Nice! A multi-pouch for a multi-tool. Ingenious. /dwight

I think if you are making one you could make it any size you want. The author of that page even mentions that you could scale them to any size, just keep your pin circles the correct size for your pins and spaced appropriatly. /dwight

A while back I was looking for a center finder and stumbled on this site: https://www.instructables.com/Homemade-center-finder-tool-quick-cheap-easy/ I haven't actually made one yet, but it looks like it would be easy enough to do. /dwight

My wife just pointed out that I shouldn't give one to my son. I should give it to his wife. /dwight

FWIW: I've made a couple guitar straps for friends and family. I used Crazy Horse leather for the liner, then just burnished the edges as normal. The Crazy Horse and Veg-tan burnish together just fine. /dwight

Well since fire conditions are decades in the making, I seriously doubt that it's any one administration at fault. Thanks. It's actually glazed pig skin. Makes for pretty decent wallet liners. It's kind of stiff at first, but loosens up over time. I made a small wallet for my wife entirely out of the stuff and it's working out quite well for her. /dwight

Great idea. I'm going to have to make one for my son since he never finishes anything. Just as soon as I get one.... /dwight

Thanks. Thanks. We have a fairly decent air filter on the house HVAC system, so if I keep the fan running to circulate the air through it we typically aren't too bad in the house. However the Air Quality Index hit 202 this morning, which is very unhealthy for everyone. It may be time to run away and try to find some cleaner air. /dwight

Hi all - Been gone awhile dealing with life stuff. But with the heat outside lately combined with the smoke from the wildfires all around us, my wife and I have been fairly cooped up inside for a while. To keep from going completely stir crazy, I decided to make myself a new wallet since the one I did last year didn't quite have enough card pockets. I took the pattern from that one and made it a little longer, then added an insert to hold my license and insurance info. The nice part with that is that I can pull the insert out and only take that if all I need is my license and insurance.

If you are only going to do a few things as a hobby, my recommendation would be to just learn about hand stitching. It's really not that difficult, and there is a bit of a Zen aspect that comes once you get in to it. /dwight

Wow. That is just phenomenal!!! So this was originally posted 7 years ago. Do you still it? How has it held up over time? How about a couple of current photos if possible? /dwight

I would imagine that a holster that incorporated RFID fabric would only have the fabric on one side between the phone and the body. The phone would still be able to receive signals from the uncovered side. However I doubt how effective that would be. The radio waves from the cell phone would still spread out around the holster, so the protection would probably be minimal. /dwight

Perfect. I can run with that and make one specific to my phone. Thanks. Wow. That went fast. They just announced the availability of the mesh less than a week ago. If it went that quickly I'm sure they will be bringing in some more, so you might want to keep checking back. /dwight

Personally, I use a Champagne cork. The bigger knob on the one end is easier to hold on to. /dwight

I'm not sure how well it would work for cell signals, but Rocky Mountain Leather Supply has some RFID Blocking fabric that might be worth looking at for this: https://www.rmleathersupply.com/products/rfid-blocking-thin-fabric-0-1-mm-self-adhesive-back?_pos=1&_psq=RFID&_ss=e&_v=1.0 /dwight
