has been an adventure for me also. Can't wait to bring my setup down. Nice

Made 3 different knife sheath styles for a class I have the opportunity to teach in Birmingham, AL on 19 July. Love being able to show a way of designing and making these with minimal tools and expense. Used clearance bellies, contact cement, wax, glycerin soap, thread, and neets foot oil.

Good job, like the style better than steam punk.

Nice job, very clean.

Thank you, I customize knives and new scales on this one to make it mine. They are pretty good knives, glad to see they are making the Generations series back in the USA, want one soon. Thank you, thinking of European Bog wood. Put a set on a couple Bucks that look nice. Will add tp the post when done. Thank you, they are fun to make. Thank you, work gets in the way of fun at times. On the farm never know what today brings, love it getting to be around God's creation all day. Thank you, had the itch to do some, would love to make some stamps just finding the time. Hopefully soon will bring down my tools. Elk is beautiful have it on a custom Buck. Thinking about Bogwood, or deer antler have some of both save a little money. Thank you, will do.

Finished a Schrade Sharpfinger sheath. Changed the design a little from the first, pretty happy with the edge work and burnish. The handles look bad cause a custom set is going on them and in the process of removing the old.

My custom Buck 110 now has a home. The leather had some blemishes which is ok because it is going to receive more marks as I wear it. I am having fun playing with the combination of stamps, quick and looks good.

A photo of the holster being done.

Thank you. This is how I am working now, the area has to cover air rifle stuff, and knife work. One tool I purchased for the class at Tandy was a maul, just so used to it. The old setup. Tooling Holster.mp4

It is a rainy day and the ground is to wet to work. So today is an off day, working on a sheath for a Schrade Old Timer skinning knife. This pattern was made using 8 stamps in combination, This has helped me grow by forcing me to not just grab tools but to think how can I make due with what is available.
