    Hat peg

    Not as much work as the Pinocchio ( skiving and wet forming ) but you are right about the looks . Good news is it didn't take much to convert it . @fredk I remember my father had hooks like the one you posted . I like to hang my hats but I have heard it is best to lay them crown down on a flat surface , I don't know .

    Hat peg

    The first ( all leather one ) was meant mostly for fun hence Pinocchio and I was surprised when it worked . A little too much skiving and wet molding for what it does so here is version 2.. I will make several to place around the house for convenience , Wool dauber cut and bent , couple of whip stitches ..... much quicker and looks better imo .

    Hat peg

    and it actually works . Kind of cheesy I know but I wear hats and now I can have hat pegs in every room . I had a little fun with this one but a fellow could do some nice tooling and they would look cooler .
  18. @SUP Thank you @Handstitched Yes I saw that thread . Thanks @YinTx Thanks , I made the daughter a neckless with the arrowhead , 2 pieces of 8 oz glued up and beveled the edges , some beads . I really had not thought about leather cord though
  19. My point exactly , butcher pays x $ per pound . He knows that some cuts will be worth more and charges accordingly . No one is talking about throwing out scrap leather just how to value it .
  20. Ain't I the odd duck here ? My scrap is free in that if after buying a B side of H O for $ 260.00 ( about $11.00 a sf / $ .95 a square inch ) I haven't paid for that in projects , I need a new hobby . I am sure if I made a living from leather I would feel different but even then I wouldn't charge my butcher the same for scrap as for top line leather .I know I wouldn't want to pay the same price for stew meat as prime rib ! To each his own after all the man that paid for whatever has the final say .
  21. Not bad at all . I bagged it for a few years when I first started construction then moved to a small cooler .
  22. cause I ain't gonna get rich . Here are some earrings for a lady that has a local shop that caters mostly to women . I'm sure for her to make any money I want be buying a side any time soon all scrap so nothing but time, a little oil and dye , and finish .
  23. Yeah it can be adapted for a good deal of things . thanks
  24. Cut a wood blank the size of the tablet , then cut that on the diagonal , put bottom piece in first , now top piece and hammer it in . All with the leather wet well with warm water ,
  25. Same as I make boxes just taller and smaller diameter .
