Thank you, if you like I can send you a photo of the pattern for 10 1/2 size. If possible will scan for actual size pdf. I am sorry to hear about the arthritis. Thank you, there is much respect for the shoemakers. They have lots of talent. Thank you These weren't hard, if you want I can share the pattern for 10 1/2 foot.

My old house-shoes were worn out, wanted to try making a pair. Drew up a pattern and gave it a go. Sewed on a class 4 without gluing. Stitching needs improvement but they are usable and learned, if another pair is made.

Sweet, sometimes looks trump function.

Thank you for the compliment Thank you I sewed it on my class 4, tried to glue but with the curves didn't work for me. I ended up manipulating the gusset as it was being sewn. The front went pretty well, the back was another story. Sewed the center bottom and went up some on one side then sewed the top two ends with the last finishing that side. Then went to the other side working top down it got more interesting the farther down it got. Ended up using smooth jawed needle-nose pliers for the last 4 or so inches. That's where she got it. You are right about the usable space. With the size it will hold what she wants, but it was more of a fun piece than practical.

Thank you, it was a challenge. Thank you Thank you, fun to try unique stuff I get bored easily. Brass is good Buckle Guy has some good stuff. Not one I would like to do again. Thank you, My wife calls herself Abbi for abnormal. Guess some has rubbed off. Thank you, love too.

Thank you Thank you, had some good teachers. Forgot to include the inside, and the finished photo of a happy wife.

Thank you. Finished the body.

Gini saw a purse she liked, except the size. What's a husband to do? Started designing and making her one she wants. Tomorrow hopefully will assemble the gusset, it does scare me. This is the most complicated one due to the curves.

Thank you, have to get back to it. But you have to make hay when the sun is shining. Working outside.

Thank you. I just don't show the bad. Great way to use your leathers skills and store some pipes. Thank you. Thank you. It did and my arm was sore. Thank you, will post as we go.

Made a pipe tool pipe rest. To go in a pipe roll.

Got the top pipe holder done. It is 6 instead of 5 happy surprise.

Wanted to make a wall hanger to hold pipes, tobacco, and accessories. Doing a little carving on it. Lots more to do on other pieces.

Sorry I used the wrong words, I used two of the domed pieces that come with the snap sets.

Sweet, loved him on Saturday mornings.

Thank you, that is very expensive. It cost me 50 cents a bowl. Only smoke 2 to maybe 3 bowls a day. Thank you, Jim Linnell has good classes on how to do it. Keep at it. Thank you, I used two domed rivets instead of the flat ones it came with. Glad they are cheap. Thank you. I love cigars they just cost to much. 3 bowls a day cost $1.50 of bulk. Usually only 2.

This is really nice, may try it if you don't mind.

Made a tobacco tray with a carving of my favorite breed.

Nice interpretation of the wallet. It sounds interesting, Gini and I talked about it. Love that they can be donated to benefit the Veterans. May be a little to late to join.

Very nice work, he should be very happy.

Thank you, the pen holder is my design as a pen enthusiast it helps. Thank you Thank you for posting video.

Thank you Please do by all means, I am having a hard time finding the video of where I learned it or it would be posted. Cut the lines, low angle beveler, Lined (heel to toe} thumbprint at a very low angle over where you used the beveler. A 902 to create deeper cracks, and finally a swivel knife for finer cracks. Also as I have heard said "stamp deep", first one I didn't to this degree and it is noticeable. Definitely helps this pattern stand out, and the back is taped with painters tape to control stretch. This is my method and tools used, very close to the video. It is fun to do and at this point not as common as traditional basket weave.

Person wanted a notebook cover and pen holder in matching colors.

Thank you, The notebook was made to take a Midori MD6 which is fountain pen friendly. It is a little wider than a field notes and a whole lot more pages.

My little girl is growing into a young lady. She is interviewing for work and needed a wallet and notebook. Tried a few things I haven't done before to make them special. I am proud and sad, she is preparing to leave the nest.
