I started my leather crafting journey a year back.Very impressed with the level of talent in this forum.Request your feedback on something that I have been working on. -
Hello All, This is came from a template provided by Tboyce. I downloaded the revised version of the biker wallet, went to FedEx office to get it printed. I had them put it on 24 in X 36 in paper though there was quite a bit of excess paper at the bottom. I don't know what paper sizes they have though so maybe that's the only size to print on. I really like the template! The only issue I really ran into was in the card slots. The cards are really hard to push in and pull out, but I really think this is an issue with the waxed polyester thread I'm using from Tandy Leather. It might be a little to thick in diameter and a little too waxed. I've had a similar experience with other wallets I've made. So I would suggest to go with a non waxed or perhaps a thinner diameter thread. I've been wanting to try a new thread but haven't found a good cheaper price tag. I want to try Ritza Tiger thread but that's pretty pricey for me, so if anyone has a suggestion to try out I'd love to hear it! Also, I always have trouble with beveling thinner weight leathers. Does anyone have a tip or trick to do get a nice clean bevel? I've tried holding it down with a ruler but it still seems to push the leather at times. Yes I probably need to sharpen it better and I'm trying but I still haven't quite figured out sharpening anything well enough. Yes I know this is the show off section but I am always open to critiques to help me improve my skills, so if you see something feel free to say it, please! Anyways here is my version of this wallet: -
My first real attempt at braiding around a core actually, I think it turned out decently.

Guys been awhile since I posted Here are two biker wallets that I designed and have been selling. Both are 7inch. Italian 2mm Veg Tanned outer and 2mm Horween interiors. These are seriously heavy duty wallets that won't wear out. Each has slots that can hold 9 cards plus a zippered coin pouch plus 2 Note compartments. I have also just started making available Laser Cut Template Kits for each wallet. You can purchase the templates from my website http://www.wickedleather.com.au/product-category/wallet-templates/ Note: for the US people, prices shown are way less in $US...

Well this is the very first biker/trucker heck wallet period that I have done I really like the way this has turned out. and with out the chain might beable to sell them as a woman's hand purse. Not the best of photos as I used my phone to take these. Has 5 pockets total and I make the chains so they do not cost me that much. -
As my first post here, I wanted to show something I did for a commission just recently. I'm in the process of making several more just like these, and hopefully each will be better than the last. A co-worker has seen some of my past work, and wanted to know if I could make him a holster for his phone. He wanted a secure leather loop he could use while riding. Fast-forward a week or so and I had completed a working prototype to show him. This was made to fit my phone, an iPhone 5, which was a little taller than his. After some discussion, we settled on a design and I got to work. The finished product is more of a wallet that holds a phone, as it has a front pocket to hold several cards. I made it adjustable and dyed it a very dark brown, hard to see since I had just treated it with mink oil. This was my first time setting letters too, so after a few practice runs I *still* managed to get them slightly off. Although it has a few finish issues for my taste, he liked the "rough around the edges" look and is talking about commissioning me for more projects. Here's the finished product: I'm still learning but he seemed happy with it, which is all that matters to me. Thanks for looking and offering your suggestions!

Well this is my 2nd project overall, and my first project from scratch(no pre punched/cut tandy kits) I know I flubbed up on a couple things, but overall happy with it. My first wallet was a tandy kit, and took me, 10 hours start to finish, this one only took 5. The outer piece of leather is pretty thick, just because it was all I had available at the time, and no way to really shave it down.

A new windshield bag I made for my husband's Harley. The stingray was a last minute touch. -
Here is another wallet off the bench and turned into cash today. It's made with 4/5 HO and I tried some buffalo calf for the interior. It was nice to work with. Kangaroo laced. -
This is my first time "showing off" anything, but I thought a few of you might get a kick out of these beer holsters I made this week. I know there are a ton of people making them, and I thought I might be able to put my own spin on it. The way I have them sized they hold cans (short and tallboy), bottles, water bottles, and also my large bottle of contacts solution I carry around. Ha. Constructive criticism is welcome and thank you guys for your time.
