This kidney belt pouch pattern was made by Dark Horse Workshop. The backplate/lid, belt loops, and center strip were all made of 5-6 oz veg-tan and dyed with Green Fiebing's Pro Dye. The dye was airbrushed with the carving masked off, then the carving was given a coat of Fiebings Pro Resist before rubbing the whole thing down with Fiebing's Medium Brown Antique Paste. A final clear coat of Fiebing's Leather Balm with Atom Wax was applied and bused. The antler was cut from a skull gifted to me. The drawstring pouch was made from chocolate brown chrome-tanned upholstery hide. The "stone" set in the lid is acrylic, sourced from a maker on Amazon. -
@Railrider1920, here's that quick tutorial I promised you. I hope it helps you on your journey. If you have ANY questions, feel free to ask. Mike

I’ve been making a bunch of these totes lately. They’re a lot of fun to build, especially turning them right side out. The Raven was dyed red and block dyed black. I was initially wanting everything but the bird black. Due to some low spots in the leather it came out blotchy. Call it a happy accident! The thistle was hand painted. Veg tan flaps, bridle leather straps, pebble grain black leathers from Tandy for the body.

After a few prototypes and studies I finally finished a complete, full-sized mask. Not completely satisfied with how poorly eco-flo super sheene performed blocking the brown hi-lite color stain in the white areas despite having applied 5 coats. Next time I'll try resolene.

FINALLY got this present finished, but I messed it up so much that I told my guy that I'll make him a better one based off the same pattern and color. (turns out he wants a stag and owl on it anyway) I probably went about making this thing ass-backwards, but in the end it turned out alright. In any case, it holds the knife tight and looks a hell of a lot more harmonious with it than the cheapo nylon sheath that came with it. I underestimated how close I had made the knotwork to the edge, and just how much tooling it would expand the leather so I ended up stitching over the very tip of the knotwork at the bottom. I'm not so pleased with how the tooling itself came out, either, but I'm still progressing with it.

Some of my project's I've made this week. No experience before I bought the starter kit on a bit of a whim. I'm hooked is about all I can say. My minds full of idea's for projects, Knife sheaths and rifle scabbards, Shooting bags, Slings,belts and hat bands. So much to make. I'm trying to figure out what kind of Gear I can make for my Motocross gear. Art on my Boots?:D Some rounds with Celtic Knot desgins. My "heratige belt" with Shamrocks, Celtic Knots and a Scottish Thistle. Part of my family's Native American, I'm a big fan of that style art, So I made a Hawk, Orka and Chinook Salmon. The Animals/Tree was done just drawing the design. I had to use a template on the Knots. The Native art's gotten quite a bit of attention from my family, I'm going to make a bunch of Keychains for Gifts this Christmas. Should Keep me busy for the winter down time. -

Hello again, here is another of the projects I did for myself over the holiday break. I've been wanting to create an alternative for carrying some of my everyday items like phone, wallet, keys, earbuds, etc. that replaces the full pack I usually carry. I've tried this out and about a couple of times now and I am pleased with it. Let me know what you think. :-)

Greetings everyone! My name is Paul Alfred, and I am a new member here. I took an interest in leatherworking from my father, who used to run a taxidermy shop. Often he would have extra buckskin left over and would use it to make wallets, pouches, bags, backpacks, etc. I loved watching him make these things, and I enjoyed "helping" (often it was less than helpful, I'm sure). Years later, while I was in the US Air Force, I found out that a mentor of mine was also a saddler. When I mentioned my interest in leatherworking he began taking me to his shop and showing me the ropes. I enjoyed working with him, and with the leather, and I learned much over the next three years before deployments, and life, took me away to far and distant places. I have an interest in two types of leatherworking primarily. First is Medieval and Celtic leatherworking, for use at SCA and Renaissance Festival events. I have no intention of making leather armor (cool stuff, but not my thing). Instead, I enjoy making more practical things; bags, pouches, belts, book covers, etc. I also enjoy drawing Celtic knotwork, and many of my bits of artwork are drawn for leatherworking projects. My second interest in leatherworking is for reenacting, be it Celtic/Viking (or possibly Roman) items, or American Civil War and Texas Frontier items. I am starting to learn how to do classic Western leatherwork tooling, and hope to be able to create pieces for SASS members as well (I have a few friends in the SASS who are kindly asking me to learn this, lol). As of yet, I do not have a website. I have one under construction, though it will be at least a few weeks before it is up. I do have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/alfredleatherworks), a Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/1/113615960789211711186/posts), and a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/AlfredLworks). Once the website is up I'll post it here for y'all to take a look at. Also, I thought I'd post a couple pictures of me, just for fun.

Celtic Belt Version Two Tooled

Here is a photo of the design after I finished tooling the belt. -
Hello everyone! I'm still fairly new to the forum and I am enjoying seeing what everyone else is working on, or has done in the past. At the moment I am working on a commission from an old Air Force buddy of mine, a Celtic knotwork belt with a dragon head at the ends of the two knots. This is really version "2.0" of this belt as the first one I made was much simpler and not nearly as nice of a finished product. The first belt had the same knotwork design, minus the dragon heads, the edges were never burnished, and I used Ecoflow Kova Colors instead of dye or stain. Over the years the Kova Colors have cracked a bit, the rough edges of the belt have frayed, and overall I am not satisfied with how it has held up. Thankfully my friend who I made it for still loves it. This time around I am going to burnish the edges of the belt, I added the dragon heads to the design, and I am coloring it using Ecoflow Water Stain. From my research, the Ecoflow Water Stain is a quality product that will last through the wear and tear of regular usage. Also, the additions to the knotwork design, though a pain to draw up at first, were actually very easy to tool in and the look is a hundred times better in my opinion. The first photo is of the original belt that I made, while the others are of the current belt project, the "2.0 version".
